An exhibition by White Shed artists: Deborah Crofts, Nicholette Goff, Sally Higgs, John Howard, Giles Illsley, Cheryl Papasian, Sharon Rouse, Mark Sutherland, Gillian White and Candida Wright. ARTISTS EAT THEIR WORDS Friday 31 October 3pm-7pm Press people (and others) are cordially invited to attend a rather unusual tea party at The Neville Pundole Gallery. The event will mark the opening of the Shed of Leaves exhibition, by artists from Folkestone based group, White Shed, who are gaining a reputation for diverse and interesting exhibitions. The works on show all have a literary theme or connection, including a mannequin inscribed with the cautionary words of a mother to her daughter and abstract canvases bearing the words of the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke. The exhibition has been put together to offer a visual feast during Folkestone's renowned and vibrant Literary Festival. Press people are invited to join the artists in the gallery to observe them, eating their words. Each artist will be presented with a load of edible words – words on rice paper, alphabetti spaghetti, cake books, shaped sandwiches, and anything else that can be consumed. Onlookers may request, names, slogans, poems and texts – providing they can write or recite them. Journalists will be invited to eat their own words, along with the artists.
