Late at Tate St Ives
FIELDCLUB
25 November 2011
18.00 -- 21.30
Free entry
Tate St Ives presents 'FIELDCLUB & Friends', an evening of art, film and
live music organised by the Cornwall-based collective FIELDCLUB. This
event is realised within the framework of Late at Tate, an experimental
programme taking place the last Friday of each month. 'FIELDCLUB &
Friends' features a series of projects that occupy different spaces
across the gallery*.*
The event includes an introduction to FIELDCLUB's practice and premieres
the work /FieldMachine 1.0 (Interactive Meaty Master: Self-Sufficiency
Calculator Table)/. This project is an interactive webtool that enables
visitors to design their desired diet in a self-sufficient UK and
discover the effects this scheme could have on the land across St Ives.
They also showcase /24hr FIELDCLUB Wildlife Museum/, an ongoing
collection of archaeological artefacts found during farming activities
at FIELDCLUB.
The event also features themed contributions by other artists.
Multimedia artist Nigel Ayers, will perform a live psycho-acoustic set
to accompany his new work 'Compost' -- a forty minute digital animation
that visually isolates biotic elements of a compost heap and subjects
them to crypto-zoological distortion.
There will be screenings of recent films by Adi Gelbart, James Kelly,
and Pil and Galia Kollectiv. These works explore a sinister future where
the earth is overrun with mutant alien vegetables, the absurdity and
insignificance of human interaction with land, and the futility of the
modernist utopian project. In addition, musical collective The Busk Stop
Crew plays a lively session of traditional tunes at a barn party in the
Café.
Led by artist Paul Chaney, FIELDCLUB develops collaborative projects
that address issues relating to off-grid living and self-sufficiency.
Often involving other artists, scientists and philosophers, these
initiatives take the form of artistic research and the organisation of
seminars and events. At the core of FIELDCLUB's practice is a system of
low-impact provision that creates autonomous 'units' intended to satisfy
the basic needs of individuals in a UK without imports. Over the last
few years, FIELDCLUB has put this theory into practice by establishing
an experimental 'unit' in Cornwall.
