‘And No Animal Is Without Enemy’ @ Cubitt Gallery, Mar 31

29 March 2016

London-based writer Megan Nolan has programmed an evening of performances and readings, ‘And No Animal is Without Enemy’ at Cubitt Gallery on March 31.

The night will host the work of five London-based artists and writers, Linda Stupart, Penny Goring, Rachel Benson, Eoghan Ryan and Nolan herself, who each bridge the gap between making, performance and poetry across the city’s contemporary (art) life and its conversation, online and off, and occasionally together.

The work to be read and performed in And No Animal is Without Enemy will relate to the premise Nolan has set for the event, which lies close to the work and writings of psychiatrist R. D. Laing, who advocated for understanding the experience of psychosis as valid and actual feelings and descriptions of life, rather than symptoms.

Nolan writes for the press release: this “is a site for the unravelling of assumed positions; to question what the self can mean to a disembodied subject; what it means to claim the first person; what it means to refuse the belief that you are alive.”

Linda Stupart @ Arcadia Missa, Feb 26 – Mar 8

25 February 2016

Linda Stupart is opening solo exhibition A dead writer exists in words and language is a type of virus. at London’s Arcadia Missa, opening February 26 and running to March 8.

The show accompanies and expands on the London-based artist and writer’s novella Virus, also published by Arcadia Missa, and follows the Stupart’s concerns with gender, language mutation and abjection in a “virulent and embodied critique of sexism and structural violence in art and artworlds.”

The exhibition announcement runs along a text that vividly evokes bodily analogies for exclusionary discourse and dominant historical narratives: “The same words again and again wearing out their throat their blood their muscles knotting, stomach filled with black oil, fingers tapping on the seat of every lecture theatre.”

See the Arcadia Missa website for details.**
