CATCHING UP
Long time, no blog! Since my last post we’ve welcomed some lovely guests to Eastbourne to talk at our events, including Sheila MacGregor and Ruth Wilbur from Axisweb* who ran a couple of workshops and offered 1-2-1 sessions to half a dozen of our artists. That was way back in September and in October another very welcome guest was Stephen Turner who came and talked to us about his amazing Exbury Egg* project which we very much enjoyed.
For a little while we’re now focusing on our own members experiences in a series of events where we’re making opportunities for artists to share information, knowledge and experience. Last month 3 of our members gave their time for 8 long, strenuous days, helping to install the amazing Chiharu Shiota exhibition, Other Side*, at Towner. Next week the 3 will take us on a walk through the exhibition and tell us about the physically demanding and labour intensive processes which went into the installation and we’ll talk about what they learned by working behind the scenes at Towner, and the pros and cons of volunteering.
