Ceri Hand Gallery Summer Fete 2013 Performance programme
Megan, Charlotte, Angela and Nathaniel Pitt, as directed by Ned James The Futility and Beauty 12.00pm – 2.00pm
Nat:
“Hi Ned, Ceri Hand is advertising projects for an event called Summer Fete, any ideas? I’m taking my family to London that day on route to Paris.”
Ned:
“THE BEAUTY AND FUTILITY OF AN ANARCHY BADGE” A PRODUCTION LINE – YOUNGEST DAUGHTER DRAWS OUT THE ANARCHY SYMBOL – OLDEST DAUGHTER COLOURS IT IN – YOUR WIFE CUTS IT OUT – YOU MAKE THE BADGE – REPEAT”
Helena Hunter Eye Tunes 12.30pm, 2.30pm, 4.30pm
Helena Hunter presents a series of pop up performances throughout the day, each lasting about the length of a pop single. The soundtrack for the performance is a mix tape of songs with the eye as a central theme. Cassette tapes are available to buy on the day and will feature hits such as Bette Davis Eyes, Hungry Eyes, Angel Eyes, Sexy Eyes and more!
Gemma Marmalade Fish Wives 2.00pm
Performed for the very first time at Ceri Hand Gallery, Fish Wives is a new ‘street fight’ performance by artist Gemma Marmalade which combines the artist’s wry humour and an unpalatable display of live female aggression. The title references an Italian historical ritual from the island of Linosa, Italy, which each year sees opposing matriarch flagellate each other with fish until a victor is decided. In this viscously entertaining performance, artist Gemma Marmalade and muse will compete against the backdrop of a live operatic commentary, egged on by spectators until the performance reaches its penultimate conclusion.
Robert Foster in Stocks 3.00pm – 5.30pm
Robert Foster will be spending the afternoon of the Summer Fete in front of the gallery in stocks. Banished from the Fete by Ceri Hand Gallery’s own Master of Ceremonies, Doug Jones, Foster will be subject to no end of humiliation and shaming as the audience are invited to pelt him with rotting fruit and veg…
(Cursing and heckling are positively encouraged)
Sam Keogh Taken from/Put in Oscar’s Bin 3.30pm
By nature, Oscar the Grouch is messy, hypocritical and antagonistic. In ‘Taken out of/put into Oscar’s bin’ these traits are activated as the figure of Oscar is sculpted through a constellation of conflicting metaphors, associations, histories, biographies and descriptions of materials. Through a considered use of grammar and syntax these various threads are matted together to present a textural impression of Oscar, an appearance of his messy figure entangled in the senses of the reader.
