BRADFORD BAHAMAS
Rejoice with Bradford Bahamas !
Come celebrate with us as we toast the opening of the
21st Century. Everything's free, everything's a copy
and every copies just that little bit shi*ter than the
source. Look around. Text messages bootleg words,
hacking out the letters, til we're left with mystical
ciphers of cnsnnt grnts. We spend seconds downloading
hundreds of low resolution divX films recorded on a DV
camera from the back of a knackered cinema.
In the spirit of this bold new age, we will be
bootlegging vinyl live for YOU! Using our (patent
pending and top secret) Bradfonic resin casting system
we will be able to provide you with an appalling
quality, but nonetheless playable, slab of resin vinyl,
taken from a mould made from whatever record you might
chose to bring. Probably best not to bring anything too
rare, the Bahamscopic process hasn't damaged a source
record yet, but you never know.
It'll take about 15 minutes. Enough time for you to
play with our stuttering musical monitors and circuit
bent toys or, alternatively download 9 unreleased
barely recorded mutterings from Eminem to your Blackberry.

WHY DOESN'T OUR COUNTRY WORK ANYMORE?
John Harris, Freeman on the Land, who is in
Lawful Rebellion, will be sharing his experiences

Courts and the many Statutes and Acts in the UK,

facing today:

- Needless and mystifying taxation -
- Too many charges and fines from -
- Police, corporations and Councils -
- The rise of the 'Nanny State' -
John and many others in this Country have taken action
and now live in
Lawful Rebellion, peacefully hindering
the progress of the Government and he wants to share
their experiences with you.
The presentation will detail:

- The Court system -
- Lawful Rebellion -
- Questions and answers -
About John Harris, Freeman on the Land
John Harris is a mere carpenter by trade, but made
history in the legal system by being the first man in
the United Kingdom to create and send Lawful
Affidavits to the effect of denying governance and all
taxation by invoking 'Lawful Rebellion' under article
61 of the Magna Carta. What has followed is an
increasing level of support from men and women all
over the world who seek a wider perspective on the
current situation to live a better life. John is ready
to give people his formidable philosophy to those who
have decided, finally, that enough is enough.
To find out more information into lawful rebellion and
to learn the real truth about the history of this
Country, John will be talking on:
24th February 2009 at 8pm, doors open at 7.30pm

PANIC ROOM
An architectural installation within The Foundry,
Panic Room transforms the space with meticulous
constructions. Working with the geographical
specifics of this site, the piece enables the
viewer to interact both physically and visually
with the environment. Elements of sound, light and
smell are combined to form a sensory journey.
Viewing this work is an active experience; one
must move through and negotiate the space. Themes
of reality and perception are explored. We will
assess whether apprehensions informed by the
senses are more emotional than intellectual. The
collective comprises Joanne Chandler, Claire
Chapman, Laura Davies, Emma Doubell, Jonathan
Hardwick, Estefania Martinez, Matilda Power, Adam
Vass and Mark Walker students at Camberwell
College of Arts, University of the Arts London.

invited to sleep with strangers, make jewelry from
broken watches, hear Poetry from the amazing
Clarissa Pabi and Sian Robins-Grace, monologues
from Nari Blair Maganat, David Chrysanthou, plus
music from the Last Brothers of Krypton and

The video art of Alex Widdowson explores
transitional states of consciousness. His work
shows moments when the mind moves between
perception of the external world to an internal
landscape of imagination and thought. We find
ourselves in a land without terrain, where only
the processes of psyche exist.

JOHN TILSON
The installation is an arangement of three A1
landscape pieces called 'yin and yang with grey
scaling'. It is a visual display of man and nature
in antithesis and in harmony: with the garden as
the halfway house between artifice and what man is
born into.
The opening night (Wednesday the 22nd of April)
brings together the talents of film makers,
comedians, poets and musicians under the careful
tour guidance of a science-geek musician,
comedian-compare.
