Purple TV presents the premiere of Rhythmasspoetry by Cecilia Bengolea, dance artist and Jeremy Deller, Turner Prize winning artist.
For this work, Deller and Bengolea explored Greater Lyon – the districts, the differences and also the connection – to create a film for the 2015 Biennale de Lyon. When Deller met Denis Trouxe, former cultural councillor for Lyon, in his cosy villa at Champagneau- Mont-d’Or (a rich suburb to the west of Lyon), Bengolea and Trouxe wrote a song – a rap with markedly ironic words – that the two artists got him to perform, along with Domy Caramel, Latys Shye and Sarah, three Dancehall dancers from Vaulx-en-Velin, in the east of the Greater Lyon area. The result is a strange video clip, both disturbing and at the same time charming, that, for the space of a few moments, brings together two sections of the same urban zone that seldom meet or speak to each other.
Join artist Jeremy Deller and Cecilia Bengolea for a free talk and screening of their commissioned film work for the Biennale de Lyon 2015, moderated by Paul Maheke, tonight from 6:30pm to 8pm at the Delfina Foundation, 29-31 Catherine Pl, SW1E 6DY, London.
