INTRODUCING… 5X5
After a great evening out last month at Fabrica with Sharon Haward, we were back on home ground at Towner last night for our latest Network event.
The evening took a format which we’ve followed before – 5 artists talking about their work for 5 minutes each & showing 15 images, Pecha Kucha style. It’s a great discipline for the presenting artists to make those essential decisions about what aspect of their practice they want to present and how to do it concisely. It’s also a great way for the audience to get an insight into our members’ really diverse and inventive practices.
We had a really entertaining evening and saw (& heard) some great work by a painter, a musician-composer, and 3 artists working in very different ways with sculpture & installation.
As always it was a pleasure to meet some artists’ we’d never met before who’d come along to find out more about us, and also to welcome our visitor for the evening, Laurence Dube-Rushby who had travelled from Salisbury to visit Blue Monkey & Towner for the first time.
Our hard working and very well prepared presenters for the evening were :
