			The Empty Gallery Interviews by Claire Nichols & Altair Roelants 2. Unknown Unknowns Ami Clarke Friday 1st May 2009 7.00 pm Introducing the second in the series of The Empty Gallery Interviews: A live conversation piece in which art writers Claire Nichols and Altair Roelants will talk with artist Ami Clarke about the upcoming show Unknown Unknowns. This interview will offer an insight into the methodology that informs the artist‘s response to the Campbell Works gallery; tracing Clarke‘s evolving relationship to the space in the lead up to installing her work. The Empty Gallery Interviews make public the anticipatory dialogue that exists between the exhibitor and the exhibiton space. Putting into practice a vocal ordering of the visual, the Interviews consider what it might mean to perform or translate the artist‘s response to the site. The series is ongoing and will probe the rituals associated with making, exhibiting and viewing within a host of gallery spaces across London.

			Waltham Forest FE College To accompany the installation Within these Walls a joint project was created with the Media Department at Waltham Forest FE College to show 40 students a range of films, looking at the construction of the Israeli ‘apartheid wall’. By showing films that are on the one hand highly edited propaganda, alongside unedited camcorder documentaries / diaries, important issues around mediation and the role and remits of the media can be explored.
			Within these walls / film night To accompany the installation Within these Walls Carol Archer gave a short introduction followed by a screenings of: "A Caged Bird's Song" Directed by Sobhi Zobaidi Produced by Birzeit University Right to Education Committee "Almost one third of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip are school and university students. Under Israeli occupation, Palestinian education has been a basic struggle rather than a basic right. This film examines the more recent history of that struggle during Israel's current war of attrition on the civilian population under its control. Filmed in the spring and summer of 2003, the film joins students and teachers on their everyday journey to reach their schools and universities under the regime of military roadblocks. Basic activities associated with educational life: reaching class, going home, attending graduation, have become immense challenges. In continuing to make the difficult journey, students and teachers assert their right to education and a future. This is their story". Ewa Jafiewicz who has lived in Jenin will gave a talk followed by a screening of ‘Jenin ...Jenin’a film by Mohammad Bakri 2002

			'The Good, The Bad and the.....' discussion As part of the project The Good, The Bad and the..... the participating artists discussed the thinking behind their decisions to choose work that they considered to be their good work and that which they considered was not. The results of the puplic poll were then revealed to try an evaluate any correlations between the artists and their audiences opinions.
			Piano Circus As part of the Stoke Newington Festival, Piano Circus performed three of their pieces. Piano Circus rely on equal interaction between the pianists to create a memorable musical and visual experience. Since 1989 pianocircus have inspired the creation of a unique repertoire of new music for six keyboards and brought it to a wide audience through live performances, recordings and broadcasts together with education and outreach projects. Pianocircus continually expands its repertoire of new work through commissioning other artists, generating its own material, optimising the use of music technology and collaborating with other media. There are no soloists and no leader - only six players who work together collaboratively to create an ensemble like no other. All artistic decisions are made by the six pianists; there is no artistic director, so the work they create is the joint outcome of six individual visions of what music making can be. The group performs only new music, most of it written specially by themselves.
			Theatre-Rites production of Cellarworks was a site specific work commissioned by the London International Festival of Theatre for LIFT99 and performed at Campbell Works. Directed by Penny Bernand & Sue Buckmaster Artists: Sophia Clist and Shaheen Merali Sound by Bruce Sharp and Greame Miller Performers David Tse, Alex Martin, Helga Farhadiann, Louisa Leiserach, Katheryn Powell, Desiree Scarpellini, Ian Sweeney Four artists worked with children from a local school, exploring changes in their lives through video , sculpture, dance, and puppetry. The theme of change was developed as the artists transformed the basement of Campbell Works a former textile warehouse into a magical world of texture and forms. Exploring change through the creation of a garment, from cutting a pattern to wearing the finished article, the hero in the performance experienced a series of surreal encounters with a pattern cutter, a seamstress, workers and fabrics before he found the suit of his dreams. The children were kept informed of the creation of the piece and made site visits as the installation and rehearsals progressed.
