Flat Time House

Lina Hermsdorf - State 0

28 Sept – 5 Nov 2017 | Opening: Wed 27 Sept 2017 - 6.30-8.30pm

With contributions by: Emmy Beber, Dean Kissick, John Latham

For her first institutional show in the UK, Lina Hermsdorf presents an architectural transformation of Flat Time House with an immersive sound installation throughout John Latham’s studio home. For this new commission, Hermsdorf uses large sheets of reinforced glass to divide the rooms of Flat Time House creating different sound spaces in which viewers may find they experience a temporal dissonance. The exhibition environment is used as a time-based medium with the viewer at the centre of a series of non-linear scripted narratives.

Lina Hermsdorf - State 0 - Performance with Emmy Beber

Sunday 8th October at 5pm | Saturday 4th November at 3pm and 5pm

Lina Hermsdorf has worked with performer Emmy Beber to bring about a series of performances as interventions in the space of her exhibition State 0. Using the exhibition space as a set, Beber will at times speak both live and lip-synched, recite biographical and virtual narratives and perform externalised and internal selves.

Performances are free or pay what you like.

About

Flat Time House (FTHo) was the studio home of John Latham (1921-2006), recognised as one of the most significant and influential British post-war artists. In 2003, Latham declared the house a living sculpture, naming it FTHo after his theory of time, ‘Flat Time’. Until his death, Latham opened his door to anyone interested in thinking about art. It is in this spirit that Flat Time House opened in 2008 as a gallery with a programme of exhibitions and events exploring the artist's practice, his theoretical ideas and their continued relevance. It also provides a centre for alternative learning, which includes the John Latham archive, and an artist's residency space.
