The first in the 'play the cube' residency series
A Qu Junktions & Cube Cinema Collaboration

Over two nights two singular British artists stake out The Cube Microplex with their intriguing strategies and complex lyricism, grounding and reorientating listeners and watchers alike. Both present works of image and sound that should grip, challenge and replenish in the opening gambit of play the cube, a newly formulated Cube resident scheme.

Both nights of this cross platform residency will host screening of feature films by Luke Fowler, each concerning two eminent and radical iconoclasts: the 2012 Turner Prize-nominated All Divided Selves centres on Scottish psychiatry reformer and provocateur R.D. Laing, while The Poor Stockinger... reflects on the life and time of Marxist historian and educationalist E.P. Thompson . On the musical front, a series of live musical performances will feature Richard Youngs on various instruments/voices, including a residential collaboration between Luke and Richard, plus a live discussion and Q&A.

play the cube is designed to slow things down a little, so the process and depth of an artist's work can be desired and admired over a more ample timeframe and in more detail.

A cherry-picked wishlist of artisans and craftsfolk will be invited to enter the Cube to employ the spaces, specs and conditions unique to the building, all towards their own highly distinctive creative ends. The Cube workforce are available to work and play. Each residency will include a built-in period of public exposure for the artist and their work, and the artist is encouraged to develop a unique product/memento created during the timespan.
