THE WASHROOM WALL
The Washroom Wall is part of The Washroom Projects TWP. It
is a wall installation consisting of photos, drawings,
fragments of paintings, texts, video stills, bits of
posters, receipts etc. in
zip lock bags attached onto the wall.
A washroom wall is part of an intimate space that allows you
to leave your marks, your message to the public. It is a
space which can be used as a personal forum where people
communicate with each other in a very special way. The
collection of all sorts of images and texts brings hundreds
of languages, hundreds of opinions, hundreds of ideas to one
piece of work: The Washroom Wall.
Storing art in zip lock bags is keeping it clean,
untouchable and sterile. The observer cannot smell or touch
the work. There is a fine but strong line between the art
and the observer. There is no communication. It is the end
of art and the beginning of commercialism and trendism. The
Washroom Wall is my response to the current and rather
superficial world in which we only live to cause problems to
each other and escape into materialism and shopping.
The Washroom Collective is doing a spontanious
on-the-spot-performance during the opening.

SLOW SOUND SYSTEM
The slow sound system explores ambient listening,
new electronica and pixel manipulation.
This month we showcase new sounds from the Southern
hemisphere. John Chantler's delicate
electro-acoustic avant-guitar and laptop excursions
reach us from Brisbane, via rural Japan and Tulse
Hill. Fellow Oz expat Function aka Matt Nicholson
lays down mesmerizing psych-pop, microsonics and
deep, sleepy drones.
Resident djs iMax and Albert back up with digitals
and soundscaping, plus we have digital artworks and
flash workouts from Janek Ropinsky. Full details
follow.

ARTIST BIOS
John Chantler (Fat Cat / Room40 / Piehead / Hello
Square) (aus/uk) : non-place guitar, drums + laptop
excursions
John Chantler is an exciting talent. Resident of
Brisbane, rural Japan and now South London, John has
developed his sound from organic electronics to his
current interests in exploratory electro-acoustics,
messy guitars and a loose spin on rhythm.
John's acclaimed first album, Monoke was released on
Lawrence English's Room40 label in 2002. He's kept
busy since then, with a limited edition album on
Piehead, Locked in Hands, curating a series of 10"
vinyl for Room40, an online release for Fat Cat
(recorded with Japanese artists Saya, Takashi Ueno
and Koji Shibuya) and the beyond-underground
'Swedish Folksong Project'.
John's performed alongside Mum, Janek Schaefer, DJ
Olive, Ami Yoshida and Taku Sugimoto. Just back from
another Japanese trip, he also spins a mix of
psych-pop, electronica and krautrock at Waiting for
the Picture Bus, a bi-weekly session at Escape in
Herne Hill.
'Melody on hammered strings . robust and driven' THE
WIRE 'Monoke is the first in a series of essential
recordings' THE MILK FACTORY 'Intelligent and subtle
. maybe think Tortoise jamming with the Black Dog?'
SMALLFISH 'Nice slice of post-millennial
electronica' PITCHFORKMEDIA 'Utterly absorbing and
resonant work' FIRST PAST THE POST
------
Function / Matt Nicholson (Fat Cat / Hello Square /
Wonderground / Love & Mercy) (aus / uk) : mutant
pop, microsonics + sleepy drone
Function is Matt Nicholson and an ever-shifting set
of collaborators in London, Melbourne and spaces in
between. Function's sound is equally hard to pin
down, taking in ecstatic pop, microscopic soundwork,
slices of orchestral instrumentation and deep
Eastern drones. Key reference points include The
Books, Ekkehard Ehlers, Fennesz, Pluramon, Philip
Jeck, Sufjan Stevens, Susumu Yokota, Rafael Toral or
Town & Country.
Another busy artist - expect an online release for
FatCat very shortly - Matt has assembled 10 hours of
soundtracks for the sacred art suites of Advaitayana
Buddhist Master Adi Da . for us he will be
performing new material solo, including manipulated
improvisation of various acoustic sources and field
recordings culled from all over the globe. Expect
mesmerising, heartfelt, subtly orchestrated
electro-acoustic collage.
'One of this year's most intriguing releases . an
ambition to make something entirely new out of a
very tired form' THE DEEP END, ABC 'The finest album
to emerge from Australia this year. .this is
magical music, hot shit, serious, suffocating and
sparse, and aesthetically exquisite.' ADEQUACY.NET
'A stunning masterwork of intriguing musical
delights' MONO.NET 'A subtle eclectic expansive
epic' SCENE

CIRCLE OF SOUND
a Sound Art Exhibition
Circle of Sound focuses on Recycled sound: bringing
together found sounds, sonic artefacts and reworked
and recontextualised art works. The exhibition
simultaneously celebrates the fleeting and
fragmentary effects of sound while exploring the
unfolding processes of signification within a sonic
culture that has for too long been subservient to
visual-centred art discourse.
Curated by Magz Hall and Jim Backhouse
Featuring
Jim Backhouse - Telepalepatelepalepalepathy
Disinformation - Theopany + Rorschah Audio
Iris Garrelfs - Dumplinks
Sharon Gal and Moshi Honen - The Solipsist
Magz Hall - Brighton Rocks + Fear of Death
Kaffe Mathews - Red Chair
Tracey Moberly (nee Sanders-Wood) - Francis Theakston (1933)
Jason Synott - Hearing Aid Radio
Dan Wilson - Phase Violations Upon Boxful of Disappointment
DJ Wrongspeed - 'I love you'
All the artists in this exhibition produce
programmes as volunteers on London's community arts
radio station, Resonance 104.4 FM, which celebrates
its third year on air 1st May 2005.

FRANKO B and
DJ WEAVE
Franko B has recently been DJ-ing at gigs in Milan
and around London. He hosts an irregular club night
called MIX UP at the Great Eastern Hotel, in London's
East End. He plays electro, / tecno beat
franko b will be playng with very special guest
DJ Weave on the 12 may 2005 from 7 pm to 11pm
Franko B is best known as a performance artist but has
also been developing a body of work that includes
painting and sculpture. His performance work deals
with the vulnerability of the human body and the
beauty that is bound up with its inner frailty. Using
the detritus of society, his sculpture is based on a
different, external, relationship with the world.
Always using found objects, Franko B's sculpture is
personalised either with his own blood or with paint,
establishing relationships in the work that create a
non-specific narrative.
Franko B was born in Milan and has lived in London
since1979. He has been creating work across video,
photography, performance, painting, installation,
sculpture and mixed media since 1990. He has performed
at Tate Modern, the ICA, South London Gallery and
Beaconsfield. He has presented work internationally,
including in Zagreb, Mexico City, Milan, Amsterdam,
Antwerp, Copenhagen, Madrid and Vienna, and most
recently at London's Great Eastern Hotel, and Tate
Liverpool . Franko B lectures widely, including at
DasArt, New York University and the Courtauld
Institute of Art. He has been the subject of two
monographs, Franko B (Black Dog Publishing 1998) and
Oh Lover Boy (2001) and has published a photographic
project entitled Still Life (2003).
