Curated by Torque (Nathan Jones and Sam Skinner)

Date: Open Saturdays and Sundays 11am – 6pm, 11 - 19 April 2015.
Venue: Furtherfield Gallery, McKenzie Pavilion.

Torque is a transdisciplinary project by artists Nathan Jones and Sam
Skinner, that explores the twisting of mind, language and technology,
through publications, symposia, performance, workshops and installation.

At Furtherfield, each of the three gallery spaces will be transformed into
a three-dimensional manifestation and archive of the three publications and
public research Torque have produced to date. The gallery will become a
hypermedia reading room and examination of both reading and the Torque
project itself, giving members of the public a deep and varying view of the
pressures impacting our relationship to language, and in particular –
reading – as it occurs today.

Live readings from performance artist Tim Etchells (11th April) and artist
writer Claire Potter, with virtual appearance by Mez Breeze (18th April).

A sound work on the exterior of the gallery featuring ‘Mind Twist’ by
Dennis Oppenheim, ‘Rotate’ by cellist Oliver Coates, and readings produced
over the weekend by visitors to the gallery.

Experimental text works from Anna Barham, Mez Breeze, Erica Scourti, and
Imogen Stidworthy.

A new text-based cgi video artwork by Chris Boyd.

Karl Heinz Jeron’s opera singing robot Sim Gishel.

Video and text works by Torque producers Nathan Jones and Sam Skinner.
