Exhibition Opening

Investigating the concept of broadcast and the breakdown of production, Little Chops, a Newcastle based arts collective, explore elements of the theme of AV08 through various mixed media and multi-media experiments. The Star and Shadow Cinema provides the backdrop for Little Chops second excursion beyond formal gallery space.

Featuring Artists: Alyson Agar, Jo Burke, Katy Cole, Scott Donohue, Oonagh Hegarty, Paul Raymond and Stuart Ward.

9.30pm gig : BARK!

As part of the exhibition opening, we will have a special gig from Manchester trio: BARK!

BARK!’s music is built up predominantly from quickly-decaying “atoms” in all instruments, and ranges from detailed slow-moving textures, through complex interlocking grooves, to the most frenzied kinetic noise. Solos are rare, and most of the (collective) gestures and textures occur at and explore the intersections between acoustic and electronic sound.

For more information, you can visit the website of A Better Noise here.

The exhibition will be up in the cinema until 7 March 2008.

This event has been programmed as part of the AV 08 festial. For a list of events held at the Star and Shadow as part of AV 08, click here. For more info about AV 08, a festival taking place accorss several venues in Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Sunderland between 28 Feb and 8 March, click here.
