Club 21: Remaking the Scene
One Marylebone, London
Experimental artists from around the world will come together to reinvent the concept of an art-club scene. The scene will be set as soon as visitors walk through the door into what looks like a vintage nightclub lobby, reminiscent of art scenes such as New York in the 1980s, Perestroika-era Russia, and the English and California punk scenes and artist-run occupied spaces in Milan. The main hall will be the backdrop for sound events, performances and, as well as for large sculptures and installations. Sound art curator Steve Piccolo has invited a number of outstanding sound experimenters to contribute recorded pieces that play with the idea of the "conversation".

Experimental artists from around the world will come together to reinvent the concept of an art-club scene in Club 21 – Remaking the Scene at One Marylebone, London, October 13-23. The free-entry venue will become an exciting, non-commercial centre of creativity, where something new happens every day, on the fringes of the Frieze Art Fair. Club 21 will be a crucible of works in progress, where sound art and performance are presented alongside installations, inviting interaction between artists and audience.
It was the widely perceived lack of a "scene" today that prompted the curator Oxana Maleeva (Art Apart), in partnership with gallerist Natasha Akhmerova (Barbarian Art Gallery), to conceive Club 21 – Remaking the Scene. Sound and performance will be developed by one of the protagonists of the New York underground scene in the 1980s, the internationally renowned musician and sound artist Steve Piccolo, co-founder of the Lounge Lizards. The project has been organised with Mudam Museum of Luxembourg and Victoria – the Art of Being Contemporary foundation (Moscow).
At One Marylebone the scene will be set as soon as visitors walk through the door into what looks like a vintage nightclub lobby, reminiscent of art scenes such as New York in the 1980s, Perestroika-era Russia, and the English and California punk scenes and artist-run occupied spaces in Milan. The main hall will be the backdrop for sound events, performances and, as well as for large sculptures and installations. Sound art curator Steve Piccolo has invited a number of outstanding composers and sound experimenters to contribute recorded pieces that play with the idea of the “conversation”.
A Constructed World will invite people to contribute to a paper room with drawings and texts; Evgeny Yufit will present performances based on those of the experimental NecroRealists during the Perestroika era in St Petersburg; the Italo-Russian artist Marc Vincent Kalinka will pose as a security guard outside One Marylebone in a live performance of his original video Still (Nothing).
