{"product_id":"opening-night","title":"Opening Night","description":"The opening night begins with a screening of \u003cem\u003eThe Black Tower (1985-7)\u003c\/em\u003e by John Smith, whose structural approach to filmmaking invites the viewer to question what is being presented to them both onscreen and across culture at large. Following the original film, artist and software engineer Daniel Jones presents a reedited version, created with a piece of code that reorders the film’s frames from dark to light, then back again. Playing silently and continuously over the course of the evening, it provides a backdrop for performers to enact an invocation for the project space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBerlin-based Katarina Hruskova reads a site-specific text that focuses on the metamorphic architecture of \u003cem\u003eThe Black Tower\u003c\/em\u003e, whilst Rachael Finney’s performance utilises the voice in a more textural capacity - drawing upon its materiality and embodiment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePatrick Goddard performs \u003cem\u003eNo Ironic Tip of the Hat to Class Consciousness Can Save Us Now!,\u003c\/em\u003e a work of contradiction that grapples with the artist’s implication in the changing topology of London. Molly Palmer’s \u003cem\u003eGas Pipes'\u003c\/em\u003elooks inward towards the places we carry inside ourselves - a suggestion of anatomical topography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMusician and founding member of This Heat, Charles Hayward, performs two works in response to the conditions of the project space, \u003cem\u003eSlow Train \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003e30 Minute Snare Drum Roll\u003c\/em\u003e. Forming an acoustic drone over the course of this meticulously observed time frame, Hayward will end the night using a technique that builds anticipation for what is yet to come.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Black Tower Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52115770343671,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/5960\/5751\/files\/BlackTowerProjects_OpeningNight_installation.jpg?v=1794187331","url":"https:\/\/shopvalnora.shop\/products\/opening-night","provider":"Norchester","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
