AFTER LETHABY

For five days Ball and Blazicek will capture moving image, still image and audio material around and about Central St Martins’ Lethaby Building. They will be concerned with interrogating a range of spatial, historical and other phenomena of the space and its use. The material will be developed into a one-off live audio-visual performance conceived specifically for this event at this site. The exact nature of the work will be determined during its development, which will be documented over the days preceding the performance at http://blazicek.net/lethaby

This performance has been made possible with the support of Film Academy of Performing Arts Prague (FAMU) Prague and International Centre for Fine Art Research (ICFAR) UAL, with thanks to Judy Lindsay, Head of Museum and Contemporary Collections, Central St Martins.
