‘Blend the Acclaim of your Chant with the Timbrels’ @ Jerwood Space, Jul 12

11 July 2016

The ‘Blend the Acclaim of your Chant with the Timbrels’ group event, curated by George Vasey, is on at London’s Jerwood Space on July 12.

Featuring performances, screenings and stories told by Abri de Swardt, Anneke Kampman, Quentin Lannes, Beth Kettel, Shona Macnaughton and Josh Wilson. ‘Blend the Acclaim of your Chant’ is a part of Jerwood Staging Series, a wider effort to contextualise and present several event-based exhibitions by emerging artists.

Ranging from a video piece that explores the disembodied characters in the world of virtual boxing by Lannes, (‘The Next Round’ (2016)), to a cumulative performance of “the perfect school girl” by Macnaughton and De Swardt’s new film, ‘Ridder Thirst’ —incorporating a dense narrative lapsing between English and Afrikaans— the event seems to present itself things that layer.

See the Jerwood website for more details.**
