[spectre] IOCOSE VS Guy Fawkes Night

[marc garrett]

Hi everyone,

If you are in the UK/London this evening, and feel all washed out from 
the rain, fed up with damp Bonfires and the strange tradition of burning 
an effigy of Guy Fawkes.

Guy Fawkes Night originates from the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, a failed 
conspiracy by a group of provincial English Catholics to assassinate the 
Protestant King James I of England and replace him with a Catholic head 
of state. The survival of the king was first celebrated on 5 November 
1605, after Guy Fawkes, left in charge of the gunpowder placed 
underneath the House of Lords, was discovered and arrested.

So instead, come & share the evening with others at Furtherfield's HTTP 
Space & Gallery.

Private view tonight 6.30 pm - 9pm
Friday Nov 5th

Info below info:

European activist group IOCOSE premiere their film 'In The Long Run' 
tonight.

Although we live in a celebrity driven culture it is not widely known 
that major news networks such as the BBC, Fox and Sky prepare obituaries 
about famous people to put on air in the event of an unexpected death.

Criticising the media's obsession with celebrity an art collective named 
IOCOSE will be screening their film In the Long Run (2010) at HTTP 
gallery north London, plus two other works not exhibited in the UK until 
now.

The 20 minute film is a reconstruction of a possible future high profile 
media event. The death of pop star Madonna is described in a BBC News 
special edition, with a journalist and studio guest who go over the 
details of the fatal car accident, the statements of the VIPs and the 
reactions of fans around the world.
