PHIL by Anna Best
The Beaufoy Institute, London
PHIL investigates the relationship between urban regeneration, arts funding and the philanthropic attitude. By searching for Philip’s, Philomena’s and Phillippa’s, Anna Best turns on its side any notion of a geographically defined community. PHIL is offered to the residents of Vauxhall and the London Philharmonic Orchestra in the spirit of celebratory collaboration and critical provocation. Performances: July 27th 6pm & 9pm.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra Musicians played their part of a Mozart
Serenade in a PHIL's home and this was filmed on video. These separate
performances are being reunited via an orchestra of televisions in the
Beaufoy Hall and will be broadcast live on the internet.
PHIL has been realised with advice and assistance from Gasworks Gallery,
Fiona Boundy, Andrea Crociani, Mimi Hansmann, Katherine Green, Stefan
Szczelkun, Myles Stawman, Bettina Wilhelm, and Paul Whitty. A special thanks
to all the Phil’s, the musicians, Richard Mallet and Amy Plant.
PHIL is the first in a series of temporary public art works commissioned by
The Beaufoy Arts Project to stimulate debate about the future of the Beaufoy
Institute. Supported by: Lambeth Riverside, Lambeth Arts, The Vauxhall St.
Peter's Heritage Centre, Danielle Arnaud Contemporary Art Gasworks Gallery
and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
