For the 2020 LIVE Programme, Frieze will present The Institute of Melodic Healing (IMH), an “institute of sound and performance” located at 9 Cork St, London and broadcast online from 6–11 October.
Curated by Victor Wang (王宗孚), the programme will last for 111 hours, rethinking the parameters of live art during a time when distance, the body, and movement are regulated in post-Covid Britain. The IMH aims to promote community and healing by thinking through sound and body, to emphasize that listening and feeling is as important as seeing, and to support artistic experimental development.
The Institute of Melodic Healing features Alvaro Barrington, Mandy El-Sayegh, Cécile B. Evans, Denzil Forrester, Anthea Hamilton, Haroon Mirza and Zadie Xa & Benito Mayor Vallejo
This temporary institute at 9 Cork St brings together eight UK-based artists to experiment and work together, through a series of installations and events over six days. All performances are distributed across three floors – occurring at separate times, and online –to keep within current health and safety measures.
