Art at the Bridge #7
Tower Bridge (Engine Rooms) is showcasing the works of 15 female artists with the theme Building Bridges: The Female Perspective.
Celebrate female artistic endeavour with Tower Bridges ‘Art at the Bridge’exhibition. Now in its seventh iteration, this long-running exhibition in partnership with Southwark Arts Forum will display the works of 15 female artists as they explore the theme of‘Building Bridges: The Female Perspective’.
The exhibition aims to reflect upon female perspectives in the community, providing a platform for artists to express their ideas through a variety of media including paintings, etchings, video, photography and drawing.
Each of the artists have drawn inspiration from their own experiences and these artworks offer a striking contrast to the huge and beautifully maintained steam engines that surround them.
The exhibition runs from March 8 to July 31, 2016 and admission will be included in the entry for Tower Bridge Exhibition (Adults: £9; Children aged 5-15: £3.90; Concessions: £6.30; Family tickets from £14.10; Under 5s free). The experience visiting the high-level Walkways has now been bolstered with the addition of the new glass floor, which gives visitors a unique perspective of London 42 meters above the Thames. The nearest underground stations are London Bridge or Tower Hill.
BYOB 2015
BYOB Brighton was back yesterday for Brighton Digital Festival in Brighton Dome. Pop-up Brighton’s 4th annual event returned once again for a night of collaborative moving image, projection, participation and experimentation.
This was my second time participating in the event and a chance to project time lapse ‘work in progress’, D-freeze (first 4 images). Last 3 images show work by some of the other artists.
Grand Marché d’Art Conpemporain
Apart from the large portfolio getting jammed tight in the X-ray machine on the way back, all went well at the Grand Marché d’Art Contemporain in Paris.
The idea was to keep it simple and direct with one very large piece filling the back wall of the stand, like an installation.
Posso solo dire che è un atmosfera fantastica amplificata dal luogo stesso.
Bastille Art Fair
I’m going to Paris to take part in the Grand Marché d’Art Contemporain at Place de la Bastille. This is a huge art fair, taking place near the banks of the Seine, that runs from 28th April to 2nd May 2010. Last year I participated in the “Premier expo”, so this time I’m taking the plunge and booking the full stand. More to follow.
