FESTIVAL X-12 2017 Saturday 2nd December to 3rd December 2017 8pm - 8am || x-church, Gainsborough (UK)

A raw 12 hours of art, sound and meals at x-church Gainsborough: performances, projections, experiments.

Nathan’s typing marathon rattled on, Daz slung a big glowing yellow disc onto the wall, Duncan and Mike played up the dawn and thoughts turned to how wonderful it was to be making art at 5 o’clock in the morning at Festival x-24 2017. Somehow in that moment it was possible to hear the presence of sound inside the building and the absence of sound outside the building at one and the same time. And this resonated well with the vast pregnant conundrum that x-church is.

There are many reasons not to do things here. The building is brutal, the neighborhood poor and un-loved, resources are scarce, the arts context fragile. x-24 is in mid July - there is light, air and warmth. x-12 will be in December - it will be dark and cold.

But it is the chip of ice in Slumgothic’s soul that dares to think art, sound and food shared with a strong spirit can generate something that will overcome! The nave will be very cold, the dome warmer, the café warmer still. Hypothermia will not happen!
