6pm drinks, exhibition view and publication launch

7.30pm performance

Assembly Point is delighted to announce a special performance event and publication launch as part of nth nature a new body of work by Lilah Fowler.

The publication nth nature, published and art directed by Assembly Point with Chris Lacy, includes ‘in the place of the digital’ a commissioned text by Oliver Basciano that discusses this new body of work.

Dennis McNulty’s performance anginging is made in response to the exhibiton, McNulty will perform live with a Roland TB-303, the sampled voice of American artist Nancy Holt and a piece of custom software called MARK. 

MARK is an algorithmic musical collaborator, a cognitive prosthetic which traces latent desire-lines through human-programmed musical patterns. In anginging, drum-machine rhythms are bent and interwoven with wiry trails of 303 and Holt’s voice, sampled from Boomerang, her collaboration with Richard Serra. anginging draws on this classic work, fusing it with the legacy of the 303 via custom algorithms to make a new kind of acid.
