Thursday 27 May 2010

Curated by Florence Peake, From Morning brings the work of six artists to Hawksmoor's Christ Church Spitalfields in London on Thursday 27 May. Works by Katye Coe, Joe Moran, Florence Peake and Sally Dean, and Nikki Tomlinson with Hannah Marshall, will inhabit distinct spaces in the church, finding new resonances with its architecture. You are invited to a journey around this beautifully restored building and to experience performances and installations in the intimate altar and crypt, the vast nave, and aerially, from the gallery.
Performances will be shown 3 times in one day; at 9am, midday and dusk, reflecting traditional prayer times and addressing questions of body, mind, time and space.

From Morning : 9am, 1pm and 7.30pm
From Morning is curated by Florence Peake, a London-based artist and curator who creates interdisciplinary work and curates events crossing the boundaries between visual art and dance. With a training in dance and a background in painting, her practice now uses artists’ materials, objects, film, text and movement where site and the audience relationship are important factors.
"Florence Peake's curation of the Herbert Art Gallery series in Coventry last summer as part of Summer Dancing Festival 2009 was inspirational." Dr Sarah Whatley

Behind my back by Katye Coe
A study of self in motion, towards settling and towards flight
Plainsong by Nikki Tomlinson with Hannah Marshall
Plainsong is a live duet between choreographer and performer Nikki Tomlinson and cellist Hannah Marshall. It is a structured improvisation, with each performance building on the memory of the last while responding to its new site. Plainsong draws on the simple lines of plainchant, and takes as source material two paintings; The Water Carrier by Goya, and a grid-like abstract work by Juan Uslé, 'Soñé que revelabas (Inquieto), meaning 'I dreamed you were revealed'.
Duplicated Other : Film installation by Duets for Objects, Florence Peake & Sally Dean
A film and object installation extracted from a residency at the post-war junk museum, 'Elsewhere' in North Carolina. In collaboration with a family of ‘ghosts’, this work translates the traces of the immaterial through flesh, viscerality of site and the embodiment of objects.
