No Lectures at Western Works
The John Pemberton Lecture Theatres are as close as we can get to the site of Western Works, Cabaret Voltaire's recording studio that once stood on the corner of Regent Street and Portobello. No Lectures... aims to explore the space that remains in 2014. Contemporary musicians will draw on the material recorded here while writers and academics will discuss some of the ideas that travel around the place. Join residents and workers past, present and future in experimenting with art and Sheffield, music and technology, health and disease. The evening will feature live performances from Blood Sport, Juxtavoices, BHS and more, video installations and panel talks, with much help from The Audacious Art Experiment, an industrious DIY record label based in Sheffield.
We’re also very excited to announce that former members of Clock DVA, Cabaret Voltaire and In The Nursery will be performing an exclusive collaboration as ‘IBBERSON’ for the event.
IBBERSON are;
Stephen Mallinder
Simon Elliott-Kemp
Charlie Collins
Michael Somerset Ward
Nigel Humberstone
