Transmissions

'Transmissions' explores the upsurge in performance-related practice that continues to suffuse the contemporary art world. A series of reportage films and collaborations on SHOWstudio during 2005-2007, created as a diary documenting each event live, 'Transmissions' captures a portrait of the scene though artist-created footage, short film, ephemera and live imagery

Janice Kerbel

Janice Kerbel's 'Nick Silver Can't Sleep' is a radio play originally written as part of Artangel's 'Nights of London' commissions, that was performed for the first time live in front of an audience at Tate Britain. Kerbal's description of it is "a radio play for insomniacs", takes the tropes of various nocturnal plants as the artarting points for its character and plot, and weaves a beautiful tale of plants destined never to be together, because of their botanical characteristics:

"Nick Silver (Nicotiana sylvestris), a nocturnal subtropical perennial in bloom, longs for Cereus Grand (Selenicereus grandiflorus), an exotic climbing perennial who blooms just one night a year."

The script was delivered by excellent actors in a simple line up, performed deliberately at dusk to infuse the atmosphere of the tale. The play lasts 20 minutes, apparently just a little longer than it takes to fall comfortably asleep.
