Coach at Future Contemporaries Party    

Cosa.

Coach e The Serpentine Galleries hanno presentato una line-up spettacolare di performance per l’edizione 2015 del  Future Contemporaries Party, l’annuale raccolta fondi organizzata dalla Serpentine che per la prima volta è stata alla Serpentine Sackler  Gallery.

Come parte della serie di concerti del Coach Backstage, il gruppo Warpaint ha suonato un set bellissimo compresa la loro hit Undertowand No way out dal loro nuovo album, che ha stregato il pubblico. C’è stata anche altra musica live con Iain Woodswhose (il suo debut album Psychologist è uscito a Dicembre) e la serata ha continuato con DJ sets di Nick Grimshaw, Hugo Heatcote, Mimi Xu (Misty Rabbit), Yasmina Dexter (Pandora’s Jukebox), and Harriet Verney.

Lo spirito anarchico della poesia beat è stata riportata in vita da Wholly Communion Verbal Disco.

Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-Director della Serpentine Galleries ha aperto la serata insieme a Ben Eastham, Editor of The White Review literary magazine. La performance ha compreso alcuni fra i nomi più interessanti della nuova scena di musicisti e poeti, fra cui Rachael Allen, Kit Buchan, Harry Burke, Sophie Collins, Harland Miller, The Perverts e Sam Riviere. Michael Horovitz, rappresentante del movimento del British Beat, co-organizzatore del leggendario Poetry Internationale all’ Albert Hall (1965) e fondatore dei Poetry Olympics, ha fatto una performance incredibile recitando The Ghost of Summer.

Gli ospiti hanno avuto l’opportunità di interagire con una installazione site-specific realizzata per l’evento dall’artista Gary Baseman, che ha collaborato con Coach sulla loro collezione spring 2015.
