After an initial three months of research (taking to people, blue chair walking, hanging out) I am proceeding towards more tangible forms of making work. On 19th May I am inviting residents of Parson Cross and anyone interested in visiting Knutton Road Studios to come to an open and free event: PX Story, Spring: Location.
This event is the first in a series of four. Spring one is all about Parson Cross LOCATION, during Summer we will look for PX HERO, in the Autumn we will search for PX PLOT and we will finish during Winter concentrating on PX DIALOGUE. All events are leading to the creation of the PX Story, a book about Parson Cross which will be compiled with direct input from residents and visitors to Parson Cross.
The Open Day event is an opportunity to contribute to the PX Story and also offers guided tours of the building, workshops, an exhibition of my artistic tools, a chance to meet other artists and enjoy a free cup of tea.
I have invited four artists from Parson Cross and further afield to join her – Paula Kirby, Paul Allender, Abi Goodman and Sarah Smizz who are going to present their work.
Artists Abi Goodman and Sarah Smizz’s site specific Re:Advertise project is all about re-ordering the words of advertisers to say what YOU really want.
Paul Allender will show and talk about his film.
Paula Kirby will be showing film clips. Currently she has a film in Bath Fringe Festival. Check it out!
This is a free event and everyone is welcome at SOAR Works/Knutton Road Studios, 14 Knutton Road, Parson Cross, Sheffield S5 9NU click here for a google map
