Exhibition: 19th -26th October 2012 at BLANKSPACE (43, Hulme Street, Manchester M15 6AW)
Public Preview: 18th October 6-9pm Symposium: 27th & 28th October
IN/(from the out) is a collaborative project from Ben Gwilliam & Helmut Lemke working with listening and location sound (& their contexts) at the site of BLANKSPACE in Manchester. As practitioners in the ‘between’ areas of sound/music and the Fine Arts they are fascinated by the value of listening; to be engaged with the human relationship of sound in the environment, looking at three distinct urban ‘scapes’ (land, sound and texture).

EYE MUSIC FOR DANCING
EYE MUSIC FOR DANCING
SOME PERFORMANCES, 2 – 5PM SUNDAY 14 OCTOBER
Anna Barham, Julika Gittner, Heather Phillipson with Jennifer Cobbing,
Robert Sheppard with Patricia Farrell and a photocopier.
Curated by Bridget Crone
EXHIBITION DATES 29 SEPTEMBER – 29 OCTOBER 2012
Opening on 28 SEPT 6 – 8pm
Thurs – Sun 12 – 6pm
Late nights – Last Friday of the month until 8pm
The exhibition,
EYE MUSIC FOR DANCING takes experimentation with phonetics as a starting point, addressing the abstraction of language through the physicality of sound itself. Alliteration, tonal patterning, feedback, distortion, stretched and reshaped vocalizations are explored through work by London based artists, Anna Barham, Julika Gittner and Heather Phillipson alongside a selection of the poet, Bob Cobbing’s work.
For this performance afternoon, SOME PERFORMANCES, Barham, Gittner and Phillipson (the exhibiting artists) will present performancesthat relate to or extend our understanding of the work in exhibition. For example, Anna Barham’s durational reading-performance, Volume II provides a sense of the physical (or as Cobbing would say, “muscular”) activity of language itself.
In addition to these performances related directly to the exhibition, EYE MUSIC FOR DANCING, the poets, Robert Sheppard (with Patricia
Farrell) will perform a work with that he wrote in collaboration with Cobbing in 2001. And Cobbing’s wife and collaborator, Jennifer Pike will
also perform.As we know, Cobbing’s use of the photocopier was a central aspect of his work and we pay homage to his processual practice – the focus on language as a physical and perhaps machinic activity. We extend an open invitation to writers and poets to bring finish worked or work in progress for performance and duplication via the photocopier that will be install in the gallery space.
PLEASE BRING WORK FOR PERFORMANCE-PRODUCTION USING THE PHOTOCOPIER.

Mercy at Manchester Weekender
Cornerhouse are hosting a brand new live-language-cascade mixing lecture, performance and archive-feedback with video-smith Sam Meech, and poets Steven Fowler, Nathan Jones and Hannah Silva.
Composite: Feedback is a multimedia showcase and live archiving event curated by Mercy, mixing together spoken-word performance with live sampling, notation, analogue processing, and projection – all in one self generating feedback loop. A beautiful and absurd experiment, where the performers and array of interfaces are thrown into a productive conflict.
The event is split into three sections, beginning with short talks and performances on noise, speech violence and glitch, followed by a feedback work-out, pushing the performers into a state of continual improvisation. Finally the Annexe will be left to perpetuate itself as a throbbing artifact of degenerating feedback material.
Featuring poets Steven Fowler, Hannah Silva and Nathan Jones. With video design by Sam Meech. This event is part of the Manchester Weekender. More here.

Accidentally on Purpose
Strategies for Approaching Repeating Problems
Emma Cocker & Rachel Lois Clapham, Fatima Hellberg, Gil Leung, Andrew McGettigan, Francesco Pedraglio, David Raymond Conroy, Alex Vasudevan
Forming part of Accidentally on Purpose curated by Candice Jacobs and Fay Nicolson and produced in collaboration with QUAD
www.accidentalpurpose.net
6 October 2012, 11am – 5pm
The Box, QUAD, Market Place, Derby, DE1 3AS
Strategies for approaching repeating problems presents a series of performances, presentations and talks around the ideas explored in the Accidentally on Purpose exhibition at QUAD, connecting the exhibition to wider contemporary issues in cultural production and discourse.
From difficulties inherent in language and communication to the way artists and writers position themselves in relation to wider social issues, such as education and the public sphere, this event will identify an array of current or ever-present difficulties, discuss their perception from different positions and consider whether notions of progress or return are clichés or inevitable fates.
