Saturday 10 March: Day of performances and live works including the reinterpretation of a performance by John Latham and film programme curated in collaboration with LUX.

The group exhibition The Starry Rubric Set (the title taken from a quote from Milton’s poem Paradise Regained) considers classical astrology as a device to bring together new works made by artists who were in residence at Wysing Arts Centre during 2011 and to introduce the three themes of Wysing’s 2012 programme: The Cosmos, The Mirror and The Forest.

The exhibition includes site-specific works, moving-image, sound work, sculpture and prints that loosely explore systems and structures of space and time. Within the gallery, a large scale glow-in-the-dark sculpture by Nicolas Deshayes functions as a projection screen for Karin Kihlberg & Reuben Henry’s 'This Story is About a Little Boy'; a ten minute reconstruction of 'The Fallen Idol' by British film director Carol Reed. Reed’s film is recalled from memory as a monologue that in turn provides a structure to the re-edited visuals of the film. Traces of the images linger on Deshayes’ phosphorescent screen, between stills slowly fading. Interspersed between these screenings, a new sound work by Laure Prouvost fills the gallery space, her voice speaking softly but focused directly on the listener.

Giles Round’s new mural made from plaited coloured electrical cable and ceramic ‘hubs’ branches across the gallery walls; each wire leading to spotlights which serve to illuminate other works in the exhibition by Ruth Beale, Rob Filby and Kate Owens. Marjolijn Dijkman’s feature length film 'Wandering in the Future', shown on a monitor, consists of an edited series of images from other films’ projections of the future.

An Endless Supply launch their publication of responses to the proposition "From your position, predict two points in motion that will come into alignment" which the duo posed to nearly 100 contributors to our 2011 programme. Hilary Koob-Sassen’s new sculptures are on display in Wysing’s grounds.

Saturday 10 March, times tbc.
A day of performances and live works including the reinterpretation of John Latham’s performance The Government of the First and Thirteenth Chair by Mark Aerial Waller. Francesco Pedraglio, Emma Smith and Cally Spooner will also present new live works, interspersed with a screening programme for a phosphorescent screen curated in collaboration with LUX.
