Filmic: BEAM Live
Please note: this event took place in March 2012
Part I: Windmills Of Your Mind
In homage to Michel Legrand we present an evening of live music and projected art, riffing off The Windmills Of Your Mind, the iconic song from The Thomas Crown Affair scored by Legrand, which earned him the first of three Oscars®. Scott Hendy (Malachai/Boca 45) and DJ Cheeba (Ninja Tune/Solid Steel) will be cutting and splicing audio and video live in the Café/Bar. They will be joined by artist and See No Evil artistic curator Inkie, who will be creating live art on his iPad, projected onto a large screen - in what will be the UK's first live fusion of iPad street art to music.
Head of Programme Mark Cosgrove, said:
'Cinema has been used to capture artists at work - most dramatically in Henri-Georges Clouzot's The Mystery of Picasso (1956) where the artist appeared to paint directly onto the screen. Here you could see the idea develop from single line to finished painting. David Hockney, who embraces technology, is now 'painting' directly onto the screen of an iPad. In this exciting Filmic event we combine both approaches with direct live painting by artist Inkie onto a large screen via projection from his iPad. I look forward to what will be created at BEAM Live.'
Limited edition iPad prints by Inkie will be on display and on sale on the night. BEAM Live Part 1 is presented as part of Filmic in partnership with Bristol Music Foundation and BEAM (Bristol Exchange of Arts and Music).
Free Entry (subject to capacity). Arrive early to avoid disappointment!
