A three-night event and international transmission, 3 Evenings takes Somerset House Studios’ distinctive approach to interdisciplinary experimentation beyond the Somerset House walls with three different live performance experiments each night, set within a wider programme of newly commissioned interactive installations.
Participating artists include: Ayoung Kim, Earshot (Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Caline Matar, Fabio Cervi, Renate Baumane, Hyeongji Yang), Gary Zhexi Zhang, Klara Kofen & Cameron Graham, Gazelle Twin, Keiken, Lawrence Lek, Ligia Lewis, Team Rolfes, Xin Liu and more to be confirmed.
3 Evenings playfully reimagines the 1966 event 9 Evenings: Theatre and Engineering, widely regarded as a pivotal moment in the history of artists working with new technologies. Sixty years on from the original event, artists from the Studios community and beyond explore what it means to perform with technology now, in the same radical spirit of experimentation.
Unfolding within the spaces of a former hydraulic power station, echoing the industrial character of the original 1960s venue, this will be a three-night ticketed event offsite at 25 Wapping Wall.
3ETV, an interactive TV channel and evolving digital artwork broadcasting beyond the live event, will extend the project online, in partnership with Pioneer Works (NYC) and HEK (House of Electronic Arts) in Basel.
3 Evenings is supported by Glass Castle Foundation.
Glass Castle Foundation is a philanthropic foundation aiming to provide catalytic support for artists and audiences of the future. We are committed to creating the conditions for extraordinary artists from across disciplines to thrive and experiment freely, and to empowering the infrastructure needed to realise new work that challenges, inspires, and connects us all.
This includes bringing 25 Wapping Wall back to life as a venue where experimental new work can flourish and where audiences have the opportunity to engage deeply with exceptional live arts. Glass Castle Foundation is currently taking the first steps to sensitively restore the building and begin to open it up again to visitors. We see the next eighteen months as a prelude, where a small number of events will take place with trusted cultural partners ahead of, and to inform, major capital development work for the full relaunch of the site.
