Sean Bonney: Art in Revolution

LATE NOTICE Friday 4th March, 7pm

Sean Bonney talk on Art in Revolution:

Like social life itself, artistic work goes into convulsions when it enters revolutionary periods. As an example of this process, I’d like to offer a lecture on the breakdowns between boundaries between artforms in the early years of the Russian Revolution /// talking about poets like Khlebnikov and Mayakovsky, about filmmakers like Eisenenstein, composers like Avraamov (if possible I’d like to play a recording of his Symphony of Sirens at massive volume) /// and talking about them as an example of how avant-garde art can become revolutionary (& contribute to social revolution) with absolutely no compromise in its complexity etc.

This wouldn’t be a simple historical lecture – I’d be talking about these artists as a way for us to think about how we as artists (& in particular experimental artists) can be contributing to the struggles we are all engaged in right now.
