Detour & LXXIII presents Seasons – Summer 2012
Detour & LXXIII present ‘SEASONS’ // 11 August 2012 at The Blueberry Bar – 2-4 Paul Street, Shoreditch, London, EC2A 4JH // 2pm – Midnight
Detour has teamed up with LXXIII to create a new quarterly event themed ‘Seasons’ and proudly present our second installment, Summer 2012.
Seasons sets to be something more than your usual daytime party; an exploration between electronic music and live art. We’ll be hosting the latest sounds in techno & house music, crafting a musical journey inspired by the current season Summer 2012. This provides a platform for collaborating visual artists to produce artwork inspired by the music. Each season will be host to new visual artists and fresh ideas, transforming your average Saturday afternoon into something special.
For Summer 2012 we have 3 very special collaborating artists;
Morgan Beringer (video artist):
Morgan Beringer is an American video artist based in London, UK. Having spent his school days gaining degrees in both philosophy and art he found his concern with the unexplored conceptual space between still/moving image. The expressive and experimental possibilities therein inspired an ongoing opus of 64 abstract films that continue to expand his distinct perspective upon the medium. Morgan’s work has featured at galleries, festivals, and events in over ten countries in both commercial and artistic contexts.
