The theater is not a direct copy of reality; it is of another kind of dangerous reality where the principles of life are always just disappearing from beyond our vision. - Wallace Fowlie on Antonin Artaud

Event Horizon was an exhibition as 'occupation' - the staging of an artist-run space unfolding over three months to create a dynamic account of British art at the convergence of sculpture, experimental theatre, and DIY social culture - new commissions by a cross-generational selection of London-based artists working from the 1960s onwards, each charting trajectories within art's dissolution into social experience as 'sculpture becomes event'. Works appeared throughout the season radiating from the Event Horizon Social Club into the adjoining neo-classical spaces, cinema, shop, portico, neighbouring streets and online. The Event Horizon Social Club was an installation and curatorial infrastructure - an artists' café and late-night bar evoking historical spaces of gathering and revolutionary transformation hosting over 30 nights of live events with performances, artist residencies, club nights, music, banquets, and more.
