DECASIA is a club night run by D-Bird from An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump bringing you an evening that celebrates the decay and regeneration of aesthetics through the mediums of art, photography, films, sonic art and music. The name 'Decasia' comes from a film of the same name by Bill Morrison. You can find out more about it here: decasia.com and myspace.com/hypnoticpictures.
WE ARE A CELEBRATION OF ALL THINGS WEIRD AND WONDERFUL
Our aim is to make these nights as fun, eclectic and cheap as possible and our utmost priority is putting on genuinely talented and passionate artists. This is because we believe in art, music and performance and don't think you, the punter, need to be charged an arm and a leg to experience it. London can be a cheap and great place to go out so leave it with us and we'll do our best to ensure this....
We don't flyer, in fact we've never printed flyers. We tell people about our nights ourselves and through our myspace. If people want to come to our nights that's very cool but we don't pester as we're not trying to get everyone to come. Just the right people.....who understand what it is we are trying to do....
We are launching a new series of nights called 'Decasia Versus...' where we ask guest curators, people who we like, admire and share a similar ethos, to curate a Decasia night. We are looking for curators who are unafraid to explore unexplored and adventurous art forms - who wish to share and further their own interests and inspirations.
