Word of Warning...
It will come as no surprise to most of you to hear that tomorrow (Saturday 4 October at Z-arts) is the fifteenth annual Emergency.
While half of you calculate just how ancient that must make me - other
relevant factoids are that, being us, as usual we're doing in one day,
what our peers do in a week and there are 50 people participating in 29
pieces and the youngest artist was just 5 when Emergency started...
The micro-marathon runs from 12midday til about 10pm and falls into roughly three sessions - Lunchtime (12-3.0o), Afternoon (3-5.30), Evening (5.30-10pm). The first two take the form of a live exhibition of some 21 gallery-type works plus durationals and one to ones, with the Afternoon being more adult in content. The Evening is a quick gambol through 8 short theatre-type shows. The full list of artists is below - and, overall, we can promise some silliness, some seriousness, some DIY trumpeting and quite a lot of nakedness... and it's all FREE!
If I haven't sold you on Emergency, elsewhere you can catch - Daniel Bye's The Nine O'clock News tonight, Fri 3 Oct at the Storey Institute in Lancaster), Chanje Kunda's Amsterdam on Fri 3 + Sat 4 Oct at Contact, Space Life at Manchester Central Library and, down in the Midlands, Fierce Festival (continuing til 12 October).
In the week ahead, Weds 8 Oct sees Axis Arts Centre, Crewe host Victoria Melody's Major Tom and
Tales of Whatever is back at Gullivers in Manchester. Up in Lancaster, Live at LICA premiers Imitating The Dog's A Farewell to Arms at the Dukes (running 10-25 October), whilst over in Sheffield, there's a new one-to-one festival called Wrought on 11+12 October.
I'm off to do the glamorous last minute tasks of a festival promoter (like photocopying programmes and buying bottles of water). Hoping to see lots of you tomorrow at Emergency.
