Shhh!

Hello all

2012 is upon us already and with the potential end-of-the-world firmly in sight we charge forward into its open jaws...or something like that.

Right the first of the years posts is here and its all about the next installment of the Local's excellent 'SHHH' events which will take place on Feb 4th at Gallery Cafe, London. 'SHHH' is an all day celebration of quiet music and for the first time alongside the great music, which includes the likes of Steven Adams, Anna Meredith, Tom Rogerson (Three Trapped Tigers) and many more, it will also feature a few bits and bats of art and film that relate to quietness curated by me. This will include audio-visual sculptures by Rita Evans, some improvised soundtracks to silent films and a screening of the first part of the new film about David Thomas Broughton. Exciting stuff indeed.

As if that weren't enough I have designed a new poster/print for the day which will be available at a special discounted price on the day alongside a host of other merch and goodies. Look at it now:

All in all it should be a great day so i suggest you go get yourself a ticket HERE

Black Dogs presents

Unlearned Tricks: A night of improvised music, art and general dog play

Sunday 24 July 2011

19.00 - 23.00
The Constitution
42 St Pancras Way
London
NW1 0QT
 
Join us on the final night of the Camden Players festival to enjoy an evening of wholesomely bizarre and entertaining music, performance and artists' film selected and presented by art collective Black Dogs. Featuring performances from Sly and the Family Drone, the Black Dogs Ensemble, the Peter J. Taylor Guitar Orchestra, Stockpot Stopcock, Patrick Coyle, and more, Black Dogs will celebrate and conclude this month-long cultural adventure through Camden in a suitably reflective and mysterious manner.

Black Dogs is an art collective formed in 2003 in Leeds with a core membership of ten artists based in Leeds, Bradford, London and Milton Keynes. They operate as a DIY, not-for-profit organisation with an output which has included formal exhibitions, relational and participatory installations, public events and interventions, publications, video, audio works, and collaborative learning projects. Black Dogs' activities shift between social practice and art and through the structure and operation of the group ideas of collaboration, not-for-profit motives, and self-organised approaches to artistic practice are continually explored and developed.
