More than 70 international, national, regional, and student artists from University College Falmouth will contribute to this year's live art platform.
Artists include Alex Hetherington, a new media artist and writer who has been awarded commissions by Channel 4 and MESH and creates work that references leading contemporary performance companies The Wooster Group and Goat Island; Lynn Lu, who was awarded the Singapore National Arts Council International Touring Grants in 2007 and the National Arts Council Emerging Artist Grant for her work in 2006 and Charlotte Eatock, a professional contemporary dancer and choreographer, also experimenting with film and photography. Claire Blundell Jones, Dorte Strehlow and Christiane Obermayr, Evangelia Basdekis, gilbertandgrape, Jeff Cloke and Mike McInerney, John Dummett, Jon Fawcett, Katherine Hymer, Kathy Rose, Ken Turner and Jane Whitaker, Misha Horacek, Nathan Walker, People in Pieces, Rachel Parry, Rupert White, Stephen Cornford and Matthew Appleby, Tom Marshman, and Vana Gacina.
Guest artist Richard Layzell will present ‘Key Notes', a work first performed at this year's National Review of Live Art (NRLA) in Glasgow. His work encompasses many approaches to art production and audience. In 1989 he adopted the persona of a self-promoting businessman for several weeks, and gained a lot of media attention. He's been called "one of the best artists working in Britain today" and has worked extensively in galleries, museums, the street, and recently as an artist in industry, in the role of 'visionaire'. There will also be a special launch event of 'Cream Pages', the brand new publication by Tania Koswycz and Richard Layzell, incorporating a live dialogue specifically created for LAF08, which encompasses five years of debate, discourse, disagreement and dynamism.
LAF08 closes with an open discussion for artists, curators and members of the public on Sunday 8th at 2pm.
The exhibitions at Wellington Terrace are open to the public on Friday from 10am to 11pm, Saturday from 11am to 10pm and Sunday from 2pm to 5pm. Admission is free.

In April 2008, University College Falmouth merged with Dartington College of Arts to create a new institution focusing on the expansion of Falmouth's expertise in Art, Design and Media and Dartington's expertise in Choreography, Music, Theatre, Art and Writing.
The merger will pave the way for a new specialist Arts University in Cornwall in 2012, creating a Higher Education institution unique to the South West.
College Falmouth is a founding partner in the Combined Universities in Cornwall (CUC), a unique initiative to promote regional economic regeneration through Higher Education, funded mainly by the European Union (Objective One), the South West Regional Development Agency, and the Higher Education Funding Council for England, with support from Cornwall County Council.
