Andy Holden performance 20th October 2009






To celebrate the final day of Fallen Out Of Space, Andy Holden staged a live evening perfomance of Two Short Works in Time: Last Stop for the Good Old Times, a work for piano quintet, marble game and live projection, The Third Attempt (A Meditation on the Dumb Motif), 16mm film and string quartet.

The live event activated Holden's film which was projected above the fireplace at Mol's Place throughout the week-long exhibition. This intimate and beautiful performance, for thirty invited guests and within the soaring grand walls of Mol's Place, involved film, a live camera projection, spoken word, piano, electronics and a string quartet playing music by The Grubby Mitts and Johnny Parry, conducted by John Parry. The musical and visual piece explores the relationship between sculptural object and duration, and in March 2010 it was performed at Tate Britain at part of the BP Saturdays: Going Live programme.
