Some install shots of Exeter Contemporary Open which opened last week and runs until 31st October @exeterphoenixgallery featuring 3 of my sculptures - Ambit, Orbit, and You were right about the stars.

Huge thanks to this year's selectors @sidmotiongallery @martyncross and @mattburrows3 who have put together an incredibly beautiful exhibition which is visually arresting and rewards a good deal of slow looking to tease out all the gorgeous complexities in the work of all the selected artists.

Go and visit if you can and support this wonderful gallery which is doing such an important job (even more so in these difficult times) in supporting artists and art in the South West, and beyond!

BATHING PLACES: WATER WORLDS

8pm
26 Sept
Plymouth Arts Cinema
@plymartscinema

In association with our Bathing Places exhibition (37 Looe Street gallery, open Thursday-Saturday 11-5 until 26th September), this special screening at Plymouth Arts Cinema includes all the artists’ films shown as part of the exhibition, as well as a first screening of Geography of an Archive by Vesna Lukic and Nicole Khayat, whose painting and archival works evoking Khayat Beach in Palestine are included in the exhibition.

These films reflect a spectrum of watery worlds and bodies in bodies of water. Artists connect. In these films, the waters of other seas lap onto the shores of the Sound, bathers from other beaches visit. Water finds its way and we are reminded of our place on a planet. 71% of the Earth’s surface is water-covered and yet pollution, war, climate change imperil so much of that resource. Bathing is an act of immersion. Becoming part of another element. An eternal act yet one not to be taken for granted. In these films, the liquid treasure of these spaces and beings is vividly and variously represented.

Head on over to @plymartscinema to book your tickets. And while you’re there, consider getting a membership to the cinema to keep your cosy this winter!
