An Interview with Granny Ludski #AtHomeWithTheLudskis

If you have any questions or comments or just want me to look at a link, get in touch.

INERVIEW

Many thanks – here are my questions – it would be really great to have your responses to all or any of them! If possible, it would be good to have any answers sometime tomorrow (Thursday) – sorry for the short notice! Thanks again!

Who are the Ludskis?

The Ludskis are my pretend family of Artists and performers and technicians. We take over the Rio Cinema for a night every three months and invite those interested in Artist’s moving image and Performance for a drink or two.

How were the Ludski events born and what made you want to help organise them?

I wanted to see Artists moving image work on the big screen And I wanted to give a platform to all the constituent elements that go in to making a film: script, sound, performance and even hair and make-up. I wanted to bring all art forms together at one time like a film does.

What does Clara Ludski, and her legacy, mean to you?

As her granddaughter I am her legacy!

Do you think the Rio is haunted by the ghost of Clara Ludski?

I think there is the ghost cat!  And people talk of an evil malevolent presence; they say is the ghost of an old projectionist!

What does the Rio cinema mean to you personally?

I see it as a sacred site dedicated to the moving image for over 100 years. It is a pagan temple to moving image, where people can come to commune and have a shared experience in contrast to our increasingly atomized society.

I hope there is always a temple to moving image on this site. It is also in the heart of a very creative district and hope to reflect that rather than just showing the productions of big corporations and American imports.

Could “At Home with the Ludskis” ever happen anywhere else?

Yes. But the cinema is ideal because it has the entire infrastructure I need. A projector, screen, and stage as well as comfortable seating and a late night bar!

Who’s on the team behind the events?

Most of the work currently falls to my assistant Gary O’Dwyer, who is an artist and curator based in Hackney.

How do you choose the films/performers featured?

The best I can find. Either classic works from Artists, or works from people who may be making the classics of the future. I prefer not to survey the scene or even have a theme. I’m looking for truly anarchic, challenging, individual, exuberant, humanist and original work.

What’s been your favorite Ludski moment from everything that’s happened at the events since they’ve been running?

There are many. The havoc when we sold out it! Amazing Butoh dancer Kei Ishikawa; Falsetto opera singer Ernesto Tomisni; People running screaming from the toilets due to Brian Lobel’s performance, ‘Safe Sex’. BADFOOD immersive musical installation in the basement. Turkish musicians who just turned up and started jamming in the foyer. Moreno Solinas’ singing butt. Loulou Reloulou’s fashion-performance; Flange Zoo leading a parade from the station. Trixie Malixie playing the bricks. Yumi Hara Cawkwell & Guy Harries on stage and Bother tied together selling programmes

Recent Ludksi events seem to have moved away from what was almost Punchdrunk-style site-specific immersive theatre happening across the whole Rio building to being more like small film festivals located solely in the main cinema room. Is this shift deliberate, and are there any plans to move back to the original way of doing things?

It depends on the nature of the Artists I find, and who is available. I don’t want to put something in the basement I don’t rate highly just for the sake of it.

Can you give any details of the next event – eg. date, theme, how it’s going to be bigger and more elaborate as I think was mentioned by you at the last event?

A Fine Art performance extravaganza indeed. Im on the the look out for Artists working in any medium to submit proposals. Contact me, Granny Ludski x

Twisted Sister Edition: At Home with the Ludskis no 11 @RioCinema Sat 1st March

Granny Ludski invites you to be: At Home with the Ludskis (No. 11) the Twisted Sister Edition screening of Artists film & live performance & more 11.30 pm – 2.00 am / £6.50 / After party till late.Late Night Cross Platform Multi Disciplinary Art Happening with focus on moving image, the bigscreen and performance. RIO Cinema, 107 Kingsland High St. Dalston, London, E8 2PB Saturday 1st March 2014 – 11.30 pm – 2.00 am / £6.50 Late Night Cross Platform Multi Disciplinary Art Happening with focus on moving image, the big screen and performance. ‘Expect a totally surreal, totally bonkers happening across a variety of artistic platforms.’ Time Out Curated by Granny Ludski‘Brilliant! Such an incredible use of the cinema! Amazing atmosphere,amazing happenings – loved seeing the Rio filled with wildness.’Charlie Phillips, Sheffield Doc FestIs it impossible, Curator Granny Ludski asked herself, to bring togetherartists 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 exhibiton 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’snofuture 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 somethingabout the Ludskis that suggests it should be taken a little more seriouslythan 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 data to grandma the beat goes on…’ e: theludskis@gmail.com t: +44 7425 14472 Notes to EditorsHistory >>> 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 Russianimmigrant who in 1909 founded the KINGSLAND PALACE, the first electric picturehouse on the site on which the Rio Cinema now stands.This pagan temple is a shrine to our collective Dreams, Fears, Loves, Madness andcodes of Honour. Like traditional hallowed places of worship and communion theyimpart to us a message about how we once lived and how we might live. 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 tropes 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!
