Wed 13th// APE FORGETS MEDICATION: Treyfs and Artknacks @ Londonnewcastle project
Literary jack of all trades and performance artist Johnathan Meades presents his first exhibition Ape forgets Medication. It is a rather odd set of works, using various mediums. Using a dose of spontaneity and aleatoricism (the magic of chance), Meades’ creation processes are largely improvisatory. He paints with numerous tools; froissage, hyper-realist photography, digital manipulation, collage etc. Meades is set on bemusing his audience with his meaningless art- knick-knacks and peculiar pieces. Enough of the explaining; the best advice is, go and see it. More information here:

Maverick Tom Ward and his Madwort cohort are ready to present their refreshing take on space-age jazz. In a special organised concert, the group will be live recording their debut album at the Hundred Gallery, transporting us to another plane. The Saxophone quartet explores irregular grooves, unusual harmonies, intricate rhythms and abrasive dissonances. Inspired by concepts of mathematics, numerology and the movement of the Earth in Space; the foursome bend together harmoniously. Come and experience their brass wizardry this weekend.

All these artists are students on the Information Experience Design MA at the Royal College of Art, a fascinating course which focuses on ‘transforming information into experience’. Intrigued?
