A Radio impression of VOCALIS, an irregular performance event at the delicious Beaconsfield Gallery Vauxhall London. VOCALIS places emphasis on giving voice in many forms; sharing ideas, drawing on collective memory and Beaconsfield’s long engagement with text, time-based/live art, performance and sound. Informal and open, Vocalis happens in Beaconsfield’s intimate cafe space - where food and fluids mix with electrical impulses and vocalised concepts. Michael Curran MC Jeroen van Dooren explores divided subjectivities in the company of performing rabbits Jefford Horrigan performs a very personal ritual within a bespoke sculptural assemblage that is jealous of painting Tara Fatehi Irani mishandles an archive from Tehran through photographic images, dance, spoken word and digital media Liming Lin aspires to be a symbol – that everyone looks up to Niamh Roberts delivers a love story especially penned for Vocalis.
