Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
If you are in the UK/London this evening, and feel all washed out
from the rain, fed up with damp Bonfires and the strange tradition
of burning an effigy of Guy Fawkes.<br>
<br>
Guy Fawkes Night originates from the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, a
failed conspiracy by a group of provincial English Catholics to
assassinate the Protestant King James I of England and replace him
with a Catholic head of state. The survival of the king was first
celebrated on 5 November 1605, after Guy Fawkes, left in charge of
the gunpowder placed underneath the House of Lords, was discovered
and arrested.<br>
<br>
So instead, come & share the evening with others at
Furtherfield's HTTP Space & Gallery.<br>
<br>
Private view tonight 6.30 pm - 9pm<br>
Friday Nov 5th<br>

<br>
European activist group IOCOSE premiere their film 'In The Long Run'
tonight.<br>
<br>
Although we live in a celebrity driven culture it is not widely
known that major news networks such as the BBC, Fox and Sky prepare
obituaries about famous people to put on air in the event of an
unexpected death.<br>
<br>
Criticising the media’s obsession with celebrity an art collective
named IOCOSE will be screening their film In the Long Run (2010) at
HTTP gallery north London, plus two other works not exhibited in the
UK until now. <br>
<br>
The 20 minute film is a reconstruction of a possible future high
profile media event. The death of pop star Madonna is described in a
BBC News special edition, with a journalist and studio guest who go
over the details of the fatal car accident, the statements of the
VIPs and the reactions of fans around the world.<br>
