June 2010
Katherina and Alister Lownie will be presenting their new piece Burning Black at South Hill Park on June 19th at 7pm. Invite below:
Play is not always playful. You light a match and watch it burn. It is about enjoying the smallest, almost imaginary, danger. It can be about the transformative event, an experience shared amongst those present at one unique moment. Burning Black is a journey through the mysteries of fire. Working with memory and ritual, it draws the viewer into an ephemeral community. From those moments together, what do the flames destroy? What endures? Bring your past, your dreams, and together we'll forge the present.
Katherina Radeva and Alister Lownie have been working together since October 2009, investigating community and memory. Working with installation and performance, they are the artists in residence for the At Play exhibition, devising this new work at South Hill Park.
Free, but please RSVP kat@katherinaradeva.co.uk
