Hull Art Lab's events for Humber Mouth - The Hull Literature Festival 19th to 29th June 2005

Next Page

Hull Art Lab offers the other, the incredible, the spanner in the oyster, more a hair in the mouth than the floppy fringe. Utterance is an illiteral take on literature, whether static, silent, live or audible. The sound of language and the appearance of words: exhibited, screened, performed, and played.

Sunday 19th June - Monday 4th July - Megan Bedell Exhibition 1pm - 5pm Hull Art Lab, 53 Humber Street, Hull. Megan Bedell is an artist based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Her work plays with language and symbols, (re-)presenting phrases and words in pictorial or three-dimensional form. For Utterance she will be cleaning dirty words.

Saturday 18th June - Sunday 3rd July - Do(n't) - John Wynne Two Short Films BBC Big Screen, Queen Victoria Square, Hull

Don(t) was originally an installation based on auditory warnings and visual text for the European Group for Organisational Studies in Barcelona in 2002 and subsequently for the online journal Ephemera. His first work with auditory warnings was for 25 speakers hidden under Copenhagen's main square: it was banned by the city council for allegedly frightening and confusing the public.

Saturday 18th June - Z Said - Silvia Ziranek Performance 6pm Hull Art Lab, 53 Humber Street, Hull VENI, VIDI, VOCAB'D; I CAME, I SAW, I CONJUGATED: I THINK IN WORDS, I WORK IN VERBS, I SEW INFINITIVES (97%).

TO DO IS TO BE, SO I WAS. THEN I HAD. NOW I AM, AGAIN. OH BONJOUR OFFSPRING ( A LIFE WITH A DOOR IS A DOUBLY ATTRACTIVE FEATURE). AGAIN: I WROUGHT, I WIPE, I SHALL TYPE - NOT CAST. WITH SEASONING. (c) SCZ 2005. NOR IRON. I'D NEVER DECLINE A DECLENSION.

Wednesday 22nd June - Stories In Sound - Maggie Nichols Performance 6pm Hull Art Lab, 53 Humber Street, Hull Every sound can tell a story and the human voice is the first instrument of story telling. I open to the muse and improvise.

Fragments of meaning interact with apparent non-sense. Each listener may hear their own stories; some may seem crystal clear, others abstract even subliminal. We may even connect to the same story. I don't know myself what the muse may tell. Every time it is an act of faith; in myself, the listeners, the environment and each unfolding moment. Spontaneous music making is the joyous challenge of daring to be as free as one can trust oneself to be. Creativity as a birthright is the main story I tell. Practicing creative freedom is the way I tell it.
