• Making Strange

    Opening Friday 6th September 6 – 9pm

    A survey show of works by Colin Booth
    ‘Making Strange’ is a reference to Russian formalist critic, Victor Shklovsky’s essay Art as Technique (1925). ‘The purpose of Art is to impart the sensation of things as they are perceived and not as they are known. The technique of art is to make objects unfamiliar…’

    ‘Unfamiliarity may be fleeting,’ adds Booth, ‘but it leads to an imperceptible shift in our cognitive understanding of things and in what we know and perceive of as art’.

    Exhibition open 7 – 8 and 13 – 15 September from 12 – 5pm
    or by appointment.

    A Sound based festival in St Leonards on Sea

    Sono-Electro is a festival dedicated to sound art taking place in West
    St Leonards, inviting artists and audiences alike to examine their
    relationship with place through hyper-local interventions that touch onbroader global environmental narratives.

    Exploring ecological themes and counter-themes through sound, artists will share possibilities of reimagining place through collaborative performances, residencies, incubation days, talks, broadcasts, workshops, and installations. These interventions will also be accessible via an online archive to widen audience access and interaction.
