The Live Event
Responding to the life and work of Ian White, One Time Only was an event using the space of the nightclub to activate the intersections between music and the moving image. New commissions by artists Tarzan KingOfTheJungle, Anna Clegg, Ahaad Alamoudi and Adam Farah-Saad used media including film, video-jockeying and performance to unravel how music videos shape, and are shaped by, our digital, regional and personal identities.These live works were presented at a club night at FOLD, supported by Futur.Shock. DJ sets by HabibTati and Hellikisto, created in conversation with the artists, accompanied the newly-commissioned works.
The themes behind the project are also explored in an online, interactive publication featuring critical essays, speculative writing and interviews that is free to access.

‘untitled (unexpected friendship)’ a new work by the artist, was installed in the space. The work features a poem written by a Tinder match of the artist’s on their way home from a club night at FOLD. The work is partly an homage to Felix Gonzalez-Torres and takes the form of a stack of A3 posters, which audience members were invited to take and keep.
