Join us for the Table of the Elements relaunch party at The Garden Cinema, Covent Garden, highlighted by a screening of the feature documentary Tony Conrad: Completely in the Present. The gathering inaugurates an ambitious pre-order and membership drive to support the 2025 season of new projects. This is the first in a month-long, worldwide series of activities, uniting Table of the Elements’ global community through concerts, exhibitions, pop-ups, listening parties, and special collaborations across key cities.
Table of the Elements is a curatorial platform, interdisciplinary production organization, live-event presenter, and fine-arts print, audio, and film publisher, lauded by Pitchfork Media as “a national treasure.” Since its origin as a record label in 1993, TotE has been dedicated to preserving, promoting, and promulgating works by international creators of experimental audio, avant-performance, and modern composition. The label’s 150-plus releases are a vital contemporary chronicle, a survey of meaningful eruptions across a broad horizon of sound and vision. Each project demonstrates how a publishing concern might romp wild, unbridled from the carousel of convention.

Tony Conrad: Completely in the Present is a nonfiction film that examines the pioneering life and works of filmmaker, musician, artist, and educator Tony Conrad. Utilizing intimate footage of Tony and his collaborators shot over the last twenty-two years and his own archive of recordings and films, Tony Conrad: Completely in the Present mirrors Conrad’s playfully radical approach to art making. The non-linear structure allows Conrad to wildly free-associate his streams of consciousness, revealing an honest and humane way of navigating a remarkable, creative life.
