CePRA offered £1000 towards a forum exploring the legacy of experimental composer Cornelius Cardew, as explained by Linzi Stauvers:

"On 18 January 2013, a film document of John Tilbury’s improvised piano performance of Cornelius Cardew’s The Tiger’s Mind (1967) was screened as part of an art exhibition in the decommissioned TV Studio in the Roger Stevens Building. This was followed by a forum, with Dr. Marcel Swiboda (University of Leeds), Prof. Adrian Rifkin (Goldsmith’s University) and Dr. Penelope Curtis (Tate Britain), Celine Condorelli (Goldsmiths University), chaired by Dr. Linzi Stauvers (Pavilion), who addressed Cardew’s experimental score in providing the conceptual framework of John Tilbury’s performance, a sculpture and film installation by Celine Condorelli, and film and publishing project by Beatrice Gibson. The speakers moved from the theoretical to the theatrical structuring of the exhibition staged in the basement of the brutalist Roger Stevens Building (between 26 October 2012 – 19 January 2013) designed by Chamberlin Powell and Bonn in 1970."

A recording of the forum is available on Pavilion’s website – www.pavilion.org.uk
