Come and celebrate multidisciplinary artist Lydia Chan’s installation ‘Your Ship Has Landed’. This exhibition is a space for visitors to come and perform in, interacting with a narrative that explores the bubbly fantastical qualities of science fiction in a time where science is so filled with doom and gloom. Acclimatise to this new environment where Lydia has created an alternative lens, reinterpreting nature as an alien world. Featuring AR Filters Artists: Songyee Kim and Thibaut Evrard and 3D Artist: Jae Yeon Kim

An evening of performance, fun and dancing.

CHESTER HAYES

London-based dance artist Chester Hayes performs and creates movement for live performance, film, theatre and night-club settings. The artist takes inspiration from night-club culture and autobiographical narratives. He is the founder of club-night and performance collective ‘Sue Veneers’. Chester’s performance credits include works by Holly Blakey, Lloyd Newson, Jonathan Watkins and Franka Marlene Foth.

Whilst navigating the dreamlike landscapes of ‘Your Ship Has Landed’, viewers will encounter Hayes’ performers transcending the chaos of the hyper environment, moving through the audience bringing ritual and calm. They connect with the worlds of nature, science and fantasy on deeper, rhythmic levels and respond to Chan’s work with total immersion.

The performances will take place at 7:00, 8:00 and 9:00pm during the evening of the Private View.
