Turtle Salon in the Project Rooms
A two day screening at Färgfabriken in Stockholm, Sweden
6 - 7 June 2015, 11am - 4pm
www.fargfabriken.se
Turtle Salon in the Project Rooms is a weekend of artist film and video at Färgfabriken in Stockholm. The programme was initially shown in Duved in Jämtland under the title Turtle Salon in the Forest. Under a star spangled August sky eight hours of film and video was shown. The programme is a collaboration between the network Turtle Salon and the Artist Colony who were hosting Turtle Salon in the Forest. Turtle Salon was started by Michael H Shamberg nearly a decade ago, just after he was diagnosed with rare neurological disease. A few months after Turtle Salon in the Forest Michael H Shamberg passed away and we have decided to show the programme again as a hommage to Michael and as a promise for the network to live on.
Turtle Salon in the Project Rooms is presenting an opportunity to see pieces chosen by the artists themselves, and artists at different stages in their careers and with different approaches to the moving image are presented. A warm welcome!

Drawing Biennial 2015 Auction closes
"This is our seventh Drawing Biennial and we are proud that over the years it has evolved from a fundraiser into one of the most significant exhibitions in our programme. The Drawing Biennial exhibitions continue to bring together an amazing line up of artists, representing a myriad of ideas and approaches to drawing from around the world today. We recognise that artists are asked, increasingly, to support and donate to galleries, and we are indebted to all the artists who have so readily agreed to be in the exhibition and support us by generously donating their works. The Drawing Biennial is our core funding and without their generosity over the last 14 years our programme would not have been possible. We owe it to the artists to ensure that their works go to a good home. By bidding in our online auction you are helping us achieve that goal, while supporting artists’ reputations and raising funds to continue our support of artists’ contemporary drawing practice." Mary Doyle and Kate Macfarlane, Drawing Room Co-directors.

As part of the symposium 'WIR SIND ALLE BERLINER: 1884-2014', 26-28th February 2015, which commemorates 130 years of the Berlin Conference and proposes a space for deliberation on the repercussions of this crucial event, offering an occasion to analyse the ideological, economic, political, and humanitarian justifications that underlay colonialism and still frame the asymmetric relations between the West and the non-West today.

Curated by Bonaventure Ndikung with Elena Agudio, Anna Jäger and Saskia Köbschall.

Biters: David Blandy & Larry Achiampong
Building on solo projects that explore both artists’ interests in popular culture and the post-colonial position, Biters presents new collages that combine lyrics and sounds that draw from each artist’s identity and musical heritage, while posing the question, what does Authenticity mean in the information age? David Blandy and Larry Achiampong will (re)perform live in an evening of sampled samples, regurgitated rhymes and deconstructed soul. Find out more HERE

Biters: Larry Achiampong & David Blandy at the V&A, London, Oct 31st
Biters: Larry Achiampong and David Blandy performed at the V&A London, Friday 31st October as part of Friday Late, "Collections of Collections".
Grand Entrance
Larry Achiampong and David Blandy shared sounds from their connected audible heritage. In their performance 'Biters', the artists investigate what identity means in the post-colonial and post-mass media age as they acknowledge the debt their practices hold to hip-hop culture and its relationship with art and appropriation by presenting a recycled collection of already-sampled beats and reciting a collection of stolen rhymes.

On the weekend of 18 and 19 October – during the Frieze Art Fair – Serpentine Galleries presents the Extinction Marathon, the ninth in the Galleries' yearly Marathon series. Artists, writers, scientists, film-makers, choreographers, theorists and musicians explore the complex and timely topic of extinction through talks, conversations, performances and screenings.
Felt across the humanities and the sciences alike, the spectre of extinction looms over the ways in which we understand our being in the world today. Environmental degradation, atomic weapons, threats communities and languages, global warming, economic collapses, natural catastrophes, life wiped out by genocide, disease and hunger – the constellation of topics around extinction is ever-expansive and as urgent now as ever before.
Both a reflexive overview and a call to action, the two-day event invites us to respond, together, to a changing world, addressing visions of the future in all their scientific, artistic and literary ramifications. The Extinction Marathon is programmed in collaboration with artist Gustav Metzger, whose work – including his Serpentine Gallery exhibition Decades 1959 – 2009 – addresses extinction and climate change.

14th September 2014
Video pieces and sonic experiments by emerging artists working in Africa and the diaspora.
Conceived as part of Africa Utopia 2014, this project draws from the notion of utopia as a concept allowing the reinvention of an African experiences, memories and narratives both from an individual and collective perspective.

This display is conceived by Christine Eyene, curator and Guild Research Fellow in Contemporary Art, University of Central Lancashire.
