Graeme Miller’s LINKED is an artistic response to the creation of the M11 Link Road in East London in the 90s which involved the demolition of 400 homes, including Miller’s own, amid dramatic and passionate protest. Launched in 2003, LINKED was originally commissioned by Museum of London and produced by Artsadmin.

LINKED has endured as perhaps the largest sonic installation and sculptural entity in London for 20 years. Since 2003 its transmitters have broadcast over a million times the voices of people who lived or worked in the area impacted by the road.

Along a 3-mile route between Hackney Marshes and Redbridge Roundabout, 20 analogue radio transmitters can be heard by anyone with a special receiver, revealing 60+ voices of people who once lived and worked in the area – resident families, road protestors, railway-workers, teachers, disco-goers, and artists from the substantial community living in houses destroyed by the road including several who are better known now – Cornelia Parker, John Smith, Jocelyn Pook, Gary Stevens, Christine Binnie. Together the assembly of voices evokes a cross-section of ordinary East London life.

FREE. No booking.
Pick-up point for radio receiver, headphones and map:
Leytonstone Library, 6 Church Lane, London E11 1HG

Performance by Florence Peake in which large, exuberantly painted canvases are folded, dragged, and suspended by five dancers, moving between flat and sculptural forms and theatrical elements of concealment and revelation.

The performance treats the canvases, painted by Floence Peake, with a joyful irreverence, extending the relationship between dance and painting. Unpicking the romantic representation of dance in classical painting and its idealised depiction of the body, Peake looks at the idea of the collapse of the canon of white Western classical painting through the literal manipulation of the large canvases as they are collapsed in form, addressing institutional power structures by looking for ways in which we can overcome them. After the four performances, the canvases will remain as an installation in the space until 29 October 2023.

Rehearsal Director - Katye Coe
Performers: Charlie Ashwell, Iris Yi Po Chan, Katye Coe, Eve Stainton, Nikki Tomlinson, Rosalie Wahlfrid
Choreographic support: Eve Stainton
