13 pieces, 17 feet, performed by Melanie Wilson. In the context of Park Nights
Park Nights is an annual series of music, theatre, performances, talks and film screenings stages on Friday nights in the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, this year designed by Jean Nouvel. Artist Becky Beasley's performative project, '13 pieces, 17 feet', finds its point of departure in photographer Eadweard Muybridge's extraordinary 1878 panoramic photograph of San Francisco. Performed by writer, performer and sound artist Melanie Wilson, this monologue in thirteen parts and multiple voices will follow an alternating structure between historical fictions and abstract texts, and will incorporate exquisite details of archival photographs, creating an event which spirals slowly into the black hole at the centre of an extraordinary object. Tickets 5/4 pounds, available from the Serpentine Gallery Lobby Desk.
