SUMMARY:Read With Us!  John Ruskin\, The King of the Golden River (1851)
DESCRIPTION:  \nSat 2\, 9\, 16\, 23\, 30 November\n10–11am | Free\nRecommended for ages 9–11 years \nJohn Ruskin\, The King of the Golden River (1851)\, illustrated by Quentin Blake for a new 2019 edition \n  \nJoin us over five Saturdays in November for a chapter a week of John Ruskin’s The King of The Golden River. Written in 1841 and then published ten years later\, Ruskin’s story tells of Treasure Valley\, the natural resources and beauty of which are diminished by the greed of two brothers Hans and Schwarz. Written as a fable\, Ruskin’s story might seem more relevant than ever in its understanding of how the actions of man impact upon the earth and its resources\, and that these are powerful ideas for children and young people to grasp. \nA copy of this book was owned by local doctor Thomas B Grierson\, and listed as #502 in the index made of his museum library in 1965.

SUMMARY:Laughter in Literature
DESCRIPTION:  \nSummer closing event\nReading Workshop\nLaughter in Literature with Dr Andrew Dean \nIn this two-hour workshop\, we will discuss laughter in literature\, from Miguel de Cervantes to Thomas Carlyle to contemporary New Zealand poet Hera Lindsay Bird. \nAndrew Dean will select a number of short extracts\, which will provide the starting point for the session. Together\, we will ask: how might a literary history of laughter help us to understand the value of art? What is the place of pleasure in literary appreciation? And how might laughter relate to politics and morality? \n8 places | Free\nBooking essential\nReadings available to those who book \nDr Andrew Dean is currently a Junior Research Fellow in the Institute for Advanced Research at University College London. He has studied at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand and at the University of Oxford. Some of Andrew’s work has explored how humour may disturb serious-minded claims about historical experience and appropriate kinds of remembering. As part of his current fellowship\, Andrew has been organising seminars and events that explore the institutions\, cultures\, histories\, and psychologies of laughter.

SUMMARY:Screening and Q&A  Ittarikitari - To & Fro
DESCRIPTION:Ittarikitari – To & Fro: A programme of artists’ films\n(Japan / UK)\n£4 | Booking advised via Eventbrite or contact us: info@campleline.org.uk | +44 (0) 1848 331000 \nIndependent curator Susan Christie will introduce artist Neville Gabie and present a special programme of artists’ films\, featuring recent work by Gabie and short performance films by a number of experimental artists’ collectives from Japan. \n‘Japan has endured major events – the great earthquake\, the sarin gas attack\, the tsunami and nuclear disaster of 2011. The devastating and deeply felt impacts of the tsunami\, in particular\, have had a fundamental impact on Japanese society and how artists see themselves and their role within community. New artists collectives have been emerging whose work is experimental\, radical\, surprising and who are making their voices heard through action and performance. It has been incredibly inspiring to witness this and to be able to share with audiences in Scotland.’ \nThroughout the selected work there is a strong emphasis on improvisational performance and extreme physicality in what may appear to be\, on occasion\, absurd or inherently dangerous situations. The artists’ approaches will intrigue dance audiences\, as well as appeal to people who are passionate about our place and relationship with the environment. \nFollowing the screenings artist Neville Gabie and Susan Christie will be in conversation. \n  \nAbout the artists \nWith a background in sculpture\, Neville Gabie’s practice has always been driven by specific locations or situations caught in a moment of change. Highly urbanized or distantly remote\, his work is a response to the vulnerability of place. Gabie’s interest is in establishing a working relationship within a particular community as a means of considering its physical\, cultural or emotional geography. Neville was born in Johannesburg\, South Africa and studied an MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art\, London 1986/88. He is represented by Danielle Arnaud Gallery\, London. \nExperiments in Black and White XXV is a filmed artist performance involving chopping domestic furniture. The work is one of a series of performance films under the title of Experiments in Black and White. Initiated whilst artist in residence at Bristol University work with climate change scientists\, the work is a response to our need for certainties in an uncertain world. \nPainting was made for Croxteth Hall Liverpool in response to Robert Tressell’s book ‘The Ragged trousered Philanthropist’. The book is a critical text in the formation of the Labour movement and Trade Unions. Robert Tressell was a painter/decorator who died in poverty in Liverpool and is buried in a pauper’s grave. The book was published posthumously. \nFounded in 2006\, contact Gonzo is an improvisational performance group based in Osaka\, Japan. The collective has developed a specific mode of contact improvisation that borrows from various sources including martial arts. Their practice involves physical strength and agility\, and relies upon the trusting relationships within the group. contact Gonzo balances elements of contemporary dance and performance\, and creates highly experimental and unexpected work that surprises and amazes audiences. \nhyslom is a three-member collective consisiting of Itaru Kato\, Fuminori Hoshino\, Yuu Yoshida\, formed in 2009. hyslom turns “field-play”\, their method for physically and playfully experiencing a given environment\, into video\, photography\, and performative artwork. The group further develops the memories of “field-play” into a wide array of other media\, including sculpture\, theatre\, and film. \nhyslom has spent the last 10 years regularly exploring a particular landscape\, which has become a large-scale housing site\, to document and interact with the changes that have been taking place. Their work is highly physical and often surprising; they use their bodies in unexpected locations and in challenging ways to maintain a deep connection with the land. At the end of 2018 a large survey show spanning a decade of their practice was exhibited for the first time in Japan. \nChim↑Pom is an artist collective formed in 2005 in Tokyo with members Ryuta Ushiro\, Yasutaka Hayashi\, Ellie\, Masataka Okada\, Motomu Inaoka\, and Toshinori Mizuno. Several weeks after the tsunami of 2011\, members of Chim↑Pom travelled to Fukushima. With young fishermen from the local community\, they made an improvised performance KI-AI 100 (100 Cheers). Ki-ai is a martial arts term for a shout that is used to focus energy and breath before an attack. This filmed action symbolises the way Chim↑Pom respond to situations with urgency\, humour and warmth.

SUMMARY:Live Performance  Florian Kaplick
DESCRIPTION:Kurt Schwitters’ Ursonate Performed by Florian Kaplick \nLive performance\nFree | Booking advised via Eventbrite or contact us: info@campleline.org.uk | +44 (0) 1848 331000 \nFlorian Kaplick will perform Kurt Schwitters’ sound poem Ursonate\, a vocal piece consisting of four movements\, an overture and finale. Schwitters began writing Ursonate in 1922 and first performed it in 1925 before publishing it in 1932 as ‘Sonate in Urlauten’ (Sonata in Primordial Sounds). Comprising repeated abstract sounds that involve physical vocal performance\, Schwitters noted: ‘The fourth movement\,long-running and quick\, comes as a good exercise for the reader’s lungs.’ Kaplick will also read some shorter Schwitters poems in English/German\, including a new interpretation of Schwitters’ famous poem An Anna Blume (1919). A musician and performance artist as well as a psychiatrist and lecturer\, Florian Kaplick has a special interest in Schwitters’ sound poetry. \nThis event is also part of both  Insiders/Outsiders\, a nationwide arts festival taking place from March 2019 to March 2020 to celebrate refugees from Nazi Europe and their contribution to British culture.

Invention for Destruction\, based on the writings of Jules Verne\, is his most beloved work and is still the most commercially successful Czech film ever produced. Wildly inventive\, and breaking new ground in its combination of live-action\, animation and design\, it created a ‘steampunk’ aesthetic decades ahead of its time.  \nZeman’s film is both a heartfelt homage and love letter to Jules Verne’s wonderful tales of science and adventure\, and a powerful statement against man’s propensity for self-destruction. \nNB.

SUMMARY:Summer exhibition preview
DESCRIPTION:Charlie Hammond | FARM WEEDS\nDavid Osbaldeston | DOUBLE ACT\n  \nPLEASE JOIN US FOR OUR SUMMER Exhibition Preview\n  \n\nExhibitions run from Sat 13 July to Sat 14 Sept 2019 \nThursday-Saturday\, 11am-5pm or by appointment \nAdmission free \nAt the centre of our summer 2019 edition are two exhibitions – David Osbaldeston’s DOUBLE ACT and Charlie Hammond’s FARM WEEDS – which comprise new bodies of work made for CAMPLE LINE.  \nIn response to the theme of laughter\, David Osbaldeston has produced a new series of printed works for our upstairs space – UNTITLED (Generalised Laughter Series) – which feature propped abstract forms alongside descriptors that allude to the dynamics of the comedic duo or double act. At two metres in height\, these works have been made in parallel with Somewhere Between My Finger and Thumb\, a new sequence of small gouache paintings the artist has made using pages from the 1875 book The Philosophy of Laughter by George Vasey. Osbaldeston has said: ‘the works come from my interest in how language operates and how a meaning can be produced through different forms of labels or names … I have always worked thematically in relation to how language operates and its associative power’. \nCharlie Hammond’s FARM WEEDS is the first exhibition to feature in our downstairs space\, comprising a new group of paintings on paper\, described by the artist as ‘an imaginary proposal for an imaginary mural’. Hammond draws loosely on a range of sources\, from Illinois farmer James W. Cadle’s 1970s design for a ‘Flag of Earth’ to a small book published by Shell in 1958 entitled Farm Weeds: An Aid to Their Recognition\, as well as the everyday things that populate his studio and the wider setting of Cample itself. Featuring flags\, logos\, hands\, newspapers and fungi to name but a few elements: ‘all of these things start to become the ingredients and then somehow by transforming them into large-scale paintings\, they take on different meanings’. \n  \n

Following the path of those seeds between the Arctic and Lebanon\, Jumana Manna’s beautiful film unfolds a matrix of human and non-human lives across those two remote places\, following a large-scale international initiative and its local implementation in the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon\, carried out primarily by young migrant women. \nManna has said: ‘As someone raised in Jerusalem\, educated in Norway this geographic connection and the symbolic resonances of the story caught my attention. It inspired me to build a narrative…which takes these two tiny spots on the earth\, connected by a transaction of seeds\, as a starting point.’  \n  \n

Filmmaker Peter Nestler embarked on a historical journey in search of traces of his grandfather. Tod und Teufel is a video essay about the expeditions of Eric von Rosen ( a subject of Jacqueline Hoang Nguyen’s Black Atlas)\, and illustrated with photographs he took alongside texts from diaries\, publications and letters he wrote. \n‘Nestler has said that he was reluctant to make a film about his grandfather (‘his path along the abyss gave me an eerie feeling’)\, but the weight and power of the existing materials convinced him. Von Rosen not only wrote scientific books and anthropological studies\, but also documented all his trips with photographs and diary annotations. He made amateur movies\, collected objects and utensils\, and wrote political commentaries for the press’ – Cristina Álvarez López

SUMMARY:SCREENING  Allan Sekula and Noel Burch  The Forgotten Space (2010)
DESCRIPTION:  \n(2010\, NL | Austria\, 112mins\, some English subtitles) \n£3 | £2\nBooking advised | info@campleline.org.uk | Eventbrite | 01848 331 000 \nAt the heart of this film essay is the shipping container\, now one of the most important mechanisms for the global spread of capitalism. Crossing oceans and visiting numerous major ports\, the film follows the shipping container along the international supply chain\, mapping the complex networks that connect producers to consumers\, and increasingly\, producing nations to consuming ones. We meet the invisible labourers who staff the cargo ships\, steer the barges\, drive the trucks\, and migrate to the factories\, and those who this system’s efficiency has marginalised. \n‘Far from being the repository of romantic visions of yore\, of great voyages of discovery and adventure\, the sea – thanks to containerisation – is now the prime facilitator of globalised trade\, with all the exploitation\, upheavals and displacements that entails. This new reality is nailed by Burch and Sekula’s film with measured\, eloquent rage’ – Kieron Corless

SUMMARY:EXHIBITION OPENING Jacqueline Hoang Nguyen Maeve Brennan Laura Waddington
DESCRIPTION:  \nSAT 16 MARCH – SAT 25 MAY 2019\nEXHIBITION\nJacqueline Hoàng Nguyen | Maeve Brennan | Laura Waddington \nThursdays 12.30-7pm | Fridays 10am-4pm | Saturdays 11am-5pm | Or by appointment\nFree \nWe are delighted to present Black Atlas (2016)\, a five-part installation by Stockholm-based Canadian artist Jacqueline Hoàng Nguyen. Based on photographs that Nguyen found in the archives of the Museum of Ethnography in Stockholm\, Black Atlas reflects upon the nameless porters and workers who were used to transport an array of material from distant countries to the museum’s storage on behalf of some of its prominent benefactors. \nScreening daily alongside Black Atlas are two films that explore these threads in our contemporary world. Laura Waddington’s film CARGO (2001\, 29 mins) evokes the contradictions of a global freight network that services the movement of goods at the expense of the freedoms of its crew. Based on a six-week journey she made on a container ship with Rumanian and Filipino sailors\, Waddington has said of CARGO‘it falls between reality and fiction. It was a way of showing the limbo these men were living in.’ \nMaeve Brennan’s The Drift (2017\, 50mins) traces the shifting economies of objects in contemporary Lebanon through three individuals: Fakhry\, Mohammed and Hashem. It draws out their embodied knowledge of materials and things –  Fakhry guarding the Roman temple he rebuilt\, Mohammed replacing salvaged car parts as he talks\, Hashem silently repairing ceramic fragments –  in contrast to the exploitative practices we glimpse at the sharper edge of conflict. \n  \nMaeve Brennan\, The Drift (2017\, 50mins\, HD video)\, produced by Spike Island\, Bristol and Chisenhale\, London\, and commissioned by those venues along with The Whitworth\, Manchester\, and Lismore Castle Arts \n Laura Waddington CARGO (2001\, 29mins\, Digibeta)\, commissioned by International Film Festival Rotterdam

SUMMARY:Reading Group #9  Madeleine Thien\, Do Not Say We Have Nothing
DESCRIPTION:  \nCAMPLE LINE Reading Group\nWednesday 6 February\, 7-9pm\nJoin us for tea\, coffee (decaff!) and conversation about our ninth read – Madeleine Thien’s Do Not Say We have Nothing (2016\, Granta\, 480 pages) \nIn Canada in 1990\, ten-year-old Marie and her mother invite a guest into their home: a young woman who has fled China in the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square protests. Her name is Ai-ming. \nAs her relationship with Marie deepens. Ai-ming tells the story of her family in revolutionary China\, from the crowded teahouses in the first days of Chairman Mao’s ascent\, to the Shanghai Conservatory in the 1960s and the events leading to the Beijing demonstrations of 1989. It is a history of revolutionary idealism\, music and silence\, in which three musicians\, the shy and brilliant composer Sparrow\, the violin prodigy Zhuli\, and the enigmatic pianist Kai struggle during China’s relentless Cultural Revolution to remain loyal to one another and to the music they have devoted their lives to. Forced to re-imagine their artistic and private selves\, their fates reverberate through the years\, with deep and lasting consequences for Ai-ming – and for Marie. \nMadeleine Thien is the author of the story collection Simple Recipes (2001) and the novels Certainty (2006) and Dogs at the Perimeter (Granta\, 2012). Her books and stories have been translated into 23 languages. The daughter of Malaysian-Chinese immigrants to Canada\, she lives in Montreal.
