“I thoroughly enjoyed your workshop. It was a complete eye opener to me. In my usual way I would have just glanced around at the artworks and simply walked past the ones I didn’t understand – but with your encouragement I really took my time to look deeper. I found it fascinating to look beyond the obvious and develop a story around what the artwork might be trying to convey. Thank you so much for the day, it was perfect for me and I couldn’t think of a better or nicer way to spend a Saturday.” Comment from a recent workshop attendee.
There are a number of events taking place in Plymouth while ‘British Art Show 7: In the Days of the Comet’ is on display.
Curated Programme
The Curated Programme features performances and talks by British Art Show 7 artists, a special 24-hour screening of Christian Marclay’s The Clock and talks by curators, Lisa Le Feuvre and Tom Morton. The programme is an integral part of ‘British Art Show 7: In the Days of the Comet’.
Constellation Programme
The Constellation Programme is an extensive supplementary series of events, activities and education work, which has been running since January 2010. The programme includes talks, music, films, symposiums, family activities, creative writing and contemporary craft workshops and more. Events and projects are linked to the themes of British Art Show 7 and ask the question: ‘What is contemporary art?’ The programme is being delivered by members and partners of the Plymouth Visual Arts Consortium and will continue while British Art Show 7 is on display.
