Wysing Arts Centre explores the legacy of psychedelia in this year’s annual music event.
Psychedelia is the focus for this day-long event that includes live music, talks, performances, and screenings exploring utopian futures, mind expansion and alternative models for living.
Musically the event avoids a retrospective interpretation of the psychedelia theme and focuses on a forward-looking and wide-ranging line-up of electronic and hypnotic, improvised and immersive music. The spectrum of live music performed on the day includes electronic music, noise, dubstep, current psych-influenced hypnotic guitar music and minimalist composition.
The line-up includes Alexander Tucker, Ashtray Navigations, Astral Social Club, BK and Dad, Dead Rat Orchestra, Demdike Stare, Design A Wave, Devilman (DJ Scotch Egg, Dokkebi Q, Taigen of Bo Ningen), Diagonal, Disinformation, The Doozer, English Heretic, Invisible Polytechnic Orchestra, Man from Uranus, Nochexxx, Old Apparatus, Pete Um, Please, Preslav Literary School, Raagnagrok Allstars, Transept, Simon Scott (ex Slowdive), 666 6 (Artists Phil Root and E Park), Time, and DJ sets from Marcus Scott (Hyperdub), Tom Hyena (B-Music), Bad Timing DJs, Club Hot Zeus psychedelic power karaoke/DJs, and artists Andy Holden & Ed Atkins.
Information on some of the acts performing is HERE.
A new architectural commission by artist Giles Round will form one of the stages. The structure is a reinterpretation of Ken Isaacs’ nomadic architecture taken from his counter-cultural book How To Build Your Own Living Structures (1974).

A thematic book including a.o. numerous color views of the exhibitions Idealismusstudio and Die Blaue Blume (the latter counted among the “Best themed Shows 2007” in frieze magazine, 2008). Both projects took place at the Grazer Kunstverein.
They form the point of crystallization around a question which the book’s title describes metaphorically with the image of the symbolic commissioner. The expression refers to the utopia of the New Man, which various avant-gardes from art, dance and architecture declared both the client and the aim of their artistic production at the beginning of the 20th century. This client is a symbolic one, because his actual identity remains ambivalent. Houses and carpets, wallpapers and suits, new cities and chairs were designed for him. Yet the figure has remained a utopian one, flaring-up only for brief moments and as a fragmentary manifestation from the productions of the artists. Its outlines are and remain the subject of permanent negotiation and speculation – a projection surface.
Appreciation for and fascination with many of these preceding experiments, modern in terms of both aesthetics and social politics, but also the complex circumstances of their various disenchantments are the starting points for the artworks and texts and exhibitions published in this book. Turning this around, the question they have in common is this: What possibilities for agency might be gained from newly engaging in an exploration of art as model and its contradictions in contemporary social space? But also: How can the subsequently arising, fundamental doubts about the concept of art as model divest it of its totality, its template-like existence? Because of the troubled history of the 20th century, it is quite right that we have lost the claim of being able to reduce things to one aspect, one perspective or one system. Yet how can utopian thinking still become part of the production of society in today’s culture despite this – or specifically because of – this history?

Inhabiting any new premises requires its potential occupant to conduct a survey and inspection of the building to test its condition and value. For an artist-led space, this survey involves more than an assessment of bricks and mortar, it has to be tested in other ways. To mark the inauguration of its new premises and the occasion of its 15 year anniversary, S1 Artspace has invited over 30 artists to survey its new space, to test it out according to the criteria of their specific practices.
The exhibiting artists have already played a key part in S1’s history, they include previous and current studio holders as well as artists who have contributed towards S1’s programme over the last 15 years. The exhibition attempts to address the notion of the survey show: it is not an occasion of looking backwards, a retrospective survey that simply attempts to celebrate what has already been. Rather, the exhibition itself is presented a s a testing space, where selected artists have been invited (back) based on their capacity to both reflect and test out key concerns and issues considered intrinsic to S1’s programming (past, present and future).
Some works act as support structures for presenting the work of other artists, elsewhere collaborative approaches are made more central, where the line between individual and collective practice is wilfully blurred. The critical concerns of the exhibition (and issues relating to artist-led activity more broadly) will be further addressed through a series of talks, panel discussions and events, collectively entitled S1 Assembly. Together the exhibition and events programme operate both as a survey of S1’s (past) activity and for surveying its new premise s and the potential therein; where the past is drawn upon as a way to test the conditions of the present, as a point of provocation against which to develop and debate possibilities for future action.
FIFTEEN is curated by Louise Hutchinson and George Henry Longly.
