Towner Art Gallery present GUSH, a candid<br />
and personal exploration of mental and emotional<br />
health in our hyper-networked society<br />
by British artist Hannah Perry. Central to the<br />
exhibition is an immersive 360° film, experienced<br />
through a Virtual Reality headset whilst<br />
the viewer is seated on a foam bed sculpture.<br />
Other works include a large-scale, pulsating<br />
audio sculpture, where sound frequencies create<br />
distorted patterns on its mirrored surface. Continues<br />
until the 27th of January. Also continuing<br />
at Towner, The Everyday and Extraordinary explores artists’ use of the found object, with works drawn<br />
from the Arts Council Collection, and there’s an exhibition of new and recent works by Simon Ling,<br />
best known for his vibrant, unsettling oil paintings of the dilapidated urban landscape that surrounds<br />
his East London studio.<br />
Also in Eastbourne, Emma Mason<br />
Gallery will be showing the work of<br />
ceramicist Katrin Moye alongside<br />
their limited edition prints. Katrin<br />
began working with clay whilst studying<br />
for her Art Foundation at Hastings<br />
College in 1986. This month she’ll<br />
be showing wheel-thrown and handbuilt<br />
pieces, intricately decorated with<br />
coloured slips and underglazes, in the<br />
town where she grew up.<br />

Quentin Blake has been letting his imagination<br />
run riot at the Jerwood in Hastings. In The<br />
World of Hats, the much-loved artist and illustrator<br />
explores the decorative possibilities of various<br />
headgear. “It seemed to me that about forty works,<br />
of varying sizes, would be more than enough to<br />
fill the space… By the time I persuaded myself to<br />
stop, I discovered I had a collection of well over a<br />
hundred drawings.” Some of those drawings are<br />
for sale, with proceeds divided between the gallery<br />
and the Hastings Storytelling Festival. Also at<br />
Jerwood, The Quick & the Dead: Hambling – Horsley<br />
– Lucas – Simmons<br />
– Teller; an<br />
exhibition of five<br />
ground-breaking<br />
artists with intersecting<br />
lives<br />
(see pg 78), and<br />
Barbara Walker:<br />
Vanishing Point,<br />
which confronts<br />
the issues of race<br />
and representation<br />
in art from the Old<br />
Masters through to<br />
the present day. All<br />
until the 6th Jan.<br />
