“it’s what’s inside”

An Exhibition showing new work that is the result of collaboration between Artists  Lucy Brown and Sarah Pager at Gallery DODO. Brighton.

Sat 7th –  Fri 27th August 2021. Saturday – Monday, 11.00 – 15.00

The individual practices of Lucy and Sarah share a sculptural approach grounded in the body, and a playfulness with structural form and its supports. For their exhibition at Gallery DODO they have worked collaboratively on a series of sculptures which use as a departing point the idea of a space within a space.

“it’s what’s inside” comprises a large sculptural work, which has further work installed inside and a series  of discrete small sculptures.  Although it is not possible to view all of the work at once, there are several points at which the work can be partially viewed in the gallery and online. To view the work inside the sculpture you will be able to visit the online portal where there is 360 degree footage shot inside the sculpture.

Writer and curator Paul Carey-Kent has written about the exhibition and asks ‘What Counts for Pager and Brown ?’

Gallery DODO is a temporary exhibition space situated off the south stairway in Phoenix Art Space, Brighton. It is artist-led by collaborative duo Jon Carritt and Dan Palmer.

16ITT Lodz 2019-2020 extended date…. depending on what happens….

The 16th International Triennial of Tapestry; Breaching Borders exhibition  (16ITT) at The Central Museum of Textiles in Lodz, Poland is a great success and it’s very popular among the museums  visitors and specialists in and outside of Poland.  The Triennial has won the ‘Exhibition of the year 2020’ in the Polish Patches of Culture Award.

Prior to the threat of COVID-19, The Museum had already decided to extend the Exhibition until the 29^th March 2020, and now, depending on what happens the Museum is hoping to extend the exhibition until the end of August 2020. The organisers will be planning a programme of events including lectures, talks and discussions for the end of the exhibition to celebrate Textile Art.  The Museum will announce more details in due course. Please visit their website to keep in touch with 16ITT; https://cmwl.pl/public/informacje/16-miedzynarodowe-triennale-tkaniny,68
