Four artists and a performance
Motinternational, London
Under the umbrella of a one year experiment, the projects do not have to fit into traditional exhibition timescales, they can collide, interact and even cancel each other. Now are on view works by: Florian Roithmayr, Nicolas Deshayes, Joe Sola and Joseph Long. After a year on tour around Europe Olof Olsson is completing his lecture performance project 'Disco: the music - the places - the people' in London Saturday 4th December 7 - 9 pm.
2010 will be slightly different at MOT International, in that under the umbrella of a one year experiment, the gallery will dispense with conventional programming. It is intended that through this abandonment of traditional exhibition programming the gallery will be able to react to ideas from artists and curators almost immediately, with projects merging and usurping each other in a free-form reaction to current ideas edited by the director. This means that projects do not have to fit into traditional exhibition timescales, they can collide, interact and even cancel each other. The most interesting works supersede their successors. Works can come and go over the year.

Disco: the music - the places - the people
A lecture performance by Olof Olsson
7 - 9 pm, Saturday 4th December
After a year on tour around Europe Olof Olsson is completing his lecture performance project Disco: the music - the places - the people at MOT International, London.
Olsson has long been a dedicated follower of disco and the performance uses disco music as a generator of a lecture about the social experience of disco, its peak in the 70’s and its modern legacy. In Disco: the music - the places - the people Olof combines the traditional form of the academic lecture with the self-consciousness of the comedian and the missionary zeal of the DJ, to explore the performative aspects of knowledge sharing.
Swedish artist Olof Olsson shares his studio apartment in Copenhagen with 6000 vinyl records - most of them disco. He has studied philosophy, languages and translation theory at Lund University, and Fine Arts at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.
During 2010, Disco: the music - the places - the people has been performed at:
Rocker 33, Stuttgart; Divo Institute, Kolin; F.A.I.T., Krakow; Hochschule für Bildende Künste, Hamburg; Kunstraum D21, Leipzig; Razzia–Seefeld, Zürich;
Galleri Signal, Malmö; Den Frie Udstillnigsbygning, Copenhagen; Holstebro Kunstmuseum, Holstebro; Gesellschaft für Aktuelle Kunst, Bremen and Nationaltheater, Mannheim.
