For one evening only in London, electronic pioneer John Foxx will be in conversation with acclaimed graphic designer Jonathan Barnbrook discussing Electricity And Ghosts – a new book collecting Foxx’s life in visual art, created in collaboration with Barnbrook.

The event will also include the chance to hear John Foxx’s seminal ambient work Cathedral Oceans as an immersive audio installation using d&b Soundscape as part of the programme.

Electricity And Ghosts (available from johnfoxxbook.com) includes drawing, photography, painting, graphic art, sculpture and collage, with the artist’s visual language ranging from the introspective figure of The Quiet Man and the overgrown ruins of Cathedral Oceans to ‘70s cyber-punk experiments with cut-up imagery. There are also many previously unseen drawings.
‘For me, drawing is a means of understanding,’ explains Foxx. ‘It has been the foundation of almost everything I’ve done – including music.’

The 4.30pm session will be an opportunity to listen to John Foxx’s album Cathedral Oceans on the d&b Soundscape system only. The 6pm session will feature both the album playback and discussion. 

The 4:30pm session will last approximately 60 minutes, without an interval. The 6pm session will last approximately 90 minutes, without an interval.
