Griffin Gallery is delighted to host inaugrual performances by The Producerers 'The Producerers Present: A Table Reading - in two parts'.

About

The Producerers is a collaborative venture featuring artists, Anne-Marie Creamer and Zoë Mendelson, with invited guests. Utilising the interval between exhibitions at Griffin Gallery as a partial set, The Producerers will stage the first in a series of public events.

The Producerers will actively ponder and create, performing and transforming painting, cinema and theatre - without necessarily directly grounding the work made in the literal materials of each medium. We aim to affect a re-contextualisation of relationships between painting, stage and screen as concurrent, sometimes profound. The borrow and the bleed between media will be subjected to active scrutiny via practice.

Aside from their work with The Producerers, Creamer and Mendelson’s own practices are multi-disciplinary, connecting with drawing, with technologies, with seated and roving audiences and with duration and temporality. In Creamer’s case this manifests via an interest in narrative, representation and presence; in Mendelson’s case via an interest in cultural, spectacularised interpretations of disorder.

For the event at Griffin Gallery The Producerers are interested in making work which foregrounds props, sets, production and preparation of works for stage and screen, using the rehearsal as a point of contact between painting and cinema, painting and theatre. We will stage a theatricalised table-reading - often the first dramatised reading of a future drama for stage - using this form to re-imagine theatre and performance played out through the forms of exhibition and lecture.

Using her recent exhibition, A Diagram of Waiting, at Griffin Gallery’s Perimeter Space, engaging lighting, sound and image, Anne-Marie Creamer will use her experience of rehearsal with Italian actress Simona Senzacqua to develop a fantastical outline of the doubling of presence that can occur when an actor materializes into a fictional character.

Zoë Mendelson’s performance lecture, animation and accompanying objects suggest the cultural construction of disorder - as collagist. A live work emerges, which reflects on the borders of psychopathological attachments to ‘stuff’; psychologies inherent to accumulation; and conscious and unconscious spaces occupied by both object and analysis.
