AUTUMN EQUINOX
Art on the Side of Life
For a week starting Tuesday 22nd September, the
Vault is a base for Equinox celebrations.
Expect to witness revival of the ancient
Babylonian clock and calendar as a contribution to
the critique of the concept of linear time and the
culture of death that it epitomises.
Whether by design or if the wind just kind of
blows you here, come and share this most
egalitarian of global moments within the Seasonal
Spiral, centred on the appearance of the defeat of
light by darkness.

ELIZABETH HEPWORTH // Art Slave
Witness the growth of a blank canvas. Watch the
paint spread outwards in front of your eyes,
leaking outside the confines of the canvas onto
the walls of the Foundry and wherever it may run
to over 6 days. Painting is alive.
Elizabeth Hepworth // Art Slave is a contemporary
painter on a mission to revolutionise the medium
of paint in both her performance art and visual
works. Her notorious Live Action Painting, the
exploratory merger of adrenalin-fuelled energy and
paint, has been electrifying audiences at venues
from Olympia Exhibition Centre to the Tate
Britain. Fast, hard hitting, dripping with teen
spirit and spontaneity; the artist and the art
melt together before the spectator. Hepworth's
visuals and paintings continue to exhibit a lust
for change in the direction of modern visual art.

NICHOL KEENE
An exhibition of words, live poetry and language experiments.
Nichol Keene is an artist and poet from east London.
Her spoken word poems are, as she describes, 'lyrical
spew' from her everyday life. In exposing her fears,
hates, loves and experiences she is unflinchingly
honest. Her interest in poetry is based on an
involuntary obsession with language and its placement
to create communication. She explores the idea that
randomly placed letters can form words and words can
form sentences and sentences can communicate. May it
be randomly picking words out of the dictionary or
reorganising text or writing out of frustration her
words always seem to fit just right.

opening night for Elizabeth and Nichol is on

A PLACE LIKE HOME
'A Place Like Home' brings together the work of
three photographers who make work about memory and
home. Ewa Bialek's 'In Between' explores the
familiarity that she lost with her Polish homeland
whilst living in London. Ewa photographs spaces of
her past, which have become unfamiliar, leaving the
artist with a sense of loss. Similarly, a quest
for a place to belong is pictured Carolyn Lefley's
work 'Belonging'. Set within the make-believe
world of the dark and somehow uncanny bedrooms of a
doll's house, Carolyn's empty and neglected
miniatures groan with implicit memories and a sense
of longing for home. Mark Denton shows his new
work, 'Domestic'.

new film on the video screens
GAY
'
'
Stuart Alexander
I made these films in the early mornings over the
last year with a hidden camera and without the
subject's knowing or consent. Some films were made
by chance depending on a suitable person choosing
to sit opposite me and how they chose to sit and
some were the result of where I chose to sit based
on the same dependant factors. All films were made
on the London underground exclusively on the
Northern Line between Archway and Tufnell Park.
As the subjects are faceless it makes it easier
for the audience to relate to them leading to the
question, does the male audience relate and feel
uncomfortable at me speculatively putting them
into this context of "prey" or object of
homosexual desire? Are they offended? Do they now
question their own sexuality? Or my morality? Or
both? Does being forced into staring at the
crotches of other men make them feel
uncomfortable? If so why?
From a woman's perspective, does a female viewer
feel uncomfortable being forced to look? Do they
feel more comfortable in doing so as it does not
offend their machismo pride? Or more uncomfortable
because women are not used to being so predatory?
Because they're used to being submissive to men,
whereas most men are not?
Does the audience feel as though they will be
judged by those around them (the other viewers)
for watching these films? Or does the fact that
they are watching the films with others reassure
them, like Sartre's bad faith? The film makes men
powerless, like they make the viewer powerless as
it forces both into a situation where they are to
be judged and to feel uncomfortable.

Investigating negativity in perception of the artist
"for the record, in the view of the department and the University's
senior officers, your behaviour in the period leading-up to this
deadline, have been vexatious, disproportionate and persistently
unreasonable. Your actions have caused upset and distress to a number of
colleagues whose efforts to afford a professional service were
repeatedly met with discourteous rejection and/or belligerent
obfuscation. At times your manner was intimidating."

THE ATROCITY ORGANIZATION
JG Ballard & the Technologies of Psychopathology Management
A kind of waiting madness, like a state of undeclared
war, haunted the office buildings of the business
park. Đ J.G. Ballard, Super-Cannes
As a novelist and fiction SF writer, JG Ballard
developed one of the most dynamic (and disturbing)
exploration of collective psychopathology, excesses
in organizational life, and the collapsing of the
Western imaginary. From the fetish of the car crash
to obscene hidden violence of the business park,
internment camps to masochist fantasies directed
through the mediated form of Ronald ReaganŐs body,
BallardŐs work ventures into territories that are
disconcerting to explore, but from which one can
learn a great deal. Rather than assuming that
disorder and excess is a condition that management
and organization must respond to, this event will
explore the proposition that what might really be
psychopathological is the desire to impose order upon
an inherently ungovernable and excessive condition.
