Sat. 4, 3pm, ‘Fluviatile’ to celebrate a new publication by Lindsey Adams & Michelene Wandor with Ibi Aziz (viola da gamba), Bristol
Arnolfini, 16 Narrow Quay, Bristol, BS1 4QA. Lindsey Adams' photographic images of a small Derbyshire brook explore the water’s surface and multiple layers of underwater currents; photographed with an intense scrutiny and painterly sensibility, they are concerned with notions of an underworld. Michelene Wandor has written Ophelia: the poem, in response to the sequence of images. For this event at the Arnolfini, a presentation of large-scale projected brook images and readings explore the divisions and intersections between the verbal and the visual, providing a backdrop for multilayered performances and live music; the images and poems will be reinterpreted by viola da gamba virtuoso Ibi Aziz, with improvisations by stunning jazz musicians David Wickins and Liam Noble. Underwater sound recordings will create additional layers.
