ARCHWAY NIGHT, ROLLER LIGHTS
WEDNESDAY 18TH MARCH 2009
6.30-8.30pm
COME SKATING AND ILLUMINATE THE DARK NIGHT AND ARCHITECTURE OF ARCHWAY
at
the outdoor premiere of Hilary Powell’s film ‘Light Years Away’ with roller skating
under Archway Tower
Archway Underground lower (Highgate) exit, Junction Road, London, N19 5RQ
ARCHWAY NIGHTS, ROLLER LIGHTS is a project by Hilary Powell commissioned by Alight, a long-term objective for temporary artworks that explore and reveal Archway with light. Alight is a partnership between AIR (http://www.archwayinvestigationsandresponses.org/alight) at Byam Shaw School of Art, University of the Arts and London Borough of Islington with support from Transport for London.
Throughout February 2009 strange events have been occurring beneath the foreboding Archway Tower as skaters have come from miles around to don mobile LED’s and take part in a film to illuminate Archway.
The final film (Light Years Away) produced will be screened back into the space of its making onto a perfect pre-existing 16:9 urban cinema screen in the form of a large white wall of an adjacent office building on Wednesday March 18th 2009 6.30-8.30pm accompanied by a roller rink beneath the projection.
Hilary Powell consistently works with overlooked or contentious urban sites - her previous film ‘The Games’ staged a surreal alternative Olympics amid the sites set to become the 2012 Olympic Park in February 2007. It has screened widely, is in the BFI collections and won Audience Award at the East End Film Festival 2008. She works closely with Dan Edelstyn of Optimistic Productions (http://www.optimisticproductions.co.uk).
