Inspired by our exhibition By the deep, by the mark, join us for what promises to be a Valentine’s event with a difference. Our gallery hosts will welcome you with a glass of bubbly, whilst an exhibition tour with a twist, hands-on workshop, special artist performance and goody-bag will provide plenty of ice-breaking opportunities.
This late-night event has been creatively curated by designer Kirsi Enkovaara, whose work explores human interaction, nature and urban environments. Inspired by Eloise Hawser’s study of the emotional resonances within the infrastructures that underpin modern life, Kirsi invites you to interact with the invisible meeting points between each other and the built environment that surrounds us.
What do these encounters mean to us? How do textures and surfaces surrounding us shape our lives, and how do we shape them? Kirsi will encourage you to experience presence in these fleeting moments, asking us, ‘what does a date with our surroundings look like?’
With artist led examples and guidance we come together to create an informal installation of our own impressions. Sculpting a ‘library of encounters’ using clay like malleable material to be displayed or take away.
A special thanks to Aesop and Divine Chocolate, for their support with goody bag supplies.
This event is for those aged 16 and over only.
