The project gets lauched at the end of the month in a participatory event at the Light House Media Centre in Wolverhampton. This should be an engaging and informative event and details of the activity are posted below. I really hope that we get a good audience to come along and find out more about the project, its evolution and future activities.
As part of the launch of ‘Looking and Being Looked At’ the lead artist Elena Cassidy-Smith is inviting audiences to engage with the key issues addressed by the project by leaving their comments and participating in a self-portraiture activity that will consider how looking can be active or passive, depending upon the perspective of the viewer or the viewed. No specific drawing skills are needed and all public work produced at the event will be included in a project exhibition that is scheduled for late autumn 2009.
