DISCLOSURE: Old Words Made New Work by King's College Graduate Students & Artist Erica Scourti at Furtherfield.
Event Date: Saturday 2 November 2013, 12-4pm http://www.furtherfield.org/programmes/event/disclosure-old-words-made-new DISCLOSURE: Old Words Made New. Ethical knowledge, sacred spaces, forgotten histories and challenging predispositions. Furtherfield is pleased to present the excellent cross cultural project DISCLOSURE: Old Words Made New'. We have collaborated with Medieval Studies Graduate Students from King's College London, and artist Erica Scourti to reversion a contemporary representation on the subject of medieval social lives, based on the theme of ‘ethical knowledge’ through Old English. With a combination of works in the Finsbury Park surroundings, sound installations, collaborative writing, and performance. The question posed to the King's College students was "If we existed in a contemporary society where the Internet could no longer be trusted because of systems of networked surveillance, what would be the different ways in which we could communicate?" The project is part of Colm Cille’s Spiral project, a collaboration between Difference Exchange, King's College London and Furtherfield, and takes place alongside a commission by artist Erica Scourti. It relates to a series of contemporary art and literature commissions and dialogues rethinking the legacy of 6th Century Irish monk Colm Cille, or St Columba, that unfolds across Ireland and the UK, starting and ending in Derry-Londonderry for City of Culture 2013. Kings College Students taking part are: Carl Kears, Kathryn Maude, Hana Videen, Victoria Walker, Rebecca Hardie, Francesca Allfrey. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
