OTO at Ikon: David Toop

Keiko Yamamoto, founding member of OTO Projects, curates a series of concerts connecting Ikon, Centrala and the artistic community of Café OTO.

In the early 1970s, Carlyle Reedy, Paul Burwell and David Toop were invited to perform in Flanagan’s exhibition at the Rowan Gallery, London, though little remains of this improvised performance as it was not recorded or filmed. For Ikon, Toop explores the ghostliness of such events, disinterring memories from virtually nothing – a photograph, voices of living witnesses (if they can be persuaded) or perhaps instruments and gestures used over 45 years ago.
