FREE GIG : DERBY, Bar One, 26th October

/pan'd?m?k/
adjective - (of a disease) prevalent over a whole country or the world. Origin: -mid 17th century: from Greek pandemos (from pan 'all' + demos 'people')

During a series of happenings in Sheffield, in 2011, York in Sept 2012, Leeds in April 2013, PANDEMIC incorporated a continuous programme of visual art and SITUATIONS consisting of a combination of experimental music, film, lectures, talks, workshops, readings and performances.

Influenced by the 1960s group the Situationist International, whose foundations were derived primarily from anti-authoritarian Marxism and the avant-garde art movements of the early 20th century, particularly Dada and Surrealism, P A N D E M I C represents an attempt to synthesise this diverse field of influences into a modern and comprehensive critique of the art market, advanced capitalism, and the influence of both over our everyday creative lives.

The wish is to reclaim the gallery space (all spaces) as a social space, an occupation, where we can create, discuss, live and generally have a big party.

There is no money involved, all spaces were given for free, and there's charge on the door so no excuses.



We’ll be performing our Jack the Ripper Banishment at Bar One, Derby at around midnight.
