FOLD (Lab) will be curating a panel discussion reflecting on the project, what the art world and club culture can learn from one another, the future of creativity at the intersections of cultural scenes. Joining the panel will be Larry Achiampong, Nicolas Kaplony (Arts Quest), John Strutton, John Slyce, and UCL Interactive Architecture Lab course leader Ruairi Glynn.
Larry Achiampong:
Larry Achiampong's solo and collaborative projects employ imagery, aural and visual archives, live performance and sound to explore ideas surrounding class, cross-cultural and post-digital identity. These investigations examine constructions of ‘the self’ by splicing the audible and visual materials of personal and interpersonal archives, offering multiple perspectives that reveal entrenched socio-political contradictions in contemporary society.
Achiampong has exhibited, performed and presented projects within the UK and abroad including Tate Britain/Modern, London; The Institute For Creative Arts, Cape Town; The British Film Institute, London; David Roberts Art Foundation, London; Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen; Bokoor African Popular Music Archives Foundation, Accra; Logan Center Exhibitions, Chicago; Prospect New Orleans, New Orleans; Diaspora Pavilion – 57th Venice Biennale, Venice; and Somerset House, London.
Voicedrone:
Lasha Jorjoliani (Voicedrone) is the co-founder of FOLD. His music production practice spans intuitive use of vintage synths, and retro drum machines, vintage Roland Space Echo which is apparent in his released debut EP 'Emotional Disorder’ and single 'Nomina'. The release is has gained momentum; attracted the ears of Dixon, KiNK, DJ Tennis, and Mano Le Tough and more plus radio plays on Rinse FM and NTS in the UK.
