Dreaming with… is an exhibition that takes place between 27th and 30th august and is curated (this time) by James Lavelle of Unkle. Most of the work there is made by his collaborators over the years: Warren Du Preez, Nick Thornton Jones (artwork from UNKLE’s latest album – Where Did The Night Fall), Futura, Ben Drury, Kai and Sunny, Oswaldo Macia, Nathan Coley, Simon Birch, Jamie Shovlin, director John Hillcoat (The Road), Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast, commercials director) and Robert Del Naja from Massive Attack.
Each artist will create a new artwork inspired by music composed for the project by UNKLE, and the music and art will be combined in the gallery space.
The event takes place mainly at the Haunch of Venison in London’s Mayfair but there will also be a special evening with Lavelle at the Prince Charles Cinema in Leicester Square, UNKLE on Screen, to conclude the event. This event will feature the John Hillcoat-directed video for UNKLE’s new single “The Answer’, commercials using the band’s music and feature film Odyssey In Rome, directed by Alex Grazioli and scored by UNKLE.
Simon Birch
Acclaimed film director John Hillcoat, whose last major motion picture feature was the critically heralded ‘The Road’, directs the first video for UNKLE’s ‘The Answer’. His vision begins with Ray Winstone (The Departed, Sexy Beast, Cold Mountain) relaying a memory from years past.
Oswaldo Macia
The second video for UNKLE’s ‘The Answer’, directed by Ross Cairns features footage from the Relentless ‘Lives of The Artists’ documentaries. The highly anticipated new installment, ‘Lives Of The Artists: Follow Me Down’ features James Lavelle and legendary backcountry snowboarders, Jeremy Jones and Xavier De La Rue.
