Here’s the Tender Coming (WHOOPEE) We’re all Going to Die plays out a dialogue concerning the reclamation of death within the condition of life, a space where finitude is integral, death is never far from the mind of the artist, and present on the surface, just underneath, or within the text of their work.

Pallas Projects hosts a series of 5 artist-initiated projects, selected via competitive process, as part of the Pallas Projects Summer Programme.

Genealogies; Frameworks for Exchange explores experimental formats for discourse that have the potential to both open up and create affirmative ways to historicise genealogies of authorship - especially female genealogies.

Horvers transmits this material into another reality in the form of voice performances, hand-written drawings, hand-written books, sound installations and interactive electronic text displays.

The exhibition contains in the first programme four key works filmed on 16mm between 1976 and 1996, beginning with the seminal The Girl Chewing Gum shot in black and white on a grey day in Hackney, through to the lyrical Blight, revolving around the building of the M11 Link Road in East London and the bitter campaign by local residents to protect their homes from demolition, and made in collaboration with the composer Jocelyn Pook.

Pallasades have created a live, interactive sound installation in the Triskel Gallery, a former ESB substation. Developing a practice based upon collaboration, process and site-specificity, Pallasades engage with the historical associations of the building, activating the space using sound and electrical impulses.
