Camberwell Green, Saturday 2 June 2007, 12-9pm
Bonkersfest! Has worked in partnership with South London Gallery to present four new visual and live art commissions at Bonkfersfest! 07. This strand of the festival programme celebrates a relationship between Creative Routes and the SLG which has developed over the last three years and represents an ambitious move by Creative Routes towards the production of new art works inspired by madness.
RAKSHANDA KHAN AND SOPHIA YADONG HAO: SPIN CYCLE
Spin Cycle is an interactive one-day live artwork and installation at a launderette close to Camberwell Green that will take place during the festival. Spin Cycle explores obsessive or addictive forms of self-expression that offer albeit temporary relief from stressful experiences and painful memories. Khan and Hao will perform a repetitious ritual of washing hands which refers to the phrase “to wash one’s hands of” as a metaphor for a cathartic process of erasing painful memories. In Spin Cycle, the audience is invited to participate in a ritual of cleansing and washing away.
Sophia Yadong Hao is a live artist based in Manchester. Her work attempts to break down boundaries in personal space through interaction and improvisation.
Rakshanda Khan is a graphic designer based in London currently working on a graphic novel aimed at the mental health sector.
