SOMEONE ELSE CAN CLEAN UP THIS MESS

8 March–30 March 2014 weekends 4–6pm

This series of events at Flat Time House is part of a research project with Electra into the work of the women active in 60s and 70s London. Rather than a direct historical enquiry, each weekend event explores collaborative relationships between artists of this and younger generations, through performance and discussion. Places for all events are limited and must be booked in advance.

The gallery of FTHo will be reconfigured to host the performative presentations. Each event will be followed by drinks and a shared meal. Installed in the re-designed space will be a single work by each of the artists in focus. A publication will follow in April.

Childcare will be available but booking is essential.

JENNIFER PIKE COBBING & HOLLY ANTRUM

Saturday 8 March, 4–6pm

Catalogue (2013) is the outcome of a collaboration between Holly Antrum and Jennifer Pike Cobbing. Aimed at being a film ‘with’ rather than ‘about’, Antrum invited Jennifer Pike to present herself and her work. This event will include a screening of Catalogue and a presentation by the artists. The event will be followed by drinks and a shared meal.

BARBARA STEVENI & JAKOB JAKOBSEN

Postponed

This performative exchange between the two artists takes as it's starting point Steveni's home during the 1960s and 1970s; 22 Portland Road in Notting Hill.  Drawing on Steveni's development as a dancer and artist in relation to her material life during those years, the conversation starts as a filmed exchange between the two artists outside 22 Portland Road, discussing the experiences that that house was witness to; making food, hanging out, socialising, making art, bringing up children.

ANNABEL NICOLSON & LUCY REYNOLDS

Sunday 16 March, 4–6pm

Lucy Reynolds has long been enchanted by the 'fugitive pull' of Annabel Nicolson's work, writing and discussing Nicolson's work in a number of different contexts. Most recently the two worked together as part of Anthology, a collaorative project at Camden Arts Centre (2013). Lucy will present films and a collective reading, born out of their ongoing exchanges over the past decade.

ANNEA LOCKWOOD & CATHY LANE

29 March 2014 4–6pm

Annea Lockwood and Cathy Lane present a collaborative audio, visual and spoken conversation. Drawing upon their own experiences as women working with sound and performance in 1960's and 1980's London, respectively, they will speak of the emergence of a feminist subjectivity, and how this manifested in their practices.
