Not that Romantic stooopid! Romanticism! Ahhh! The nihilistic adolescent apocalyptic fantasy. Romanticism! the un-dead impossible to destroy wading in blood for abstract principles stoking a blood lust that could never be sated… God bothers truth deniers their kingdom on earth has come and gone the horror the horror and yet… they multiply and false prophecise and sanctify zombic grooming of the gullible. We don’t want another sermon, we want a song , a song to dance to, a dance for the new enlightenment.

ROMANTIC MALADY Edition 10 of AT HOME WITH THE LUDSKIS
Curated by Granny Ludski.
Bringing together Artists from all over the world, at all career stages and levels of fame and from as many creative fields as possible, to create an evening of Avant Garde Art for the Movie House Screen and the Post Contemporary Age
ARTISTS dead, alive, international, local, above and beyond
Andy Warhol / Jenny Holzer / Nam June Paik /
Chris Burden / Frans Zwartjes / Olivier de Sagazan /
Basim Magdy / Ming Wong / Olaf Breuning /
Mario Montez / Disinformation / Loulou Reloulou /
Meg Mosley / Baby Lame / Jose Campos /
Julie Marsh / house of o’dwyer / Trixie Malixie /
‘A truly alternative happening at this Dalston cinema space.’ Time Out
‘At Home with the Ludskis’ breaks away from exhibition tradition to explore an art gallery / cinema hybrid that aims to at a communal experience of Art that is thought-provoking, visually stimulating and emotionally involving. The pedestrian and mundane is pushed aside to passionately embrace the Post-Contemporary.
‘Your event looks lovely!’ Annie Sprinkle
Andy Warhol
was a highly prolific filmmaker. On the big screen we will show a number of screen tests and Mario Montez collaboration.
Jenny Holzer
was the first woman to represent the United States in the Venice Biennale in 1990 and for her pavilion she was awarded the Golden Lion that year.
Nam June Paik
is considered to be the founder of video art. He is a major influence on late 20th-century art and continue to inspire a new generation of artists.
Chris Burden
work is characterized by the idea that the truly important, viable art of the future would not be with objects; the things that you could simply sell and hang on your wall. Instead art would be ephemeral and address political, social, environmental and technological change. Burden, with his shockingly simple, unforgettable, “here and now” performances shook the conventional art world and took this new art form to its extreme.
Frans Zwartjes
is a very peculiar, extraordinary filmmaker. His film all seem to exist completely disconnected from the real world. Power games; hysteria, psychosis and cruelty are among his regular themes. The oeuvre of Zwartjes, once called “the most important experimental filmmaker of his time” by American essayist Susan Sontag.
Mario Montez
In March 2010 Montez was honored by Columbia University’s Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race: Mario is considered one of the most gifted performers of the underground period.
Basim Magdy
The work of Egyptian artist Basim Magdy uses video, painting, slide projection and installation to examine war, information systems, scientific theories and the visual vocabulary of mass media. Positioning notions of progress within systems of humour and doubt, his work is marked by paradox and shifts between demolition and renewal, ruins and reconstruction.
Ming Wong
In his videos and installations, the Berlin-based Singaporean artist Ming Wong explores the intersections of language, identity and performance.
Olivier de Sagazan
is a French artist who uses his body as a canvas in his riveting, sometimes disturbing performance art videos.
Olaf Breuning
as an artist and a person is refreshing, his work is incredibly honest and unfailingly joyous, reflecting the fact that he truly could not be doing anything but making art. His creative process is his life force and it shows. Born in Switzerland, Olaf now lives and works in New York working between film, photography, installation, sculpture, drawing or what ever medium excites him.
Disinformation
core repertoire consists of DJ sets, sound installations, concerts and lectures based on the creative potential of electrical noise from lightning, solar-magnetic storms, live mains electricity, Information Technology and industrial hardware, and forms of “artificial lightning” such as flash, strobe and welding systems.
Meg Mosely
Performer, film-maker, bringing her A-game to a fierce launch of her new perfume.
is a UK based documentary filmmaker and research student at London College of Communication, UAL. Her films addressing notions of place have tended to concentrate upon the social, geographical or political relationship to place. http://julie-marsh.co.uk/
turns fashion into an erotic game. Her label isn’t so much a fashion line as a invitation to performance art play: she turns out huge, oversized clothes that have space for two, three – even four.
http://www.louloureloulou.com/
Baby Lame
Sue Frumin
Performer Writer Film-maker based in London.
The House of O’Dwyer
Artist, Film-maker, Writer & Curator working restlessly with curiosity.
http://houseofodwyer.wordpress.com/
‘Brilliant! Such an incredible use of the cinema! Amazing atmosphere, amazing happenings – loved seeing the Rio filled with wildness.’

‘Your event looks lovely!’ Annie Sprinkle
‘A truly alternative happening at this Dalston cinema space.’ Time Out
Doug Aitken
Widely known for his innovative fine art installations, Doug Aitken is at the frontier of 21st century communication. Utilizing a wide array of media and artistic approaches, Aitken’s eye leads us into a world where time, space, and memory are fluid concepts.
Ryoji Ikeda
Japan’s leading electronic composer and visual artist Ryoji Ikeda focuses on the essential characteristics of sound itself and that of visuals as light by means of both mathematical precision and mathematical aesthetics. Ikeda has gained a reputation as one of the few international artists working convincingly across both visual and sonic media. He elaborately orchestrates sound, visuals, materials, physical phenomena and mathematical notions into immersive live performances and installations.
Cory Arcangel
is a computer artist whose work is concerned with technology’s relationship to culture and the creative process. He is a founding member of BEIGE, a group of computer programmers and enthusiasts who recycle obsolete computers and video game systems to make art and music, and a member of RSG (Radical Software Group).
William Wegman
By the early 70s, Wegman’s work was being exhibited in museums and galleries internationally. In addition to solo shows with Sonnabend Gallery in Paris and New York, Situation Gallery in London and Konrad Fisher Gallery in Dusseldorf , his work was included in such seminal exhibitions as “When Attitudes Become Form,” and “Documenta V” and regularly featured in Interfunktionen, Artforum and Avalanche.
Pipilotti Rist
As an Artist she’s danced topless to the Beatles, made a chandelier from pants and filmed inside the human body.
Yoko Ono (オノ・ヨーコ )
artist and peace activist, known for her work in avant-garde art, music and filmmaking and for her marriage to John Lennon (1969–1980). Ono brought feminism to the forefront in her music. Lennon called her “the most famous unknown artist in the world.
Stefan Holderlein
is a video and installation artist based in Germany who collects objects, people, sounds and themes. For Hoderlein, the future means loss of things past, and this is part of his motivation for saving items from his life. http://www.warhol.org/edu_additional.aspx?id=7030
Moreno Solinas
has worked as a performer with Bonachela Dance Company (The Land of Yes and The Land of No, apprentice), DV8 Physical Theatre (restaging of To Be Straight With You), Stan Won’t Dance (creation and touring of Babel) and Earthfall (creation and touring of The Factory).Since 2007 he has created dance works in collaboration with Igor Urzelai. Moreno and Igor are amongst the founding members of BLOOM! Dance Collective,
performer /designer aka Lisiane Brunet is from Paris, lives in London and makes the most incredible garments. They are hard to describe but the idea is a sort of loose garment with different sleeves and neck holes incorporated. You are meant to share them with one or several people.
Kei Ishikawa
Butoh dancer…. crazy about classical ballet from when she was 4 years old until she met Daisuke Yoshimoto, Butoh master, when she was 21. She has performed in Japan and overseas as a solo and part of TENKU YORAN dance company.
Joelle Taylor
began performing as a solo poet after her band lost interest in themselves half way through a song. Never one to be described as observant, Joelle continued speaking over a non-existent backing track – and her spoken word career was born. She was 17 at the time, and by the end of the gig had procured an anarchic manager who quickly set her up to support the Pogues on tour.
Eleanor Clare & Kam Wan
Performer Singer Film-maker: ‘the Baroque never offers us perfection or fulfilment, or the static calm of being, only the unrest of change and the tension of transience.’ Heinrich Wolffiln

‘Brilliant! Such an incredible use of the cinema! Amazing atmosphere, amazing happenings – loved seeing the Rio filled with wildness.’ Charlie Phillips, Sheffield Doc Fest
Is it impossible, Curator Granny Ludski asked herself, to bring together artists working in many different disciplines, into one place, for one moment, to produce a meta-happening? A true cross/multi disciplinary approach to Art and exhibition making is totally absent from the British Art scene. Granny Ludski smashes boundaries and avoids the herd to bring work as varied and complex as the audience and the world itself.
‘An intriguing event that smashes pigeonholes with risky ideas. If there’s no future for that, there’s no future for anything.’ Alex Chappel
‘The saturated landscape of art, installations, performance and even fashion in the East London makes it easy to be dismissive, yet there’s something about the Ludskis that suggests it should be taken a little more seriously than the rest. The avant-garde late night exhibition combines a number of mediums – from screenings to live music – and celebrates the rich history of the Dalston Rio’s roots in Modernism. It might just be something people will be talking about for a while…’ Thrill City London
‘…from dada to grandma the beat goes on…’ Granny Ludski

Notes to Editors
History >>> the Ludskis return to the Beautiful Art Deco, Rio Cinema, in the very beating heart of the London Scene, to produce a unique exhibition/screening/happening in their ongoing tribute to Clara Ludski, a Russian immigrant, who in 1909 founded the KINGSLAND PALACE, the first electric picture house on the site on which the Rio Cinema now stands.
Like traditional hallowed places of worship and communion they impart to us a message about how we once lived and how we might live. This pagan temple is a shrine to our collective Dreams, Fears, Loves, Madness and codes of Honour.
Bored and drained by bogus exhibitions and the banal moving image screenings of cinema and gallery, Granny Ludski wanted something more vital, with quality, depth and imagination. We found ourselves in direct conflict with the academic style and scholastic didacticism of Art Academy, Gallery, Museum and Biennale. This led to the creation of ‘At Home with the Ludskis’ and the production of a late night exhibition/screening/happening with as wide a range of artists from different fields, providing, eerie installation, seductive performance, startling moving image, surreal musicianship. All the Art Forms that Cinema relies on will Be There!
