The second night of 3 Evenings invites two brand new collaborations, between Holly Blakey and Studios artist Tai Shani, and fellow Studios artist Gary Zhexi Zhang with collaborators Klara Kofen and Cameron Graham. New York’s Team Rolfes bring the evening to high energy close, with world premieres of newly commissioned interactive installations from Ayoung Kim, Xin Liu, Keiken and a reimagined work by Louis Morlæ, across all nights. Saturday’s event also features a newly commissioned intervention by Studios artists Nina Davies and Zein Majali.
A three-night event and international transmission, 3 Evenings takes Somerset House Studios’ distinctive approach to interdisciplinary experimentation beyond the Somerset House walls with three different live performance experiments each night, set within a wider programme of newly commissioned works and interactive installations.
3 Evenings playfully reimagines the 1966 event 9 Evenings: Theatre and Engineering, widely regarded as a pivotal moment in the history of artists working with new technologies. Sixty years on from the original event, artists from the Studios community and international special guests explore what it means to perform with technology now, in the same radical spirit of experimentation.
Unfolding within the spaces of a former hydraulic power station, echoing the industrial character of the original 1960s venue, this will be a three-night ticketed event offsite at Wapping Hydraulic Power Station.
