For the final event for The Artist Talks, Sarah Pierce has choreographed an ‘artist’s talk’ with six London-based art students. Staged as a group performance and using props and the central stage from the installation, this short, revised speech draws on a text written in 1905 by the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, and the idea of  the artist talk as a mode that all artists occupy; a mode where speech, gestures and archives coalesce, and documentation both anticipates and disturbs the finished work.

To conclude the exhibition The Happy Hypocrite  Interview, hosted by Maria Fusco, presents a series of short readings
by Apexa Patel, Barry Sykes, Sam Hasler, Nathaniel Pitt,
Hanne Lippard,  Jo Melvin, Anthony Iles and Stephen Sutcliffe.
