TOMORROW THE WORLD
Festival of experimental sound, performance and audiovisual programming.
Tomorrow the World is a West Space project in the form of a mini-festival that focuses on experimental sound, performance and audiovisual programming.
The festival runs across a number of weeks and each weeknight is programmed within a different format. The eclectic line-up involves disparate arts communities, reflecting our aim to survey different experimental (and sometimes just plain mental) interdisciplinary and audiovisual arts practices. Essentially, we have given each artist free reign to do what they want.
The program has been curated and coordinated by Director, Phip Murray, and West Space’s After Hours Committee, a committee that was put together by sound artist Philip Samartzis in 2007 in order to program sound art and experimental music events. We are now broadening the focus in order to support more diverse and interdisciplinary programming at West Space, alongside our core exhibition program. This is the first Tomorrow the World festival and we intend to make it an annual event as well as programming other related events throughout the year.
We hope you enjoy the festival and encourage you to explore a range of evenings. The program will give you a calendar and an overview of each event, but we encourage you to look on the website for further information.
Although every event is special, we have two grand finales to finish the inaugural Tomorrow the World festival. On Saturday October 31 (Halloween!) we will throw a horror-themed party that will feature performances by Dr. Bikini, Mink Engine and DJ Ransom playing Italian horror soundtracks in his dancefloor mix. On the following Sunday, Philip Samartzis will be a captain of a different kind, as he takes us on a cruise down the Maribyrnong River featuring a site-specific sound performance.
Enjoy.
Phip Murray, Director, and the After Hours Committee: Philip Samartzis (convenor), Eamon Sprod, Camilla Hannan, Marco Cher-Gibard, Que Nguyen.
