Saturday 24 May 2008, 21.00–23.00
Part of UBS Openings: The Long Weekend 2008

A spectacular presentation of Nan Goldin's iconic slide projections, her fiercely moving and personal diary of a lost urban bohemia, accompanied by live performances from Patrick Wolf and John Kelly, all in the epic setting of the Turbine Hall.

Two of Goldin's slideshows will feature during the evening: The Other Side and The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, which consist of hundreds of impassioned photographs taken between the 1970s and 1980s.

John Kelly is a performance and visual artist whose work began in New York’s East Village clubs during the early 1980s. He has worked in opera, film, painting, drawing, photograpahy and dance and music, and will be performing a new commission to accompany The Other Side.

Patrick Wolf is a magnetic singer-songwriter known for his unique brand of baroque pop, fusing elements of electronica, folk and jazz. Wolf’s music is rooted in an eclectic range of influences, from PJ Harvey, Stockhausen and English folk music to the legendary jazz trumpet player and singer, Chet Baker. He will accompany Goldin's magnum opus, The Ballad of Sexual Dependency.
