BHAM💥 The Black Hole Aesthetic Machine will unfold as a reading/ performance at Putney Library, London on the 19th of March, 2025, from 6 PM.
Booking required: Order ticket’s here
Framed as an imaginary product and service, BHAM💥 processes whatever temporary configurations encounter it – human, machine, or otherwise – offering guidance not toward improvement or optimisation, but toward coming to terms with technological obsolescence and the limits of identity maintenance in an information-saturated culture.
Assembled from image, dialogue, and speculative self-help rhetoric, the work stages a presentation that may resemble a sales pitch, a manifesto, or a deadpan instructional seminar. BHAM💥 has no interest in interpretation, whether offered as sincere endorsement, dark humour, or outright rejection.
Refreshments will be provided.
A reading by Sarah-Jane Field with games will be followed by a talk delivered by The Doughnut(W)Hole curator, Kim Shaw. A BHAM💥 book (or do we mean a brochure? 😉) will be available to purchase.
BHAM💥 was developed for The Doughnut(W)Hole Pavilion as part of The Wrong Biennale (7th Edition) 2025–26.
This event is supported by The Mayor's London Borough of Culture.
This is a free public event. If you wish, you can make a voluntary donation in lieu of a ticket price. All proceeds will go to Earlsfield Food Bank, based at St Andrew’s Church on Garratt Lane. Donate here
