NEW EVENTS!!! in London.

Le Jardin: an event- I.C.A, Tuesday June 30th, 20.00h.
Le Jardin:an exhibition and SAPROPHILES â?? parasite actionâ?? -  Stockwell 
Studios,  Annie McCall Hospital.  39 Jeffreys Road ( London SW4). 
Private view, July 2nd, 6-8pm. Open July 3rd-July 5th, 6-10pm.



Le Jardin is a new event exploring several levels of creative 
interaction between Technology, Culture and Nature, devised and curated 
by Joanna Krysa and Adrian Palka. 
At the I.C.A, diverse works involving such diverse elements as British 
soil samples, technologically influenced music and images, sound 
collages and Super 8 projections are a showcase of  the work of the 
following artists :  Fabienne Audeoud, Janek Koza, Harry Palmer, Wofram 
der Spyra, Tod and Lucy Casson, Hallam Lewis, Greg Miller, Adrian Palka, 
Tony Bassett, Alistair Hadley and Simon Miles.
  Inspired by the secluded beauty of the garden at the former Annie 
McCall Maternity Hospital, Stockwell, South London, the show sets out to 
span the current tensions between the global and the local, the urban 
and the green, high and low technologies. Challenging young artists from 
Germany, Poland, Singapore and London, apply their unique perspectives 
to the specific, local nuances of the site. The participating artists 
include Matthias Rexford and Wolfram der Spyra ( with a musical 
greenhouse that could be seen in Documenta X) ; Alistair Hadley (with 
â??HY DRAW LIC Hotelâ?? )  ;Woon Tien Wei ( sound installation ) ; Monika 
Duda ( space-transforming installation) and Janek Koza ( whose paintings 
explore the contentious relations between the natural and the 
artificial).
The show, which aims to attract a wide audience, will trace the 
curiously public, yet personal atmosphere of the site, which still 
lingers from the era in which the garden was used for immediate post 
natal recuperation by new mothers and their babies. A mood now under 
threat from encroaching urban blight.
This show will be the site of the first intervention in the â?? 
SAPROPHILESâ?? series of  â?? parasite actions â?? , showing Ibon Cormenzanaâ??s  
two-minute film  â?? Half Moon â??. Saprophiles are those parasites that 
live only where there is death.  Therefore, all of the interventions in 
this series have been selected on the grounds of their very particular 
approach to the subject of mortality, and fit in a wider project, 
entitled â??Vanitasâ??, that is being developed throughout 1998 and 1999. 
This project is curated by Elena Vallet.
