REVERB is entering the lead-out groove..., our project on pop culture, the agency of souvenirs and ephemera is coming tp a close. First, there's a nice night in the offing at the Laurel and Hardy next week...we will be presenting a video compilation of animation, performance excerpts, new music, video and images from the project, including John Rennie's video piece from the Dock Museum show and Jim Alexanders "Song Of David" animation and the marvellous Artfly Jukebox, a kind of audio documentary in a beautifully crafted format. We'll be previewing the new lathe-cut 45s from me and Shaun, Alex's pop tribe sculptures and the video versh of Ellie's Dance Flipbook, using video we shot with five Afghan lads last year in Barrow. There should be a book available too, on pop, its products and place, and oooh, allsorts.
Admission is by a donation to the Ulverston Food project, doors open at 7 so you can sample the museums excellent bar, and we'll be down at about 9 so we can come to the Hope.
There'll be another event in Barrow next month, and then we will be following up the responses and spinoffs.....I had a piece in the Radiophrenia festival last year, Shaun's tape release "The Keening" has had an excellent review in Wire mag, and we had an enquiry from the National Museum of Youth Culture about Alex's work and the project in general.
Come and see us on thursday.
