ICA is closed from the 30 May – 3 June inclusive.
Bringing their unique fusion of stone-based enthusiasm and pre-history fandom to the ICA, Stone Club co-curate a day of readings, talks and performances looking into the secret lives of stones and rock-consciousness.
There will be presentations, panels and films enfolded throughout this day of non-human crystalline consciousness from artist Jeremy Deller, Uncanny Landscapes podcast host and writer Justin Hopper, author Noreen Masud, researcher Annebella Pollen and writer Hettie Judah, and with a live presentation from Gwenno.
Founded by artists Lally MacBeth & Matthew Shaw, Stone Club was set up as a place for stone enthusiasts to congregate, to muse and most importantly to stomp to stones.

Throughout the day, Molly Astley offers a Stone Score, exploring collective sonic-somatic memory making through deep listening and sounding: seeking to nurture embodied, lasting relations with the more-than-human world, the piece investigates how cultivating our capacity to remember a soundscape without recording it changes the quality of our listening.
A Dreaming With Stones ritual offering is provided by Jemma Foster, founder of Wild Alchemy Lab.

Jeremy Deller (born 30 March 1966) is an English conceptual, video and installation artist. Much of Deller's work is collaborative; it has a strong political aspect, in the subjects dealt with and also the devaluation of artistic ego through the involvement of other people in the creative process. He won the Turner Prize in 2004 and represented Great Britain at the Venice Biennale in 2013.
