The Centre for Improved Living; Marc Horowitz
Join Marc Horowitz as he presents his extraordinary open workshop and talk shows.
Come and join artist and comedian Marc Horowitz as he presents his extraordinary open workshop and talk shows, The Centre for Improved Living, featuring sculptures, videos, performances, life-coaching and conversations with the artist on a range of subjects from architecture to happiness.
Feeling a bit flat? Life in a mess? Then The Centre for Improved Living
at The Hayward is for you. American artist and comedian Marc Horowitz
takes over the Project Space in March to transform it into his highly
improvised but extraordinary centre. For the exhibition Horowitz will
broadcast a live talk-show, Me and You, three days a week. It will be
filmed, edited and broadcast on-site, as well as on the Southbank
Centre's website. He will be resident for the duration of the show and
visitors will be able to participate in regularly scheduled
workshops on Thursday and Sunday's that range in topics from 'how to
start your own live talk show' to 'how to make killer sandwiches'.
When not filming Horowitz will be enticing visitors to the Southbank
Centre to become involved in his range of entertaining and quirky
activities.
To take part, come and meet Marc in The Centre for Improved Living at the Hayward Project Space.
The event is taking place between Tuesday March 18th and Sunday April 13th at The Hayward Project Space, 10am-6pm (daily). Late nights Friday until 10pm.
