To mark the final days of Jimenez Lai's critically acclaimed installation Bureau Spectacular: Three Little Worlds, artist Rachel Pimm has taken up a final residence within the cartoonish metropolis.
Becoming a tenant of Three Little World’s abstracted hotel of ‘super-furniture’ Pimm will explore the mutable meanings, lifestyles and characters architectural environments can prompt and frame, culminating in The Tower of Babble – a public performance expanding on the idea of living as performance and architecture as a stage set, 23 August, 7pm (drinks from 6.30pm).
Join us for this unique performance and witness Pimm and a team of actors activate the space using improvised spoken word, translating and inhabiting the fictional narrative of the exhibition in and amongst the audience.
Free, with prior RSVP to events@architecturefoundation.org.uk. RSVP essential due to limited capacity.
Pimms' residency in Bureau Spectacular’s installation adds to the artist's cumulative live-work project – titled Portfolio both in terms of occupied real estate and the production of an artistic practice. The real-world locations that Rachel has temporarily inhabited are rendered in google sketch-up and collated cumulatively online at www.live-work-portfolio.org where they are left floating autonomously like a virtual campsite of non-homes.
Bureau Spectacular: Three Little Worlds closes this Saturday 25 August, 6pm.
