FES

This Octo­ber, Fest­iv­al Imin­ente returns to Lon­don, once again invad­ing The Old Tru­man Brew­ery in Brick Lane. A three-day fest­iv­al of explos­ive and exper­i­ment­al Por­tuguese and inter­na­tion­al art and music, Fest­iv­al Imin­ente brings the soul of Lis­bon to the heart of London.

Cur­ated by Por­tuguese artist Vhils and Lisbon’s Under­dogs Gal­lery, Fest­iv­al Imin­ente not only offers the chance to immerse your­self in the most innov­at­ive new music and art from Por­tugal and Por­tuguese-speak­ing coun­tries, but also enlists some of the world’s most cre­at­ively excit­ing artists and music acts to invade the cap­it­al with their best work.

This year’s fest­iv­al will see the unveil­ing of a visu­al art­work from world renowned DJ, Fat­boy Slim. A mul­ti­me­dia col­lab­or­a­tion with Vhils, the work com­bines video and music and was cre­ated in a cul­tur­al exchange that saw each artist vis­it each other’s stu­di­os in Lis­bon and Brighton.

Vhils com­ments; “I am hon­oured to col­lab­or­ate with such a glob­al cul­tur­al icon, whose music has been the soundtrack to our lives. Fat­boy Slim is a fear­less and vis­ion­ary artist much loved in the Por­tuguese-speak­ing world.  He played an unan­nounced DJ set at the sell-out Fest­iv­al Imin­ente in Lis­bon in Septem­ber to an ecstat­ic crowd and I can’t wait to unveil this art­work to a Brit­ish audience.”

There’s even more for art-lov­ers, as Under­dogs Gal­lery will open a pop-up shop in the Old Tru­man Brew­ery’s icon­ic Boil­er House, present­ing a show­case of unique pieces, prints, edi­tions and pub­lic­a­tions that reflect its work with a roster of cut­ting-edge inter­na­tion­al visu­al artists.

With day tick­ets from just £15, Fest­iv­al Imin­ente prom­ises the best new music set against a back­drop of excit­ing new art in an atmo­sphere of intense col­lect­ive intimacy.
