As part of the upcoming exhibition, Las Gemelas (A Lexicon of Unmaking), John Hansard Gallery is seeking Expressions of Interest from local people to take part in enacting Ashokkumar D Mistry's sculpture A Banquet of Tables (For a Feast for Los Niños).
A Banquet of Tables (For a Feast for Los Niños) is constructed of several tables 'sewn' together with rope. The artist invites local residents to take part in a communal performance that extends the sculpture by sewing tables together. The stitching will transform the tables into musical instruments and will be played in the Txalapatra tradition-a Basque xylophone-inspired musical style.
Participation will involve 7.5 hours of your time on the following dates:
• Thursday 17 Oct: 3 hour introduction and first workshop with Ashok Mistry (1-4pm)
• Thursday 24 Oct: 3 hour and second workshop with Ashok Mistry (1-4pm)
• Sat 9 November: 1 hour performance to the public (3-4pm / arrival at 2.30pm)
This is a paid opportunity with an honorarium of per participant £150 plus travel expenses. Suitable for people aged 18+ and no prior experience necessary.
Please write a brief description of why you would like to take part and include your name and contact details and send to nadia@jhg.art by Monday 14 October.
