The Experimental Library: Octavia E. Butler.

No Longer Available

The Experimental Library is a series of Rooms.

Each Room in The Experimental Library houses ‘events’ in response to the work of a specific radical creator.

The series will create a space for reading, objects, dance, music making, and dialogue, and will coincide with a publication of further responses to the artist.

The second room is Octavia E. Butler.

The concert is a series of responses to Octavia E. Butler:

On Yee Lo

Lotus Edde-Khouri

Ute Kanngiesser

The publication will include contributions by:

Alice Channer

Danny Hayward

Finlay Clark

Keira Greene

Noor Al-Samarrai

On Yee Lo

On Yee Lo (b. Hong Kong) lives and works in London. She designs and constructs ‘Cooking Instruments’- physical systems where common meals are prepared and consumed, creating situations across different social patterns. Gestures, labour and hospitality are the key ingredients in her recipes. She has exhibited and performed her work at Ikon Gallery, ICA, Camden Art Centre, Zabludowicz Collection, Bloomberg New Contemporaries, Beck's Futures and ARTISSIMA Turin. 

Lotus Edde-Khouri

Is a Paris-based dancer and choreographer. Her work researches the different ways that time and space can inform each other, through the practice of dance and choreography, bending from alloy to discord, dialectic to pure process, autonomy to synergy. This research applies in particular to the relation between sound and movement, with slowness in particular - as a means of stretching time through its multiple possibilities - serving as an important tool.

Ute Kanngiesser

Ute Kanngiesser is a London based cellist and composer from Germany. Over the years, she has carefully deconstructed her classical roots and almost exclusively performs unscripted, improvised music. Much of her work has evolved in relationship with other art forms such as film, poetry, dance, and site specific performance.
Cafe Oto has been her musical home since its beginnings and where she has collaborated with a wide spectrum of local and visiting artists. She has also performed at Whitstable Biennale, The Serpentine Gallery, Tate Modern, the V&A and international festivals.
