Artist Nick Smith, a Loewe Foundation/Studio Voltaire Awardee will play records, found sounds and spoken word From the Valley Room window. A space where a distant City of London on the horizon is framed by eighties industrial sheds full of making, mending and hinterland activities – a foregrounding of everyday labour in front of an outlining of late capitalism.
Smith is interested in the relationship between the skyline of a city and music that is a common trope of cinema, and how one informing the other can be echo'd in a feedback loop through his durational performance.
This event is part of Enfield Creatives’ Collection.
