Theatre Imp: Irena's Vow @ Lincoln Drill Hall

Theatre Imp: Irena's Vow @ Lincoln Drill Hall
Tuesday 11 Feb–Thursday 13 Feb 2014, 7.30pm

New local amateur company Theatre Imp’s debut production is the incredible true story of Irena Gut, a Polish Catholic, who, witnessing the fate of Jews in German-occupied Poland, began a very personal rescue campaign.

Dan Gordon’s wonderful play captures Irena’s irony and sense of humour in the face of adversity and the play is as uplifting as it is thought provoking.

The team at Lincoln Drill Hall are delighted that Irena’s daughter, Jeannie, is flying from America to attend all the performances.

This UK premier coincides with commemorative events taking place to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.

Archaeology For The Frivolous

 The Archaeology For The Frivolous The Collection Lincoln

9 Nov 2013 - 31 Dec 2013

 

David Kirshner's exhibition interprets the events surrounding a tram incident in St. Petersburg 1915 which has been lost in time.

Kirshner's work is usually a 'commentary' on an artist or period in art history. This usually encompasses the 18th century, the Baroque and Modernism. For this exhibition Kirshner will be focusing on St. Petersburg 1915. As revolutionary fervour reaches breaking point throughout Russia, a group of artists led by Kasimir Malevich and Natalia Goncharova mount an exhibition of their work at 73 Nevsky Prospect under the banner ‘The First Futurism Exhibition, Tramway V’.

The private view for this exhibition was a lively affair, incurring mostly negative comments from critics as the work displayed was futurist; a style which was still disregarded. The title to the show alone encouraged negative attitudes as there is no Tramway in St. Petersburg with that name. This however was the intent of the artists. After the private viewing there was an incident on a tram further along the boulevard. Possible victims and perpetrators have been lost in time, only Malevich’s two drawings survive of the incident.

Kirshner’s exhibition at the Courtyard gallery is both an interpretation and a frivolous commentary on a night when passions ran high, and political events scattered the protagonists around a Europe never to be the same again.
Kirshner uses a variety of media from wood and metal to printing and photography within his work.

Revolution In The Bedroom @ The Hub

 

 

NCCD first ever to celebrate golden age of British video game industry

Revolution in the Bedroom, War in the Playground: Video Gaming 1979-1989
19 Oct 2013 to 5 Jan 2014 at The Hub in Sleaford
Our brand new exhibition will be the first ever to celebrate and explore the rise of the British video games industry. "Revolution" takes a unique starting point - home based or "bedroom" programming. We highlight the importance of the hardware and the creativity of the early pioneers of video gaming and the industry's importance to the arts and creative industries.
You can even go hands on with some of the exhibits and get gaming!
We focus on the golden years of '79 to '89. The gaming art form pioneered during that time is finally being recognised as a genuinely new form of aesthetics and storytelling. These British games wove a rich and diverse 8-bit tapestry full of working class heroes, political satire, and infuriatingly complex puzzles, and the narrative devices and internal physics they pioneered still stand out as innovative and utterly ground-breaking.
Our curators have brought together objects which capture the achievements of the British bedroom programming generation, and the material and promotional artwork that articulates the rich and creative culture that grew around the industry. We have working models of the Sinclair ZX81, ZXSpectrum, Commodore 64, BBC Micro and the Amstrad, arcade games, video game titles, manuals, user guides and popular fanzines of the time such as CRASH.
Some of the most influential, iconic or ground-breaking British video games from the era, such as Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy are profiled - have a go at Atic Atac, Ant Attack, Manic Miner, The Hobbit and The Wild Bunch. Four newly commissioned films show a series of interviews with never-before seen footage, featuring significant games designers telling their stories directly.
Original artwork and reproductions by iconic designer Oliver Frey are included, and a new commission from Turner Prize nominee Simon Patterson, who is producing a major new wall-based work in the exhibition space, will add a highly contemporary view point to the exhibition. The exhibition closes with a profile of some of the current games designed from the bedroom.

The Gainsborough Packet @ The Hub Sleaford

On 14th September The Hub in Sleaford will be screening a short film, The Gainsborough Packet, followed by a live set from folk musician Robin Grey (www.robingrey.com).

The Gainsborough Packet is the culmination of a year’s research by Matt Stokes, which began with the discovery of a letter within the Tyne & Wear archive, written by an ordinary man named John Burdikin, in 1828. The letter became inspiration for lyrics, music and film created by Stokes and his collaborators (Jon Boden from Bellowhead and composer Alistair Anderson). The Gainsborough Packet engages with folk tradition, contemporary music videos and popular culture and being produced with a particular sensitivity to the shared legacy of folk music in Camden and Newcastle which stems from Stokes immersive research.

 

Robin Grey is based in Hackney and has recently returned from a successful tour of Edinburgh's Fridge Festival, where he racked up 12 gigs in just one week! He draws inspiration from the timeless work of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Ani Difranco amongst many others.
