Marilyn Arsem: Ceremony [1]
Ceremony [1]

at Safehouse 1&2, 139 Copeland Road, London SE15 3SN
(nearest station is Peckham Rye)Rd, London SE15 3SN. The nearest station is Peckham Rye.
On the midsummer weekend, Future Ritual presents Ceremony [1], a day of durational performances in a pair of dilapidated Victorian houses in South East London. Slow actions by artists Marilyn Arsem, Sandra Johnston, Helena Goldwater and Devika Bilimoria will unfold in long form performances evocative of memory, decay, and endurance. As the year turns, we invite some long breaths, attuning with these old spaces, and inviting reflection and connection.
Ceremony [1] is the first event in a year-long programme of activities curated by Future Ritual, including workshops and reading groups, exploring time, the transference of energy and memory and the potential of contemporary art as modes of ceremony.
