Oxford Contemporary Music present a performance of Vauxhall Pleasure, a chamber ensemble piece and installation of surround sound by composer Paul Whitty and visual artist Anna Best. Vauxhall Pleasure was also performed at Vauxhall Cross traffic interchange and at Late at Tate, Tate Britain. The piece draws upon past history, present conditions and future plans of that London location whilst exploring the relationship between political protest and entertainment, traffic and pedestrians, pollution, breathing and song. The performance is accompanied by a symposium of artists, environmentalists, city planners and the general public on the issues of sustainable transport, planning and pollution that Vauxhall Pleasure raises. www.vauxhallpleasure.org.uk
