OFF MODERN /// Off Modern LATE at The Barbican

[steve1rnfb]

As part of the OMA/Progress exhibition curated by Rotor at Barbican Art ##############, Off Modern presents an night of sound, visuals and performances by artists, filmmakers, designers and musicians engaged in deconstructing the spatial experience and architecture of the Barbican, and mapping futuristic scenarios. The event will take <a href="http://www.monclersoldes2011.com"><strong>Moncler Soldes</strong></a> place in the Barbican Foyers and Art ##############, as well as its labyrinthine corridors and public spaces, inside and out. In the ############## events space on Level 3, James Bulley and Daniel Jones debut Maelstrom, a sonic sculpture that sources sound fragments uploaded to Youtube, feeding these through a notated score that voices infinite chord variations from the collected data. In a collaboration between musician Lewis Rainsbury and filmmaker/photographer Ciaran Wood, the pair present a series of video and audio works recorded exclusively on smartphones and treated into a series of looping soundtracks and landscapes. Artist Lewis Wright's piece Live From Distant Shores features on the Frobisher Crescent Sculpture Court, a compilation of live CCTV feeds from desolate ports and jetties in the UK, exploring the cartographical possibilities of the Internet by providing mysterious glimpses of nautical terrain. <a href="http://www.monclersoldes2011.com"><strong>Moncler Pas Cher</strong></a> Photographer Tom Saunderson presents new work based on the architecture of the Barbican itself, whilst artists Tom Pearson and Hannah Bould transform that same architecture into a hanging mobile, reimagining the traditional models used by architectural practices. Eat Your Own Ears curate Blackout Sessions, one of two stages at Off Modern Late open until 1am. Blackout Sessions, run by Late of The Pier's Sam Potter, are gigs in which the bands play in complete darkness. With the line up kept secret Blackout Sessions provide a unique opportunity for an audience, a chance to experience live music free from expectations and preconceptions. On the second stage London Symphony Orchestra present Aftershock, a clubnight featuring a series of unique performances from LSO players, with live sound-tracking as well as djing and visuals provided by Off Modern collaborators <a href="http://www.monclersoldes2011.com"><strong>Moncler Homme</strong></a> Straight 2 Video. Further into the night sub-base takes over with DJ sets from Off Modern friends and family. &nbsp; Featuring Work From: SPPP (Shelley Parker &amp; Paul Purgas) Tom Saunderson Daniel Jones and James Bulley Tom Pearson + Hannah Bould Claire Baily Dash May Sam Potter Lewis Rainsbury + Ciaran Wood (Vondelpark) Lewis Teague Wright Rob Chavasse Henry Stringer Tasha Cox Off Modern Plus: EatYourOwnEars presents BlackOut Sessions London Symphony Orchestra presents Aftershock with visuals provided by Straight to Video More TBC FACEBOOK EVENT
