NEW MEDIA ART BATH COMMISSION:

Gail Pickering - BRUTALIST PREMOLITION - TONIGHT!

Don't miss this exciting opportunity to see Gail Pickering's new work, 
BRUTALIST PREMOLITION, a film and live performance that takes place 
within a sculptural set that references the interior of a flat on the 
Robin Hood Gardens Estate, an example of 'New Brutalism' designed by 
Alison and Peter Smithson and imbued with their socially utopian 
ideals. Actors, Raji James and Babita Pohoomull (familar faces from 
British TV, film and theatre) inhabit the set as they repeat 
well-rehearsed scenes from their inventory of past roles, while within 
the film a resident family cast the actors to play themselves.

Before coming along to see BRUTALIST PREMOLITION (20.00hrs at the 
Arnolfini) pop down to our friends, Spike Island where at 18.00hrs Matt 
White, recipient of the Rootstein Hopkins Artist's Award 2008, will 
discuss his work with writer, curator and artist Paul O'Neill. Don't 
miss out on a great evening of contemporary art (and all free if you're 
a student)!
