Tim Etchells
For the finissage of his solo show ‘Continue without Accepting’, Tim Etchells presents two untitled performances improvised specifically for the occasion. Performances will take place at 2pm and 4pm. Duration 20 minutes.
Using fragments of language, exploring the semantics of spoken words alongside their musical and textural qualities, Etchells’ solo performances are unmissable fragile, virtuosic events, dialoguing with the spaces in which they are presented and the intimate proximity of audiences.
Performances will take place at 2pm and 4pm. Duration 20 minutes.
Tim Etchells’ performances of this kind have been presented internationally, including at David Roberts Foundation, London, UK; Artissima, Turin, IT; FIAC, Palais De Decouverte, Paris, FR; Tate Modern, London, UK; The Meštrović Pavilion, Zagreb, CR; The Showroom, London, UK; Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna, AT; Ebensperger, Berlin, DE; PACT, Essen, DE; Plymouth Arts Centre, UK.
