Tube Lines
A series of four interactive installations by ActionSpace artists Linda Bell, Pardip Kapil, Nnena Kalu and Mark Lawrence, at Tate Exchange. The group will build an interconnecting ‘mega tubing structure’ through the duration of the two-day event to connect each installation ‘aurally as well as physically’, providing a carrier for sound interventions by artist Richard Phoenix. Visitors are invited to become ‘creative neighbours’ and join in with making sculpture, film and performance.
2-3 July 2019, Tate Exchange, Level 5, Blavatnik Building, Tate Modern, Bankside, London, SE1 9TG. www.a-n.co.uk/events/actionspace-presents-tube-lines-at-tate-exchange

All Work and All Play
A group exhibition including new sculptural commissions focusing on the theme of play. Twenty seven artists exhibit work alongside a programme of activities including Playing With Food, a workshop led by Rosie Dowd-Smyth on the subject of ‘transforming everyday consumables into sculptural creations’. Designed as a ‘fully immersive experience’, the show generates new narratives around possibilities of sculpture.

Line & Form
An exhibition of work by sculptors Dilys Jackson, Valerie Coffin Price, Gwyneth Price and Sue Roberts. Using the repetition of line over flat or rounded surfaces to create form, the artists explore the natural world using carving techniques, casting and installation. The artists cement their shared approach in realising sculptural form by referencing the words of Barbara Hepworth: “Sculpture is, in the 20th century, a wide field of experience, with many facets of symbol and material and individual calligraphy.”
29 June – 20 July 2019, Oriel Canfas, 44a Glamorgan Street, Cardiff, CF5 1QS. www.a-n.co.uk/events/line-form
