Enjoy an evening celebrating and exploring the work of Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988), one of the most experimental and pioneering artists of the 20th century. This is accompanied by live experimental music by Xavier Velastín Vicencio (xvelastín).

On the evening take a walk through our conservatory where you'll be able to get a drink from the bar whilst enjoying the Akari lamp installation. In the garden room, DICE Festival will be taking over the space to present an evening of chance and performances.

Xavier Velastín Vicencio (xvelastín)

Xavier is a sound artist, sound designer and whale lover whose practice is rooted in voice, agency, structural composition and liveness. He has a background in classical piano, interactive electroacoustic composition and the musicology of club music. His pieces are an eclectic blend of intricately composed atmospheres and visceral, unpredictable performance art. The structural organisation of his performances, whether employing dynamic electronic scores, non-linear chronologies, or human-computer improvisation, is always informed by the fundamental impermanence of the liveness of live performance.

DICE Festival

DICE Festival is an artist-led festival of chance, programming excellent Live Art and experimental performance from artists of all backgrounds and at every stage in their career.

DICE aims to create bridges between emerging and established artists, and expose ground-breaking work to a wider audience. This is why the DICE Team are presenting a platform that embraces the nature of chance and presents all artists on an equal playing field. DICE aims to question and displace choice within live performance, by placing the unexpected beside one another. It is making space for art to exist, art that doesn’t always fit into expectations.
