Somerset House Studios will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a three-night series in East London celebrating its core ethos of the radical spirit of experimentation.
Wapping Hydraulic Power Station will host 3 Evenings, bringing resident artists together with international special guests to create site-specific performances amongst Wapping's dramatic boiler house and heritage hydraulic machinery.
Expect live performances by artists, musicians, and choreographers exploring the question of what it means to perform with technology today.
Friday presents Gazelle Twin, Jenkin van Zyl, Lawrence Lek; Saturday: Team Rolfes, Holly Blakey and Tai Shani, and Gary Zhexi Zhang, Klara Kofen and Cameron Graham; Sunday will see Precious Renee Tucker, Ligia Lewis and Lynn Hershman Leeson’s returning alter-ego, Roberta Breitmore, take to the stage
Over the weekend, audience-interactive and screen-based installations by Ayoung Kim, Keiken, Xin Liu and more will serve as the ever-changing constant to the programme.
The launch of online TV station, 3ETV, expands the programme beyond the weekend, collaborating with like-minded partners to bring the programme to a global audience.

For two months after the live event, 3ETV will be broadcast via Somerset House’s online platform for art, ideas and artistic process: Channel.
There will be nine simultaneous TV streams to navigate online: looping and reframing performances and contributions by an array of artists, philosophers and technologists, many of which have been specially commissioned for the programme.
