LUX

LUX is a not-for-profit organisation that supports and promotes contemporary and historical artists' moving image work, and those who make it, through distribution, exhibition, publishing and research.

Southbank Centre consists of the Royal Festival Hall (newly reopened after its two-year transformation), The Hayward, Queen Elizabeth Hall (containing the Purcell Room), and the Saison Poetry Library. We also manage the Arts Council Collection and organises the National Touring Exhibition programme in venues throughout the UK. In November 2007, for our inaugural event, Rational Rec will be enlivening the Queen Elizabeth Hall foyer with a unique event incorporating sounds, music, visual and performing arts and film.

 

Spitalfields Festival

Spitalfields Festival encompasses a three-week Festival in June, a ten-day Festival in December and a year-round programme of education and community work. The Festival prides itself on the quality of its programming, with concerts covering a broad range of western classical music, from early music through to the newest of new music. In June 2008 Rational Rec will decamp for a special event at Wilton's Music Hall as a part of the 2008 Spitalfields Festival.
