In The Flesh: The Pink Floyd ShowArlington Arts presents:
In The Flesh: The Pink Floyd Show
Arlington Arts Centre, Mary Hare, Newbury

With stunning renditions of Pink Floyd tracks from the albums The Piper at the Gates of Dawn through to A Saucerful of Secrets, Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall, In The Flesh are an accomplished seven-piece band who return to Arlington Arts following great critical acclaim.

This is an authentic excursion into Pink Floyd's most creative period from the mid sixties to early eighties, complimented by saxophones, backing vocalists and full scale laser/light show. We at Arlington Arts are quite wary of most tribute bands but this is an amazing show for all Floyd fans.

J9The Corn Exchange presents:
J9
New Greemham Arts, Newbury

J9 is an installation that incorporates cinematic projection, interactivity and text. The work will be presented in two forms, first as a cinematic loop, projected onto a wall of the gallery and second as an interactive version on a screen.

The installation uses ‘computational video’ software techniques to sequence the video edits. The use of a recurring narrative form is intended to evoke the way in which we map our own internal experience onto diverse locations and cultures as we travel.

The project has toured international shows for the past 3 years including exhibitions in USA, Brazil and Japan.
