SUMMARY:Tim Noble & Sue Webster: Love and Hate at Firstsite
DESCRIPTION:Noble & Webster have created a remarkable group of anti-monuments in their 24-year career\, mixing the strategies of modern sculpture and the attitude of punk to make art from anti-art. \nTheir work derives much of its power from its fusion of opposites\, form and anti-form\, high culture and anti-culture\, male and female\, craft and rubbish\, sex and violence. \nIn this presentation\, eight light sculptures by Noble & Webster illuminate areas of the Firstsite building with pops of glimmering colour. \nThis series of light sculptures reference iconic pop culture symbols represented in the form of shop-front-type signage and carnival shows inherent of British seaside towns\, Las Vegas and Times Square. With the aid of complex light sequencing these signs perpetually flash and spiral out messages of everlasting love\, and hate. \nPlease note\, that this exhibition contains works including flashing lights and contrasting colours across the building. For further information please speak to a member of staff. \n  \nAbout Tim Noble & Sue Webster \nIn 2009\, Noble & Webster were awarded Honorary Degrees of Doctor of Art at Nottingham Trent University in recognition of their contribution to contemporary British Art and their radical influence on younger generations of artists. In 2007\, they were awarded the ARKEN Prize at Arken\, Museum of Modern Art\, Copenhagen for outstanding contribution to the international scene of contemporary art\, in the same year their critically acclaimed project Polymorphous Perverse at the Freud Museum was nominated for the prestigious South Bank Prize. \nSince their first solo show in London\, British Rubbish in 1996\, Noble & Webster have enjoyed international recognition with solo exhibitions at Rockefeller Plaza\, New York\, 2008\, The Freud Museum\, London\, 2006\, CAC Malaga\, 2005\, Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, 2004\, P.S.1/MoMA\, New York\, 2003\, Milton Keynes Gallery\, UK\, 2002\, Deste Foundation\, Athens\, 2000 and The Chisenhale Gallery\, London\, 1999. Their work was included in Statuephilia—Contemporary Sculptors at The British Museum\, London in 2008–09 and in the exhibition Apocalypse—Beauty and Horror in Contemporary Art\, at The Royal Academy\, London\, 2000. \nTheir work is in the permanent collections of the AISTHI Foundation\, Beirut; Arken Museum of Modern Art\, Copenhagen; Art Gallery of South Australia\, Adelaide; Artis-François Pinault\, France; Berengo Studio\, Venice; The British Museum\, London; Dakis Joannou Collection\, Athens; Es Baluard Museum\, Palma\, Spain; The Goss-Michael Collection\, Dallas; Honart Museum\, Tehran\, Iran; Lyonel-Feininger Museum\, Quedlinburg\, Germay; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Denver; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles; National Portrait Gallery\, London; Nicola Erni Collection\, Zug\, Switzerland; The Olbricht Collection\, Berlin; Project Space 176–The Zabludowicz Collection\, London; Saatchi Collection\, London; Samsung Museum\, Seoul\, Korea; Solomon R.

SUMMARY:THE CARPENTERS EXPERIENCE
DESCRIPTION:The Carpenters’ holiday music has become synonymous with the yuletide season through the decades for millions of listeners of all generations who have cherished The Carpenters legacy. \nThe Carpenters were of course an American vocal and instrumental duo consisting of siblings Karen (1950–1983) and Richard Carpenter (born 1946). They produced a distinct soft musical style\, combining Karen’s contralto vocals with Richard’s harmonizing\, arranging and composition skills. During their 14-year career\, the Carpenters recorded ten albums\, along with numerous singles and several television specials. They first performed together as a duo in 1965 and formed the jazz-oriented Richard Carpenter Trio. Signing as Carpenters to A&M Records in 1969\, they achieved major success the following year with the hit singles “(They Long to Be) Close to You” and “We’ve Only Just Begun”. Subsequently\, the duo’s brand of melodic pop produced a record-breaking run of hit recordings on the American Top 40 and Adult Contemporary charts\, and they became leading sellers in the soft rock\, easy listening and adult contemporary music genres. With sales of more than 90 million records worldwide\, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time\, they are there in this amazing recreation show performed by The Carpenters Experience. \nThe hits will just keep on coming: *They Long to Be Close to You * For All We Know * Goodbye to Love * I Need To Be In Love * I Won’t Last A Day Without You * Jambalaya (On The Bayou) * Merry Christmas Darling * Only Yesterday * Rainy Days And Mondays * Solitaire * Superstar * Sweet Sweet Smile * Top Of The World * We’ve Only Just Begun * Yesterday Once More and many more! \nSadly\, their career together ended in 1983 when Karen died from heart failure brought on by complications of anorexia. Extensive news coverage surrounding these circumstances increased public awareness of eating disorders. Though the Carpenters were criticized for their clean-cut and wholesome conservative image in the 1970s\, their music has since been re-evaluated\, attracting critical acclaim and continued commercial success. \nTheir music lives on and this special matinee show should not be missed. \nThis show is Unreserved seating \nFor all enquiries / disabled bookings\, please call the Box Office on: 01256 416384.
