ART & ABOUT<br />
In town this month<br />
Night Bloomer by Julian Brown<br />
Over three weekends this month, Fitzroy House hosts Moon Gazing<br />
– an exhibition celebrating the moon and some of its many manifestations<br />
in art, culture and science. Curated by Sarah O’Kane to coincide<br />
with the 50th anniversary of the first manned moon landing, the exhibition<br />
features artworks by twelve contemporary artists – some specially<br />
commissioned for the event – including Julian Bell, Peter Messer and<br />
Charlotte Snook. A series of lunar-related events accompanies the<br />
exhibition, including the launch of poetry anthology Pale Fire (published<br />
by <strong>Lewes</strong>-based The Frogmore Press), moon-making workshops for<br />
children and a talk by Robert Massey of the Royal Astronomical Society,<br />
and Royal Pavilion curator Alexandra Loske, who together wrote<br />
the recently-published book Moon: Art, Science, Culture. Visit sarahokane.<br />
co.uk for more details of the events. Fitzroy House, 10 High Street,<br />
from the 8th until the 23rd of <strong>June</strong>. (Open 10am-5pm Saturdays and Sundays.)<br />
