Tether have invited artists and collectives from around the UK for an all day event at Max Warburg Manchester (formerly Castlefield Gallery). The
event
is
a
trailer
for
a
larger
project
-­‐taking
place
in
2011-­‐
which
seeks
to
condense
and

concentrate
the
lifespan
of
a
conventional
curatorial
project
into
a
short
space
of
time

without
compromising
the
amount
of
content
within
the
program.

From
2pm
,
Calvin
Sangter
will
reflect
on
sensuality
and
exclusivity,
launching
his
fragrance,
Solve
&
Coagula,
Charlene
Lindberg
will
build
a
moving
wall
while
cocktail
shakers
Grin
&

Slutsky
will
serve
a
new
drink,
The
Black
Swan.

From
6pm
,
artists
will
talk
about
a
tangential
passion
in
a
‘soap
box
moment’,
that
visitors

will
be
energised
and
empowered
to
break
free
from
the
shackles
of
their
self-­‐doubt
and

join
Max
Warburg
in
speaking
freely
without
inhibition. Subjects covered will be: bugs (true bugs, dead bugs and moths); the Apollo Space Program; Frankenstein; Poodles (drawing on ideas from domestic breeding of pets and our relationship to the natural world, to Eastern European literature and the Devil and the caves at Lascaux); and advertising.
