TUESDAY 28 JULY 09 new art in the vaults NICHOLA LE SEUER new art in the library BRADFORD BAHAMAS Come celebrate the golden age of piracy with us as we toast the opening of the 21st Century. Everything's free, everything's a copy and every copies just that bit shi*ter than the source. Look around, text messages, bootleg words, hacking out the letters til were 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 EMIrecordings.com physically bootleg vinyl at live events, for YOU! Using our (patent pending and top secret) "Bradfonic" resin casting system we are able to provide you with an appalling quality, but nonetheless a playable slab of resin vinyl. By pouring fast setting resin directly onto whatever record you might choose to bring, a bootleg which happens to play backwards i.e. from the inside out will be provided. EMIrecordings.com are yet to destroy a record however it is advised to bring a not so precious record by 8.30pm. The process will take about 50 minutes which gives you enough time to tinker with various sonic devices provided by "Bradford Bahamas". 090729.emlog2.jpg

Although they look like something you might stumble upon in a back room in Persia 1946, they have actually just flown from their fourth concert and are a breath of fresh squawks in these days of formatted music. 090731.gaggle1.640.jpg

Free entry Highpoint Lowlife records and the slow sound system take over upstairs at the Foundry this Saturday. On offer: future garage and bass explorations from the anonymous and hotly-tipped Spatial (infrasonics), plus jazz, Middle Eastern modes, electro-accoustics and ambient minimalism from John Farah (Dross:tik), worked out in real time on the Foundry's grand piano. HPLL and slow sound system DJs fill in the gaps. http://www.highpointlowlife.com http://www.slowoundsystem.net ------------------------------ ABOUT THE ARTISTS ------------------------------ ------- SPATIAL 'Exceptional post-Burial/future-garage productions ... '80207' is an absolutely killer slice of crisp and spacious garage dub progressions, sounding like the perfect union of Andy Stott's techno dub fixation crossbred with Burial's swung patterns and 2562's chrome plated production gloss, but adds old skool rave strafes and some cybotronic mechanics of his own for a truly shocking cut. The flipside numbered '70810' rewrites the formula even further. Starting with a El-B fashioned rhythmic framework, Spatial reinforces the rhythm with slashing brushstrokes to remove any unneccessary beats, and douses the whole thing with a ghostly atmosphere reminiscent of Burial or Andy Stott's finest. It's either the end of a vintage year for garage futurisms or the start of a very promising 2009, either way, this is just awesome.' Boomkat http://www.infrasonics.net http://www.last.fm/music/Spatial -------------------------------- JOHN KAMEEL FARAH Free improvisation, jazz, electro-acoustics, Middle Eastern modes and ambient minimalism mixed up with drum&bass and techno. Halfway between the concert hall and the decks ... John Kameel Farah is a Toronto-based composer, pianist, electronic musician and visual artist. He studied composition and piano performance at the University of Toronto. In 1999 he studied privately with Terry Riley in California. Farah performs regularly in Toronto, and has performed his music at festivals and venues across Europe, USA, Canada, the Middle-East, South Korea and Mexico. In 1999 and 2002, he visited the Edward Said National Conservatory in the West Bank, giving performances and masterclasses in Ramallah, East Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Toronto's NOW Magazine distinguished him as its Best Pianist of 2006. In 2007 he was the visual artist in residence at the Trane Studio in Toronto. 'His work speaks of the ancient past and unperceivable future, the micro and the macro, antibodies and heavenly bodies and astral bodies...'

TUESDAY 04 AUGUST 09 new art on the bar wall HATTIE MURRAY new art in the library SHESH 090804.shesh-cowboy-repeat-2.jpg From music to fashion to visual arts, shesh spreads his message fusing and flipping several mediums including music, fashion and visual arts.? Taking inspiration from a wide variety or sources such as 1950s & 60s advertising, musical imagery, iconography & celebrity and comic book culture, the work examines the links between fashion, advertising, and urban graffiti art, all striving to be get fame with a view to being ubiquitous. In questioning and subverting the idea of fashion and branding, the work itself becomes the very subject matter it references. "Basically I like writing my name loads of times..." new art on the far wall JENNIFER NEW PAINTINGS (until 16 August) 090808.House-of-Jouis-Muitton-Close-up.jpg Intrigued by the glossy and alluring nature of high fashion and beauty advertising, and by society's embrace of this unattainableEideal, I respond with a series of paintings inspired by these images. I simultaneously build and deconstruct these icons of perfection through the layering of paint, using the original photograph as the starting point, but deviating from it with abandon. While some details from the photograph are emulated, most others dissolve into chaotic and bold abstraction. My paintings are a journey away from the illusion of perfection, allowing the viewer to see what's not supposed to be seen. http://www.jenniferlouise.weebly.com opening night Thursday 6 August
