#Communepresents Frieze Week Takeover

TWO EXPLOSIVE NIGHTS of interventions, cocktails, performance and sensational dancing for Frieze week.

WHY?  #COMMUNEPRESENTS is a series of residencies and events spotlighting and showcasing an array of inspirations, love affairs, dialogues, rumors and catalytic liaisons that have stimulated change within the #COMMUNEEAST landscape.

Presenting a moment of explosion in the Frieze calendar: This group of #COMMUNEEAST artists take residency at the Ace Hotel’s Hoi Polloi to roll their dialog into the night. Existing within this realm for the art throng come celebrate, encounter and experience their presence in force. This East London hub will run for the duration of Frieze, with two main activations on the Wednesday and Friday nights. 

"Come watch, taste, dance, get wet and be #commune-al"

4TH OCTOBER 21:45-1AM  POST-FRIEZE OPENING VIP PARTY
#COMMUNEPRESENTS “Lineal liminal “
Dominic Myatt  X James Cooper X James Massiah 

In collaboration with filmmaker, James Cooper, two previously unseen works, one a collaborative animation and the second a short film, both being screened live as visuals within the architecture of the space, including sheets, bodies, and ceilings all embracing the eye line of the viewer.

The films together explore the boundaries of mark making within the abject and fetish, a figure is seen in submission taking Myatt's ink blind to what he is delivering. The animation then perverts these lines and explores the aesthetics within them, through their movement within the penetration of the human body.

The space is active with Communal tables which  will be covered in illustrated cloths, traced with fluid lines and writhing contortions from Myatt's pen, designed to be soiled by the diners.
