ART & ABOUT
In town this month...
Artist, architect and gallerist John Whiting never travels anywhere
without a pen and a sketch-book (and a hat). Over the years he has filled
many pages with quick sketches and observations, often forming the
inspiration for paintings back in the studio. Vignettes – an exhibition
of pen line and ink wash drawings taken from the pages of these
sketchbooks – is at 35 North from the 10th of August, until Saturday
14th September.
Fabrica opens its doors this summer with Putting Ourselves in the Picture – an
accessible studio and temporary gallery for artists of all ages, levels and abilities
to access. The exhibition is a co-commission with Project Art Works as part of
the EXPLORERS project: an ambitious, creative and collaborative programme
of work with neurodiverse people across the UK, which asks questions about the
politics of who gets to make art and whose artwork is worthy of public view. Work
created in the studio space will be exhibited in the gallery until 26 Aug.

As part of the Royal Sussex County Hospital’s major
redevelopment, Sussex-based artists The Nimbus
Group are creating The Crucible: a three-part artwork
that will include an augmented reality app and a
website exploring the heritage and people’s personal
memories of the hospital. If you’d like to share your
memories, join a series of events with project artist
and illustrator, Daniel Locke, on 28 August (1-4pm
at The Hop 50+, Palmeira Square) and 6 September
(6-8pm, Sussex House Lecture Theatre, Abbey Road.)
