THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT - LIMITED TICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE FOR ALAN MOORE AND STEPHEN O'MALLEY IN ENGLISH JOURNEY REVISITED - MORE INFO HERE 

For the opening of the exhibition Turner versus Martin at the Laing Art Gallery, AV Festival 10 brings together two great forces in contemporary culture, the graphic novelist Alan Moore (V for Vendetta, Watchmen), and musician Stephen O’Malley (Sunn O))), KTL, Gravetemple). Alan Moore will write and perform a new text responding to the energy of the two paintings: John Martin’s infamous The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (1852) and a key painting by JMW Turner from the Tate Collection. Stephen O’Malley will create a new ambient soundscape, sonically melting in the radiance of the paintings.
