For her first solo exhibition in the UK, Annika Kahrs presents the billion year spree, a selection of new works using film, performance and installation commissioned in response to and positioned throughout Flat Time House. For "the billion year spree" she has focused her research into John Latham’s holistic cosmology of time and the universe, and how this... might be visualised through time-based music and the atemporality of scores.
'the billion year spree' is accompanied by a series of performances, concerts and talks on music, sound and scores.
The title of the show derives from a 1970’s science fiction encyclopedia by Brian Aldiss, a collection of past imaginings of possible futures. Kahrs brings together her research into Latham with other perspectives via her research with Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) in Potsdam-Golm, Germany, the realm of psychiatric neuroimaging, and the search for cosmic gravitational waves via research with LIGO Scientific Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration. From these starting points her work focuses on systems or forms of communication, interpretation and translation. Using music and sound she shifts or assembles what we hear through a performative process, making timelines intertwine and auditory perceptions interact.
Annika Kahrs b. 1984 is an artist who primarily works with film, performance and installation. In her work she examines representation and interpretation; she is interested in both social and scientific constructs, as well as evolved organic relations such as those between humans and animals. Her films oscillate between obvious staging and documentary-like observation. Music is very important in her films; through her selection, and the ensuing adjustments during the editing process, the score turns to film, and, subsequently, this film as score can turn into another film in the viewer’s mind.
Annika Kahrs has been awarded a number of prizes and scholarships including the George-Maciunas-Förderpreis in 2012, and first prize at the 20th Bundeskunstwettbewerb of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research in 2011. Kahrs has exhibited internationally, including at the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin, 5th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art, Greece, On the Road exhibition in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, the Bienal Internacional de Curitiba, Brazil, Hamburger Kunsthalle, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin and the Velada de Santa Lucia festival in Maracaibo, Venezuela.

VERMEIR & HEIREMANS — MASQUERADE FILM SCREENING AND IN-CONVERSATION
Friday 14 December 6.30 - 9pm
... Screening starts at 7pm followed by In-Conversation and Refreshments
In their practice, Belgian artist duo Vermeir & Heiremans define their own house as an artwork, using it as a framing device to focus on the growing financialisation of the arts, urban space and daily life. The artists employ financial tools, historical references and cinematic language to reflect on art's role in the production (and possible distribution) of value in today’s artistic and non-artistic realms.
On the occasion of Vermeir & Heiremans' solo exhibition A Modest Proposal (in a Black Box) at Pump House Gallery, Battersea, FTHo is hosting a screening of their film Masquerade, which describes the development of the experimental financial index Art House Index. For this event the 'live' version of the work will be shown whereby the financial market influences the real-time 'cutting' of the film. The screening is followed by the artists in-discussion with FTHo curator Gareth Bell-Jones about their practice, and in particular the 'house as artwork’.
Free, but space is limited, reserve a place via the event page

Part memoir, part road map of the burgeoning British Underground of the 1960s, Jeff Nuttall's notorious book Bomb Culture has remained out of print for fifty years.
FTHo's new show The Psychopathic Now! marks the 50th anniversary republication of Bomb Culture by Strange Attractor Press. Join us at the opening this Friday for an in-conversation with the book's editors Douglas Field and Jay Jeff Jones chaired by writer Fanny Paul Clinton.

THE PSYCHOPATHIC NOW!
JEFF NUTTALL’S BOMB CULTURE AND THE INTERNATIONAL UNDERGROUND
Organised by Strange Attractor Press in collaboration with Flat Time House. Curated by Douglas Field, Jay Jeff Jones and Jamie Sutcliffe
... Opening with In-Conversation Event: Friday 23rd November from 6.30pm
7-8pm In-conversation with Douglas Field, Jay Jeff Jones and Paul Clinton
8-9pm Drinks
Exhibition Continues to 15th December
Out of print for fifty years, Jeff Nuttall's book Bomb Culture (1968) has achieved legendary status as a powerful, informative, and spirited exploration of 1960s alternative society and counterculture. This confessional account of the period investigated the sources of its radical art, music, and protest movements as well as the beliefs, anxieties, and conceits of its key agitators, including Nuttall’s own.
Gathering together many small press publications, fragments of charged ephemera, historical documents and correspondence, The Psychopathic Now! is a modest attempt to illustrate something of the complex milieu out of which Bomb Culture erupted.
The Psychopathic Now! marks the 50th anniversary republication of Jeff Nuttall's Bomb Culture by Strange Attractor Press. The book will be launched at the exhibition opening with an in-conversation with the book’s editors Douglas Field and Jay Jeff Jones, chaired by writer Paul Clinton. Free, no booking required.

... ------------------------------------
About Law Shifters:
With the current discussions on direct democracy, legal (un)realisable proposals from citizens could play an important role on the political stage. Law Shifters strengthens young people’s democratic education in a serious yet humorous and creative way and deals with existing regulations and legislations in Europe.
During the month of April and May Stine Marie Jacobsen and Lawyer Sarah Andrew, who personally worked with John Latham, will moderate the workshops in collaboration with South London Gallery’s Young People’s program and share these with the public through the exhibition. As an exhibition, the process of law writing and discussion will be shared through printed materials, sound and workshop.
