ADMISSION FREE

Noise of Art and Sound and Music launch Kindertransport, an audio-visual installation and sculpture by Ralph Koltai CBE and Ben Osborne on 15 April at the British Film Institute Southbank, London.

Inspired by the mission which rescued 10,000 mostly Jewish children from German occupied Europe in 1938 – 1940, the artwork will tour the European departure points and the UK. Amongst the children saved from death in Nazi concentration camps were important post war figures, including prominant artists, scientists, philanthropists, directors and musicians.

The sculpture is created by Ralph Koltai CBE, a celebrated set designer, artist and Kindertransport survivor. He has been credited for innovating post war British set design.

The project is conceived by Ben Osborne, a Musician, DJ and writer, who is currently participating in the cross platform New Music Plus Award scheme.

Audio visuals for the launch have been created by Fred Deakin, (musician, graphic artist and half of Mercury prize nominated band Lemon Jelly), Overlap (a duo made-up of fine artist Michael Denton and animated image artist Anna McCrickard) and Ben Osborne.

An immersive music, art and film clubbing event, Noise of Art’s Deep Space Disco features a line-up of London’s leading retro-futurist musicians, DJs, performance artists and visual arts teams. Amongst those crafting cosmic grooves to re-edited Soviet-era space films and fantastically costumed performers, will be The Emperor Machine (who release their new LP in the June), Faze Action (who also have a new space disco LP out), Serge Santiago and Les Hommes Du Train (who launch their single ‘Space Hopper’ on Parisian label Totolo). The night will feature rarely seen footage from early soviet space missions from the National Archive of the BFI.

Noise of Art founder, Ben Osborne, has recently been awarded a prestigious New Music Plus Award, by the PRS Foundation.
