The Dig : Exploring Deviant Love
The Dig is a late night pop-up event inspired by the underground speakeasies of the 1920s, which showcases work and performances from musicians, poets, artists, film makers, writers, ramblers, thinkers, dreamers and the like. The Dig happens at Passing Clouds, 440 Kingsland Road, E8 4AA (entrance on Richmond Road) and the next opening is Thursday 18th March, 2010.
In March, The Dig celebrates the Spring Equinox by exploring that which makes our weird, wild and wonderful world go around… LOVE. On Thursday 18th March 2010, The Dig will host a night of revelry and debauchery as we dance, drink and rollick our way through every trippy twist and turn of the idea of love, led by Freud’s theories of Deviant Love.
As well as performances from live bands and musicians (listed below), The Dig’s Love Equinox will bring together a host of innovative artists, writers, contemporary dancers, film makers and more to explore every fascinating element of love; from the beautiful, sensual, and erotic through to the dark, dastardly and bizarre.
We are thrilled to announce that EJ Major will exhibit her acclaimed ‘Love Is….’ series, a 7000+ postcard enquiry into love. Rasha Kahil also brings her captivating and progressive work to The Dig, after recent exhibitions at The RoyalAcademy of Arts and at The BFI (British Film Institute).
Expect to see strange and magnificent live art installations, an erotic life drawing class from ‘Burlesque Space’, provocative silent film screenings (a medley of cult, boundary breaking classics, 30’s vintage erotica and risqué artistic shorts) and obscure and deviant imagery as we explore romance, affection, obsession, infatuation, fanaticism, heartbreak and rejection.
