High anxiety: Collapse - Riverside Studios

Image
It’s a brave or maybe slightly provocative production to use Hammersmith Bridge on their artwork for a show called Collapse, which is about how everything collapses—poorly maintained bridges, relationships, and jobs. Nothing works. That’s probably too close to home for Hammersmith residents stuck with a magnificently listed and useless bridge on their front door. It gets even weirder when you realise the piece is staged in what looks like a meeting room with a bar. However, keeping things together in the most unlikely of circumstances is at the heart of Allison Moore's witty and engaging four-hander, which is currently having a limited engagement at Riverside Studios . The piece opens with Hannah (Emma Haines) about to get an injection from her husband (Keenan Heinzelmann). They’re struggling for a baby, and he’s struggling to get out of bed.

Previews: Posters, pens and headphones @theotherartfair


Non Zero One are presenting a work at The Other Art Fair from 15th – 18th October.  They will be performing  Untitled (audio with pen) which is an audio-based piece.

Participants are told nothing of what they are going to do. Instead are asked when queuing for the fair whether they are curious...

They are then drawn slowly in, until it is too late to turn back, having to continually question how far they want to involve themselves and being encouraged to go beyond the traditional weird stuff set for both theatre and art fairs.

Anyway the Other Art Fair is celebrating its tenth edition this year and it will also be welcoming back Tracey Emin as a guest artist. Emin International will be launching two new limited edition prints (50 each) along with an exclusive poster (500 of them) available for £50, offering anyone the chance to own something and get it hand signed by the artist. One suspects crowd control and mass hysteria might also be part of the artistic experience there.

There will be 130 artists from around the world represented at the fair and it runs from 15-18 October at the Old Truman Brewery.
