We began, students, staff, experts and others as Exhibition Experiments. The initial idea was, through collaboration and practice based research, to trace a history of radical exhibitions, and make an exhibition. Through weekly seminars, workshops and events our project morphed into prospectus, as our interests incorporated art education, and our own experiences of trying to perform it. 

I saw Charlie Chaplin’s The Gold Rush on Monday 3rd January 2011.

The Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Carl Davis played a live accompaniment to Chaplin's silent classic in a special performance at the Royal Festival Hall.

Featuring Chaplin in his quintessential Little Tramp role, the film was described by The New York Times upon its 1925 release as

‘a comedy with streaks of poetry, pathos, and tenderness, [...] the outstanding gem of all Chaplin’s pictures’.
