Rebecca Birch: The Yellowing, Part 2 (Bell Mouth)

The Yellowing, Part 2 (Bell Mouth) is a new audio-visual performance, that brings the architecture and history of the Swiss Church into dialogue with the current life of a bell mouth intersection on the A583 in Lancashire. This bell mouth, as the gateway to a fracking site has, over the past two years, become inhabited as a place of resistance, reflection and togetherness.

The performance takes as its starting point the history of female social support work at the Swiss Church. It connects this to the activities in the bell mouth on Preston New Road, Lancashire, where the local community, particularly many older women, have held vigil since work on the site commenced in January 2017. During these two years, the site has played host to silent contemplation, knitting circles, speeches and song and dance, against a backdrop of frequently violent intervention from the police and security staff. For many of these women, these activities are their first active political engagements, made later in life, and challenging their existing belief systems.

Akin to a narrated live film, the performance will extend methods used in Birch’s previous performances—video, projections and live narration—to gradually transform the architecture of the Church through images, sound and objects. Refreshments will be served in the foyer throughout the evening.


The Yellowing, Part 2 (Bell Mouth) is a chapter in Birch's wider project, The Yellowing, which connects women’s histories, landscapes and sub-surface geologies. The Yellowing, Part 1was shown in May 2018 at The Grundy Art Gallery, Blackpool, as part of Fig-Futures. The project also includes a forthcoming feature-length film, Undermine, that follows the daily lives of the community of women affected by fracking in Lancashire, investigating the psychological implications of being undermined, environmentally, democratically and emotionally. 

The Yellowing, Part 1 was commissioned by Fig-Futures, and supported by Art Fund, Arts Council England and Outset. The sister feature film currently in development, Undermine,has been supported by Arts Council England, FLAMIN (New Approaches) and Lancaster Arts. 

Rebecca Birch has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally. Her solo exhibitions include; Lichen hunting on the west coast, Fig-2 at ICA London, and the days run away, commissioned by Camden Arts Centre and Whitescreenat The Agency Gallery. Her group exhibitions include, Matt’s Galleryat Black Rock, Test Run at Modern Art Oxford, Multiplexing at LUX & PeckhamPlex, London. She is the recipient of a number of residencies and awards including, CCA Creative Lab Residency, Glasgow and LUX Associate Artists Programme. 

The Yellowing, Part 2: Bell Mouthis part of Being and Appearing, a programme of contemporary art curated for the Swiss Church in London by Kirsty White - beingandappearing.org.uk.

Visit to the British Museum

Join us for the current exhibition at the British Museum exploring the Assyrian empire and its powerful emperor Ashurbanipal. The history of the Assyrians is closely linked to the history of the kingdom of Israel that is at the centre of the Old Testament. By learning more about the Assyrians we will understand the context of the Old Testament better and gain deeper understanding for some of the biblical texts too.

From the webpage of the British Museum:

“King Ashurbanipal of Assyria (r. 669-c. 631 BC) was the most powerful man on earth. He described himself in inscriptions as ‘king of the world’, and his reign from the city of Nineveh (now in northern Iraq) marked the high point of the Assyrian empire, which stretched from the shores of the eastern Mediterranean to the mountains if western Iran.”

Please sign up by the 2nd of February to be included in the group ticket by emailing Carla (carla.maurer@swisschurchlondon.org.uk). You can also decide to join at a later stage, but you would then have to buy your own ticket at the British Museum.

Meeting point: Wednesday, 13 February, 11:30am in the main entrance hall (allow enough time to go through the security gates).

SHOSTAKOVICH Chamber Symphony Op. 110

Itamar Zorman, violin

The recipient of an Avery Fisher Career Grant and a Borletti-Buitoni Trust award, joint winner of the 2011 International Tchaikovsky Competition, Itamar Zorman has appeared with, among others, the American Symphony Orchestra in Carnegie Hall, Het Gelders Orkest in the Concertgebouw, the Tokyo Symphony in Suntory Hall, as well as the Jerusalem Symphony, Israel Philharmonic, Haifa Symphony, Polish Radio Chamber Orchestra, Südwestdeutsches Kammerorchester, Philharmonie Baden Baden, St. Petersburg Philharmonic, and Russian State Symphony Orchestra. His performance with the United Strings of Europe will mark his London debut.

Franck Fontcouberte, conductor

Formerly an orchestral percussionist, Franck Fontcouberte forged his craft with David Robertson, Zoltan Pesko, Armin Jordan and Pierre Boulez. Professor of Orchestral Conducting at the Conservatoire for the Region of Montpellier, Franck is Principal Conductor and Artistic Director of Orchestre ‘Contrepoint’, Director of the Chorale de Sète and Artistic Director of the festival ‘MusicaSète’. He has been invited to conduct in Belgrade, Kotor, London, Rome, Florence, Athens, Istanbul, Barcelona, Valencia, Salzburg, Riga, Prague, Szombathely, Durban and Johannesburg. He has recorded a number of CDs and DVDs, including Liszt’s Coronation Mass, Verdi’s Requiem, Mozart’s Symphony No. 29 and Great Mass in C Minor, Puccini’s Messa di Gloria and Bartok’s The Miraculous Mandarin.

Arturo Corrales, composer

Born in El Salvador but established in Switzerland, Arturo Corrales pursued composition studies in Geneva and Lugano with Eric Gaudibert, Nicolas Bolens, Michael Jarrell, Nadir Vassena; electroacoustics with Rainer Boesch, Luis Naón, Eric Daubresse; and orchestral conducting with Giorgio Bernasconi. Winner of the Edmund Pendleton Prize in 2004, co-founder of the Ensemble Vortex in Geneva, Corrales has a Masters in Musicology from Paris VIII Univeristy where he studied with the composer Horacio Vaggione.

Imbued with a resolutely experimental approach, his creative work is often inspired by ethnic and popular sources. Constantly attentive to the formal coherence of his works and to the control of their projection in space and time, he wants to facilitate the expression and perception of a “liveable and human” music.

Alongside his activities as a composer, performer and conductor, Arturo Corrales teaches the guitar and is a professor of composition and analysis at the Conservatoire Populaire in Geneva; he was recently awarded a Doctorate in Musicology from the University of Geneva, with a very honorable mention and unanimous praise from the jury.

Breakfast on the Steps

Breakfast on the Steps is an important part of the week at the Swiss Church. It is a time when we serve our community and welcome people into the church by serving food and offering fellowship. We make an effort to be present and spend time with the people who come along. It is always a joy to see the variety of people who come to join our community activities. 

We gratefully accept donations of winter footwear and warm clothing, to pass onto our guests when they need them. 

If you would like to volunteer, we would love that!

London City Pilgrimage

Perhaps we associate pilgrimage rather with rural areas than with a metropolis, and yet to discover a city from a pilgrim’s perspective has its very own charm. In collaboration with Reverend Michael Schaar from the pilgrimage centre in Zurich, we invite you to put on your hiking shoes and to join us on this spiritual journey. A group from Zurich will travel to London to get to experience our city in a new light. It would be wonderful if some members of the Swiss Church and the Swiss community in London would join the group to build new friendships and tell our visitors more about life in London.


Programme


Tuesday, 27 August:

From Limehouse to Angel along Regent’s Canal. Visit of St Paul Old Ford Church, Victoria Park and St James Church.


Wednesday, 28 August:

Parkland Walk from Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace. Visit of Highgate Cemetery.


Thursday, 29 August:

Meeting at the Swiss Church in London (morning). Street pilgrimage in Central London or free time (afternoon).


Friday, 30 August:

Along the Thames from Shepperton to Hampton Court (Weybridge Ferry route).



Members and friends of the Swiss Church can participate in the whole programme or join in for individual days. We ask for a donation of £10 per day. Bring your own lunch. Evening meal in a restaurant (optional).


To sign up please contact Carla (carla.maurer@swisschurchlondon.org.uk) by 15 July. We are also looking for volunteers to welcome the group at the Swiss Church on Thursday, 29 August.
