Art Night – Xu Zhen “Physique of Consciousness”

Art Night is a free contemporary arts festival that will transform London for one night on 2 July 2016. Ten international artist’s projects, including six new site-specific commissions, feature in a cross-disciplinary programme of art, architecture, dance, design and music – forming a unique trail across central London, from 5pm until the early hours.

The first tickets for Art Night are available via the ICA website from 9 May. A second release is also planned for 7 June!
Art Night 2016 is curated by the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) and generously supported by international auction house PHILLIPS.

Tickets are required for the following projects:

Artist and choreographer Alexandra Bachzetsis will present two performances in the rooms of Two Temple Place, a highly ornate building designed by neo-gothic architect John Loughborough Pearson.

A series of performance still lives by Nina Beier will be staged in a luxury at 190 Strand by St Edward, altering the reality of the lavish domestic space.

Celia Hempton will transform part of the iconic brutalist building 180 Strand with a series of site- specific wall paintings, creating a theatrical scene, in collaboration with The Vinyl Factory.

The uncanny disused Jubilee line platform in Charing Cross Underground station will be transformed into a sensory installation by Koo Jeong A, co-commissioned with Art on the Underground.

The UK premiere of the performance Reanimation by artist Joan Jonas and jazz pianist and composer Jason Moran will be staged in Southwark Cathedral.

Historic rooms in the iconic Admiralty Arch will be taken over with an installation by Turner Prize-winning artist Laure Prouvost.
