Join the National Portrait Gallery for a night of sensory stimulation exploring the body, movement and the senses: inspired by the Road to 2012 exhibition. Artistic collaborations and interventions of live music, sound art, film, performance, and philosophy take over the Gallery animating spaces, portraits and you. Feel, touch, smell, listen and respond – the Gallery will be a giant creative and imaginative playground for the senses.
Featured artists performing live on the night include Ben Westbeech, Andreya Triana, Di Mainstone, Sissel Tolaas and Marvin Ayres, with specially commissioned music from Martyn Ware, Brian Duffy, Mira Calix and Illum Sphere.
ReAnimate is curated by Martyn Ware, Illustrious and Karen Pearson, Folded Wing.
Programme includes:
Specially commissioned sonic soundscapes inspired by the Collection fill gallery spaces
Artists’ panel discussion hosted by Martyn Ware and Karen Pearson, with Brian Duffy, Sissel Tolaas and Mira Calix discussing the inspiration behind their work. Due to the popularity of these events, any tickets not collected half an hour before the event starts on Friday 5 August will be re-released.
