@ Roundhouse, August 2011

As part of Bloomberg Summer at the Roundhouse, internationally renowned artist, architect and designer, Ron Arad has invited his favourite musicians and friends to create unique work for his 360° interactive installation.
Arad’s constant experimentation with materials and his radical approach to form and structure have put him at the forefront of contemporary design. For Curtain Call, he’s responded to the Roundhouse’s spectacular Main Space by creating a curtain made of 5,600 silicon rods, suspended from an 18 metre diamater ring - a canvas for films, live performance and audience interaction.
Each day, you’ll be able to see work by Babis Alexiadis, Hussein Chalayan, Paul Cocksedge, Mat Collishaw, Ori Gersht, Greenaway & Greenaway, Christian Marclay, Javier Mariscal, SDNA, David Shrigley and students from the Royal College Of Art.

An animated multilayered series of images which form the imaginative landscapes of the performance "The Fat Girl Gets a Haircut and Other Stories" (2011) at the Roundhouse in London, directed by Mark Storor, with a live score by composer Jules Maxwell.
This integral part of the production illustrates the experiences and lives of the 11 young people who took part and attempts to articulate significant moments in their adolescent life journey. Simultaneously, it provides a visual translation of their testimonies which were originally integrated into the performance.
The Fat Girl Gets a Haircut and Other Stories is an original work created by artist Mark Storor in collaboration with a cast of young actors.
Their candid tales -- on themes of love, family, sexuality and religion -- are revealed in 13 explicit portraits. With a live band, animation and video in a 360 degree setting, The Fat Girl Gets a Haircut and Other Stories creates a vision of the world as experienced through the prism of teenage years.
