Alpha-ville returns with a special edition of its LIVE series featuring for the first time in London the emotionally intense multimedia creations of award-winning Montreal-based artist Herman Kolgen. On Sunday 18th May, Alpha-ville LIVE presents a double bill programme with Kolgen’s most impressive audiovisual performances Inject and Dust at Kings Place, London.
Inspired by 1920 Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray’s photography Elevate de Poussiere, Dust explores the changes in the state of matter. At the edge of the imperceptible, pigments are suspended around a magnetic field, random fibrous networks take shape and then form composite objects, hypnotic in their complexity. Sound particles paired with luminous aggregates exist on a scale that cancels out all points of reference.
Inject is a visual masterpiece in high definition awarded with the honorary mention at Prix Art Electronica 2010. In Inject, Herman Kolgen illustrates a loss of touch with reality, and the strange disconnection between the physical and emotional states of being.
Venue: Hall 1, Kings Place, London. Date: Sunday 18th May 2014. Programme: Double Bill Programme with Inject and Dust (Live audiovisual performances). Tickets are available online at Kings Place website
Savers: £9.50/Online price: £14.50
This event is kindly supported by the Québec Government Office, London and the Canada Council for the Arts.
