A Latento Vol. 2 – Sammelbände Book Launch
Alex Farrar, Harry Meadley, Iona Smith

A Latento Vol. 2 – Sammelbände is the latest publication from Alex Farrar, Harry Meadley and Iona Smith. Developing from the exhibition ,,Sammelbände”, East Street Arts (October 2008) the book covers the consortium’s activities throughout last year.
Sammelbändes were popular during the Tudor period, as texts were widely released unbound, owners would have collections of texts and manuscripts by various authors bound together in large volumes, for posterity, cross-reference and to be more economically viable.

Hell Yes will present free copies to the first 30 visitors.

New Work for 16 Sine Wave Oscillators, Gaussian Noise and Lowpass Filter
Joe Gilmore
Friday 19 June 7–8.30pm

Time is divided into three distinct regions; the “past”, the “present”, and the “future”.
Using this representational model, the past is immutably fixed, and the future as undefined and nebulous. As time passes, the moment that was once the present becomes part of the past; and part of the future, in turn, becomes the new present. In this way time is said to pass, with a distinct present moment “moving” forward into the future and leaving the past behind.

In this work for four loudspeakers, Gilmore explores the physiological properties of sound using sine waves and noise.

The performance will coincide with the release of a limited edition CD-R produced by Entr’acte for Hell Yes.

Supported by Leeds Metropolitan University.

3 Interpretations
William Rose with Dan Graham, Andrew Lampert, Joe Mawson, Bruce McClure, Rhiannon Silver
Wednesday 24 June, 9–10.30pm

3 Interpretations is an event made up of three short experimental film/performance works whose staging and presentation are open-ended and interpretable. Organised by myself, in collaboration with Silver Mawson, the evening will include a restaging of conceptual artist Dan Graham’s reflexive 1972 performance Past Future Split Attention; and two new collapsible film performances conceived specifically for the occasion, and sent in the form of instructions by US artists Andrew Lampert and Bruce McClure. (Will Rose)

3 Interpretations is:
– Myself / Mawson / Rose
– Myself / Mawson / our artwork
– us three / other artist(s) / audience
– 3 artworks in the event by 3 artists
– artwork / audience / space
(Rhiannon Silver)

3 Interpretations is curated by Will Rose and invites the participation of Rhiannon Silver and Joe Mawson. 3 Interpretations will show works conceived by Dan Graham, Bruce McClure and Andrew Lampert, brought to Hell Yes in the form of instructions. Negotiating various positions of authorship, the series of works
completed by the three will see them shift between artist, curator, artwork, participant and audience. (Joe Mawson)
