Poets in response to Blake: Keith Jarrett, Chris McCabe, Robert Montgomery + Tamar Yoseloff
Wednesday 26 February Doors 6.30pm Readings 7pm
Come along to hear from some of the UK's most dynamic poets as they present new work in response to Flat Time House's exhibition, The Bard. Over 250 years after the young William Blake saw a vision of an angel in a tree on Peckham Rye, Flat Time House has commissioned six poets to bring their words and visions to Peckham. Each of the poets has been commissioned to write in response to the life and work of William Blake and/or in response to that other creator of cosmologies, John Latham. You will have time to see how the poet's words have been installed on the walls of Flat Time House as part of the exhibition, as well as hearing the new work written in response to two artists (Blake and Latham) who felt they 'must create a system or be enslaved by another man's' (Jerusalem).

Launch Party for Legsicon By Laure Prouvost
Friday 21 June 6.30–9pm
Flat Time House is excited to host the summer solstice launch party for Laure Prouvost’s new book Legsicon, published by Book Works and M HKA. Legsicon delves into the philosophical depths of the artist’s practice, through the familiar, if transformed, format of a lexicon, to portray the work of an artist developing complex thought through artistic languages. Deviating from a typical monograph, Legsicon functions as a sort of dictionary, exploring and expanding on thirty-six notions in Prouvost’s work, with each incorporating a commissioned text, new drawings created by the artist and selected documentation of her related works.
Before his death, Laure worked for several years in the house as John Latham’s assistant here at Flat Time House.
There will be readings from the book starting at 7.30pm, by Laure Prouvost, and Paul Buck, Melissa Gronlund, Nav Haq, Elisa Kay, Barbara Stevini, Maija Timonen, and Mark Webber.
Drinks will be served
