DREAMWORKS (ii)

In the closing week of his exhibition, Solomon Garçon will present DREAMWORKS (ii), a performance / listening party. Enlisting shadow-play, movement, and live sound, Garçon will utilise the unique acoustics of the gallery to foreground unmarked territories within the space.

DREAMWORKS (ii) takes place as part of ARMS, Garçon's first institutional exhibition in the UK. Garçon’s practice considers both the ‘digital’ and the ‘underground’ as spaces of experimentation. The artist weaves narratives and simulations of liminal and re-imagined spaces, often referencing shape-shifting and anamorphic figures from reality television and horror genres.

This performance includes loud music and strobing lights.

Booking essential. Capacity limited.

Tickets £3

Studio Voltaire will be open from 7 pm. A bar will be running.

The performance duration will be approximately 1 hour, from 7.30pm.
