The Magazine Sessions

Karl Holmqvist @ Serpentine Sackler Gallery, Mar 21

21 March 2016

Artist Karl Holmqvist will present a new work PPPPJJHAAARRRRVEY for the second in the series of The Magazine Sessions, which are being held throughout 2016 at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery, on March 21.

The work will include collaborative input from Berlin-based AA Bronson, who appeared in conversation with Emily Pethick last year, will perform Artemesia for my Great Grandfather, previously hosted at Salzburger Kunstverein.

Others involved in PPPPJJHAAARRRRVEY —the title of which is like an expression of gratitude or something (this remains to be seen on the evening) towards the British musician, PJ Harvey —is fashion designer Nhu Duong, who has shown work as collaborative duo TROI OI, and Reykjavík-born Mundi Vondi, and artist Klara Lidén amongst others.

The majority of the co-presenters are Berlin-based, a nod to the collaborative energy and emphasis in both Holmqvist and AA Bronson’s practices.

Tickets to this Session include a late-night viewing of the exhibition DAS INSTITUT at the Sackler Gallery, while Holmqvist has devised a vegan menu especially for the evening.

A Woodland Truce @ Serpentine Sackler Gallery, Feb 15

15 February 2016

Artist Matt Copson will present new work A Woodland Truce at London’s Serpentine Sackler Gallery on February 15.

Copson inaugurates the new experimental and immersive event series at the Sackler Gallery The Magazine Sessions with his work.

A Woodland Truce is a play without actors, a scene with deer, lighting, live and pre-recorded elements and a fox called Reynard, who regularly features in Copson’s practice. The press release tells that the animals and elements come together in the woods, discuss their biological conditioning and try and undermine it.

The music for the event is composed by London-based producer Felicita, and choir Musarc will be performing live vocals, accompanied by Marcus Nasty.

See the Serpentine Gallery webpage for more information.**
