Morgan Quaintance: Available Light // 26th March // 20:00 - 22:30 //
Available Light is a new touring commission devised by London based artist, writer and musician, Morgan Quaintance presented by Outlands Network. A year-long expanded exhibition exploring notions of home and belonging in contemporary society.
The Available Light tour brings together new formal and conceptual elements, writing, and sound compositions developed by Quaintance, and places them in a changing configuration alongside other contributions – music, spoken word and moving image – from a range of invited artists.
This culmination of the touring programme invites BEEF-affiliated artists to present film, performance, spoken word, and sound works in response to Available Light. Alongside Quaintance’s premise, the programme reflects upon both personal and social perspectives, exploring notions of home and belonging in contemporary society, and examining how these experiences are shaped by place, memory, and both individual and collective experience.
