OFF THE SHELF: PERFORMANCE, FILM, VIDEO, POETRY, MUSIC

Monday 22nd March, 6 - 10.30pm

Taking as its theme a re-examination of the Small Press Collection of rare magazines housed at UCL, this event will give you the chance to engage with the spirit of the alternative 'avant-garde' press, re-visiting early texts that straddle the divide between art and poetry — including artists and writers Vito Acconci, Sol Le Witt, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Derek Jarman and Bob Cobbing. These texts will be explored through various forms of performance and accompanied by film, video and documentation of the period. The evening will also stage new creative works by contemporary visual artists, writers and musicians, exploring the interaction between words and images and a 'speaker's corner' with short talks by members of the Slade Word/Image Research Forum.
