Past Event
For the first event in the Music for Museums season, London-based experimental music ensemble Apartment House performs a series of key Fluxus scores. Performed by Philip Thomas (piano), Lore Lixenberg (voice), Anton Lukoszevieze (cello), the acoustic programme includes works by George Brecht, John Cage, Alison Knowles and Nam June Paik, among others.
With the performers dispersed throughout the space of the gallery and certain pieces realised simultaneously, the evening serves as an introduction to the pioneering artists and musicians who paved the way for the experimental practices showcased throughout this performance series.
Doors open 30 minutes before the performance starts. This is a standing event, with limited seating provided on request.
