Wednesday January 20th, 7pm- Antepress / Organ Octet

Imprint and project platform antepress will present an experimental lecture on ekphrasis. Deriving from the Greek words ek (out) and phrasis (speak), ekphrasis is the rhetorical trope of 'description': a process of writing that verbalises and incites the mental image of something that is visual or non-textual. antepress was established in 2008 by Julia Calver, Patrick Coyle, Cressida Kocienski, Claire Nichols, Tamarin Norwood and Gemma Sharpe.

antepress will be followed by the organ octet - a loose assemblage of musicians kicking life and form into the humble reed organs of the 70s taking them out of the living room corner and onto the stage, sharing wave space with their fellows to create a shimmering, glowing halo of overtones. Transcendent stuff.

Saturday January 16th, 2.45pm - Burkhard Meltzer 'PROTOTYPE'

Zurich-based curator and critic Burkhard Meltzer will present & discuss the ideas surrounding his research project 'Prototype - furniture in art and design', exploring contemporary positions in art and design.
