ART
Just down the road
What is it like to live with a hidden disability?
In the Hidden Project, a group of artists with
‘invisible disabilities’ like ME and autism have
been working with local arts charity Roots Experience
to articulate their reality. The result is
The Hubbub – a multi-sensory installation that
invites you to ‘touch, talk, think and feel’ your
way to a better understanding of what it’s like.
Find it at the Founders Room at the Dome
on the 8th and 9th. [brightondome.org]
I dream of icebergs by Adele Gibson Hollywood by Richard Denne
‘Seeing comes before
words’, is a quote
from the opening
words of John Berger’s
groundbreaking
1972 book Ways of
Seeing. It’s also the
title of, and ethos
behind, this year’s
MA Postgraduate
Fine Art Show at the University of Brighton. Open
to the public from the 8th until the 16th, the show
features painting, installation, photography, sculpture,
textiles, performance, video and sound-based work.
Open 10am–5pm every day, with an artist-led tour at
11am on Saturday 9th. 58-67 Grand Parade.
On Sunday the 9th, the Brunswick
Town Art Fair returns to Brunswick
Square Gardens in Brighton. Now in its
sixth year, this summer’s show features
affordable work by more than 50 local
artists and makers. The Regency Town
House will be open all day with an exhibition
of local landscape photographs by
Finn Hopson (curator of the Brighton &
Hove calendar) and the bold and graphic
pop-art images of Richard Denne, who
juggles traditional print-making processes,
digital technology and mixed media.
Open 11am–6pm (with afternoon teas
served in the dining room from 1pm).
Admission is free.
