#STSBarbican

Los Angeles-based artist Doug Aitken brings his legendary multi-disciplinary project to the Barbican for 30 days this summer. We invite you to experience this 'living exhibition', which brings together local artists and legends. This inspiring and diverse fusion of leading international and UK-based artists is drawn from the worlds of contemporary art, music, dance, graphic design and film in a jam-packed programme of unmissable events.

 

No two days are the same, with rehearsals, performances and conversations in the Art Gallery, concerts in the Hall, film screenings in the Cinema, vinyl records being pressed, yurt installations in our outside spaces, and in the Curve, a brand new interactive laser commission by digital artist Aaron Koblin and his collaborator Ben Tricklebank. All daytime events are free with special ticketed events every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening.

 

Station to Station at the Barbican builds on Doug Aitken's 2013 Station to Station project, which crossed North America by train, travelling 4,000 miles from the Atlantic to the Pacific over 24 days, creating a platform for cross-disciplinary collaboration through a series of events in major cities and off-the-grid locations. London is its next iteration.

 

Presented in creative partnership with The Vinyl Factory.

 

Marcus Coates:

Answer Painting

Sat - Wed (except 11 and 12 Jul)

 

Putting himself on the spot, artist Marcus Coates offers his painting services to the public with his Answer Painting residency. Coates will consult with members of the public and create a body of work that intriguingly attempts to answer the questions they pose him. Come and post your own question to Marcus or sign up to one of the pre-arranged consultations to take part.
