Incidentally: Yvonne Lammerich & Joan Key
Friday 9th April 2010 – Sunday 9th May 2010 , 12:00am to 11:59pm
This concert takes place in the context of an exhibition of paintings by Yvonne Lammerich and Joan Key. Music, or reference to compositional notation, is used as a resource in works by both these artists to suggest the fragile or destabilised presence of ‘incident’.
Some of the works in the concert result from Key’s collaborations/exchanges with Richard Emsley and Anton Lukoszevieze over the last decade, but the selection of the programme generally presents a strand of contemporary British composition that pursues experimentation in notation, instrumentation and approach to performance where visual concepts offer productive metaphors.
Angharad Davis (violin) , Anton Lukoszevieze (cello) , Ian Mitchell , David Ryan (clarinets) and Tim Parkinson (melodica & percussion) will perform works by Lawrence Crane, Richard Emsley, Joan key, Tim Parkinson, Markus Trunk.
Free admission
Exhibition information
Both Joan Key and Yvonne Lammerich present encounters that persist as live and resonant, accentuating viewing as incident. Key’s paintings “link abstract form and graphic notation to explore ways in which the picture can be viewed as an event”. Through installation and painting, Lammerich explores the gaps and discrepancies between the real and the apparent.
Joan Key lives and works in London. Recent group exhibitions include ‘Travelogue’, One in the Other, London (2008); ‘The Walls in Three Places’, White Nave Trust, Charlton Shopping Centre, Dover (2008).
Key also develops performances and compositions that explore parallels between the visual and sound. Recent projects include ‘Performance for Tania Chen’, performed by Tania Chen, Café Oto, London, (2009); ‘On Instructions from MD’, a composition for six performers, commissioned and performed by Apartment House for ‘Sound Waves Festival’, organised by BMIC, Brighton Pavilion Theatre (2008).
Yvonne Lammerich lives and works in Toronto. Current projects include ‘DIYS’, a proposal for a virtual museum (2009). Recent exhibitions include ‘Belief’, Diaz Contemporary, Toronto, (solo, 2008); ‘Abitation’, Trianon Gallery, Lethbridge, Alberta (collaboration with Ian Carr-Harris, 2008).
‘Incidentally’ is curated by Sotiris Kyriacou.
