The AV Festival 08 lights up Sunderland tonight with Late & Live, an electrifying combination of exclusive exhibition receptions, encounters with artists, and unique live music events, especially for AV Passholders and special guests.

Come along and immerse yourself in Chris Watson's verdant rainforest soundscape, before the baton is passed to Harun Farocki whose Deep Play is a televisual survey of the 2006 World Cup finals. Special receptions make this the perfect night to visit Ryota Kuwakubo's fascinating Prepared Radios, and Joyce Hinterding's spectacular, Aeriology.

The night then takes a live turn, with a very rare live concert by Chris Watson in the lush surrounds of the Winter Gardens. AV:ISION & Ward 10 bring this audiovisual extravaganza to a close, with late night sights and sounds at the White Room.
