FTHo

To accompany The Psychopathic Now! on Saturday 8th December FTHo is hosting a reading group with Emmy Beber followed by a film screening event hosted by Jamie Sutcliffe. You are welcome to attend one or both events. Events are free but booking is required for the reading group.

1-3pm: Reading Group with Emmy Beber NOW FULLY BOOKED

Writer Emmy Beber, editor of The Bodies That Remain (Punctum, 2018), leads a reading group based on Jeff Nuttall’s Bomb Culture, extrapolating a bodily politics of frailty, vulnerability and resilience from the post-atomic condition described by Nuttall's evocative text. Readings will be drawn from Bomb Culture and both contemporaneous and contemporary sources. You are welcome to stay and attend the film screening afterwards.

4-6pm: Film Screening with introduction by Jamie Sutcliffe

Writer and exhibition co-curator Jamie Sutcliffe introduces a selection of films that parenthetically book-end Bomb Culture’s political, psychological and aesthetic concerns. Lindsay Anderson’s March to Aldermaston (1959) and Jamie Wadhawan Cain’s Film (1969) record a journey from popular anti-nuclear demonstration to an interest in the possibilities of anti-psychiatry and the insurrection ‘of a million minds’.

Free, no booking required.

Residence Kitchen is a project started by Jonathan Hoskins and Susannah Worth last year. It's an ongoing, non-regular events series for working (and eating) through problems of organising, including empowering introversion. Each event is 'scored': Jonathan and Susannah plan things (centred on food) that will be going on over the course of each event, to make it a space ripe for tackling these problems. They're keen for the project to be a space where people with these common concerns can come together repeatedly, over time, towards a more cumulative understanding than just one event can allow. 

Thursday 17th May, 7-9:30pm

Film screening including film and video works by Betsy Bromberg, Holly Pester & Jenny Moore, Carolee Schneemann and Sheffield Film Co-op

Programmed by Beth Bramich & Kathryn Siegel

A screening programme of feminist film and video on the theme of affective and reproductive labour. The programme Bramich and Siegel have put together results from discussions at the Bad Vibes Club reading group over the last six months. In particular, two sessions focussing on Julia Kristeva's 'Women’s Time' and the writing of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick have influenced this selection. The works programmed explore different forms of labour through poetry, song and experimental and documentary film and will be presented in 16mm film and digital video.

Places are free but very limited.

Performance starts: 7:58 pm

Mary Hurrell’s 3 (OXIORCAD) is a 40 minute choreographed performative event with live soundscape that takes place across sunset between 7:58pm - 8:38pm at Flat Time House.

3 (OXIORCAD) is the result of a research residency Hurrell undertook working with the John Latham archive. This exhibition as event forms the third part of a project, produced in collaboration with Kunstraum, London, which maps changes in state of an amorphous body. Time is used as a material in Hurrell’s work, acting as a counterbalance to movement, a force of friction or fluidity to form. The trilogy is conceived as one; choreography stretched over time and space via iterations in past, present and future. Part three of the project 3 (OXIORCAD) concludes the project and delivers the work's final ’liquid’ state.

Free event, limited space. Email [email protected] to book your place.

The Bad Vibes Club presents Sophie Mallett, who will be leading a live listening and screening session. In this speculative docufiction video, jellyfish are cast as the protagonists of a new era in geopolitics. Global warming has disrupted ocean currents and their dependent trade routes, simultaneously halting trade relationships and enabling epic blooms of our gelatinous overlords.

At Tate Exchange 18 - 22 April 2018

From 12–6pm

Between 1989 and 1995 the Southwark Education Research Project engaged over 1,500 children and teachers by placing artists in fifteen schools across the London borough of Southwark. For this radical project, artists John Latham, Barbara Steveni, Rita Keegan, Carlyle Reedy and David Carr looked at the role of contemporary art in relation to learning and educational restructuring. This exhibition revisits SERP’s significance at a time when the arts in education are increasingly under threat from shifts in policy and the contraction of opportunity for young people to engage with art and culture in-school.

At Tate Exchange you will have the opportunity to learn about the radical Southwark Education Research Project and take part in reactivating its archive with artists Barbara Steveni and Barby Asante.

Start time - 3pm

Discussion 4.30pm onwards

Free event, limited space. Email

An exhibition of painting, installation, artificial intelligence and robotics.

The Museum of the Order of Saint John

St John’s Gate, 26 St John's Lane, London EC1M 4DA

Ben Cain will be in conversation with FTHo curator Gareth Bell-Jones on his exhibition Passive Imperative Participation Vibe. Cain will discuss themes that are recurrent throughout his practice and specifically in the installation at Flat Time House. The discussion will place particular emphasis on John Latham and Ben Cain's use of objects as a means to convey duration and the means by which Cain adapted his artwork for a domestic environment.

This event is free and no booking is required.

Kunstraum, 21 Roscoe Street

Whipped Up is a collaborative project by of a group of graduating students form the Royal College of Art. Working alongside curator Gareth Bell-Jones and researcher Marina Hadjilouca the group has been exploring the concept of instruction art at FTHo. The exhibition is based on a set of instructions written anonymously by each of the artists. A selection of these instructions have been physically ‘whipped up’ in the gallery space in 8 hours and will be on show at a private view at Kunstraum.
