11:30am-1:30pm
Free, booking required, book tickets here.

This workshop will combine smartphone camera technologies with the Bluetooth Low Energy tags used in Apple’s iBeacons system. iBeacons allows a kind of “indoor GPS”, so that photos can be attached to very specific places inside buildings, and shared with other people who visit the same places.
Using a set of phones equipped with our bespoke app, the workshop will introduce the iBeacons technology and its history. This will be followed by a practical
workshop to allow the public to invent games that can be played with this set-up, to explore and question the role of this technology in the hands of the public.

The House of Adelaida Ivanova
Thu-Sat, 7pm
Free, book your tickets by emailing [email protected].
Villa Design Group present The House of Adelaida Ivanovna, an exhibition of sculptural and scenographic objects providing the set for nightly performances of a new version of Gogol’s drama The Gamblers. The exhibition and performances will form the third part of a year-long project entitled The Inauguration of the Russian Season, dedicated to Villa Design Group’s ongoing research into the lost texts of Russian writer Nikolai Gogol and the larger cultural and aesthetic regimes of Tsarist Russia. This line of inquiry continues the group's interest in queer histories, the relationship between objects and subjectivity, the aesthetics of cultural value and the mining of conservative political regimes for new radical potential. Throughout the project, Villa Design Group narrate the process of an architectural competition of proposals for a new library designed to house Gogol’s lost texts.
In this, the third part of the project, Villa Design Group will re-imagine Gogol’s drama and its themes of criminality, homosociality, facades, games, and neurosis as a conference of interior designers discuss the new library. The interior designers present themselves as a cabal of criminals committed to overturning the functional and rhetorical requirements of architecture, whilst trying to find a traitor in their midst; all set within Yves Saint Laurent’s faux Russian dacha, where they play cards.
