    Sue Tompkins

    Performance: Hallo Welcome to Keith Street
    (a version)

    Saturday 17 September, 2.30pm

    Using rhythm and repetition, layering, juxtaposition, inversion, elaboration, stresses and pauses, Sue Tompkins's dynamic spoken-word performances re-energise language and give it new meaning. Her material - amounting to hundreds of pages of meticulously ordered and edited texts - is gathered from literature and everyday life. Apart from the ring-binder containing her texts, her only other accompaniments are a stool (on which to prop her file) and a microphone.

    24-hour Screening: The Clock

    Noon Saturday 22 October to Noon Sunday 23 October

    Make the most of this rare opportunity to see Christian Marclay's highly acclaimed film in a single screening. The Clock is a montage of clips from several thousand films, showing scenes featuring clocks and watches or situations indicating a particular time of day. Presenting an extraordinary patchwork history of film, it also functions as an actual timepiece, always conveying the correct time, minute by minute, wherever it is shown.

    Gail Pickering

    Screening-performance: Sixty Six Signs of Neon

    Saturday 5 November, 6pm

    Gail Pickering's performed fictions take specific historical sites or political events as points of reference. For British Art Show 7, she presents a performance transmitted from a remote studio. This live film montage extends her interest in forms of socio-political theatre whilst working within the tradition of live television broadcasting.
