The year ahead looks exciting and full of creative inspiration.

With a packed programme of films, events and exhibitions which aims to delight, entertain and inspire we perhaps don’t need to mention the Oscars word, but hopefully the strong contenders will have you calling into the Cinema for at least one visit this quarter. As always full listings are available in print at QUAD Box office or via a weekly QUAD e-mail, do sign up so you don’t miss out.

From January 2018 full price cinema tickets will be increased to £9. All income from Café and Cinema goes back into supporting our activities, including our Creative Wellbeing programme.

As a registered charity and not for profit organisation, your custom and support is vital, moreover if you can encourage just one extra person into QUAD over the year it would make a massive impact.

You can sign up at bit.ly/quadenews

Adam Buss, QUAD CEO

New Year is traditionally the time to try something new so why not have a look at not only our courses, but events, workshops and free talks which could open a whole new interest.

2018 also marks QUAD’s 10th year and we would like you to join us in our celebrations throughout the year as we will be presenting a programme of special events culminating on the 26th September. There will be cake!

General Practice: Manifold

QUAD presents newly commissioned work

by General Practice, a multi-disciplinary artist collective living and working from Lincoln, UK. Produced during a 12-week residency, the exhibition creatively explores the Peak District’s topography and geographic histories - a landscape that has been shaped and morphed by nature over hundreds of millions of years - through collaborative, expressive and experimental practice. Presented throughout our Extra Gallery Spaces, a series of newly produced artworks from a range of disciplines are exhibited which have taken inspiration from the geography and mythology of this vast and varied National Park.

Thursday 18th January 2018 6:30pm – 7:30pm

Until 28th January 2018 QUAD presents the first UK showing of the mesmerising and immersive installation Line Segments Space by acclaimed Seoul-based artist and technology duo Kimchi and Chips.

An architectural web of threads spans a gallery space. It hangs abstract and undefined, a set of thin positive elements segmenting the dark negative space between. Dynamic imaginary forms are articulated into physical volume by the material of this thread, and the semi-material of the light, the visual gravity of the filaments occupying the space between.

6

A 2D canvas is reduced from a surface piece into a line segment, but then constructed into another dimension, a volume. Light creates contrast and order on the lines to articulate digital matter. Digital forms inhabit the interconnected boundaries of space, moulding visual mass.

The artists reference Picasso’s light painting, and Reticuláreas of Gego whose work offers a contemplation of the material and immaterial, time and space, origin and encounter and art and technology. Sound Design by Junghoon Pi.

Nathan Baxter, Nick Simpson, Rob Britt, Ross Oliver and Michelle Forrest-Beckett.

Manifold: Panel Discussion

Kimchi and Chips: QUAD Digital Fellows

General Practice artists Ellen Brady, Nathan Baxter, Nick Simpson, Rob Britt, Ross Oliver and Michelle Forrest-Beckett will speak about their experiences of making work in, or inspired by the Peak District for Manifold, an exhibition of newly commissioned work that creatively explores the National Park’s topography and geographic histories.

QUAD is pleased to announce that Kimchi and Chips, consisting of artists Mimi Son and Elliot Woods are QUAD’s 2017/2018 Digital Fellows. Their fellowship includes their stunning installation Line Segments Space, talks, advice sessions and a short residency in QUAD Artist Studio.

I, Tonya

Journey’s End

USA 2017 119 mins Dir: Craig Gillespie

UK 2017 107 mins Dir: Saul Dibb

This film is based on the true story of Tonya Harding, the figure skater who rose to prominence when she and her ex-husband Jeff Giooly hired a man to break the leg of Tonya’s main rival Nancy Kerrigan.

A huge controversy at the time, the tale has been brought to the screen struck through with black humour. Margot Robbie (The Wolf Of Wall Street, Goodbye Christopher Robin) plays Tonya with Sebastian Stan as her ex.

In the trenches of World War I, a youthful new recruit, Lieutenant Raleigh (Asa Butterfield) has pulled strings to join his childhood hero Captain Stanhope (Sam Claflin) on the front line. Altered almost beyond recognition by his years at the front, Stanhope is horrified by Raleigh’s arrival into the tension and claustrophobia of the officer’s dugout. A towering classic, this powerful play is adapted with ambition and sensitivity.

Actor-director-writer (and QUAD Patron) Paddy Considine’s searing drama, the follow up to his 2011 feature debut Tyrannosaur, sees him star as a journeyman boxer.

Matty Burton (Considine) is a middleweight boxing world champion nearing the end of his career. He needs to make money to secure a future for his wife Emma (new Doctor Who Jodie Whittaker) and their baby daughter. His last bout, proves a titanic battle and afterwards, at home, he collapses. Awakening from a coma, he battles a loss of memory and personality changes and must try to piece his new life and new self together as his old world disappears. A moving story of loss, identity and adversity.

But his inexperience and the intense loneliness make for a disastrous and dramatic struggle on the high seas, and press him to falsify his progress.

Bronnt Industries Kapital is based around British composer Guy Bartell, who works in the fields of film sountrack, electronic music and sound art. This soundtrack was newly commissioned by the Oleksandr Dovzhenko National Centre in Kyiv, Ukraine.

“Bartell’s score is expertly judged – an echo chamber of horror for the film to resonate inside. I urge you to catch the film with the score whenever you can.”
