MiddleSea by Zineb Sedira, invitation to Private View on Weds 10 Sept, 7pm til late at The Wapping ProjectHi Manifesto Club Members, You are all cordially invited to this exhibition which I've been involved in producing. Zineb Sedira's MiddleSea is a single screen film installation, shot on super 16mm colour film, and a series of lightboxes. Sedira explores a traveller's poetic and dream-like journey by sea. A man wanders in a somnambulant state, hypnotized by the immensity of the horizon, alone amidst a plate of water. Zineb Sedira was born in Paris, lives in London and works between Paris, London and Algiers. MiddleSea is produced by Manick Govinda, Artsadmin. Exhibition continues from 11 Sept - 19 Oct, 12:00-22:30hrs daily, except Sundays to 17:30hrs The Wapping Project, Wapping Hydraulic Power Station, Wapping Wall, London E1W 3SG 020 7680 2080

The Manifesto Club supports:'Enlightenment is humanity's emergence from self-imposed immaturity. Dare to know! Have courage to use your own understanding!' Immanuel Kant 'What characterises man is his extreme abundance of imagination; therefore, that man is a fantastic animal and that universal history is the gigantic, continuous and insistent effort to go, little by little, putting some order into the crazy fantasy.' José Ortega y Gasset |
