Usurp Art Gallery & Studios
140 Vaughan Road, London HA1 4EB

11 October 7-10pm

A night of performance, film and kinetic art to dazzle the senses!
Linnet Watson brings her 'sighted theatre' - a theatrical female performance, Laura O'Neill presents 'Itch', an object playfully reflecting on the time between the static and kinetic, and Lara Kenworthy presents a new performance piece. Katy O'Donovan will be screening a work from her video series 'Coated', which juxtaposes objects in ways and questions what works and what doesn't.

18 October 7-10pm

A night of performance, animation and coin operated uproar!
Tonight, Louise Ginsberg explores the line between nature and nurture in her performance 'tongue/land/hood Mother'. Linda Nagajeva extends herself in which time, body and memory transforms into a fluidity suggesting that where we are moving from and to is more like a vision than a sight - ever changing and not solid. Samuel Leonard and Christina Clark's animations 'Clothed Inhibitions' and 'Heartless Home' featuring streakers and balloons explore touch and feeling and we are invited to peer into 'Alice Turner's Peculiar Peep-o-scopes'.
