Many & Varied Salon - October 2nd

[nikki]

Hi All,

Another event that may be of interest to the list...

October's Salon features presentations from artist Eleanor Morgan (whose latest projects involving glass sponges, diamonds and spider silk have a definite Materials Science theme), and Ruth Claxton (currently working to index useful resources for makers in and around Birmingham).

It's free and we provide tea, cake and interesting speakers. In return we ask for attendees to play an active part in discussion and feedback.

Feel free to get in touch if you've got a project you'd like to seek some feedback on.

See you there,

Nikki

Free, 1-5pm

The third in our series of sociable, interdisciplinary Salons features presentations from Eleanor Morgan and Ruth Claxton:

Eleanor Morgan is an artist based in London working with printmaking, sculpture, video and drawing. She is interested in materials and processes of making, in particular how human making intersects with that of other animals. She is currently Leverhulme Trust artist in residence at the Grant Museum of Zoology, where she is exploring their collection of glass sponges - animals that are formed of 90% silica. 

Ruth Claxton is an artist, Associate Director of Eastside Projects, co-producer of the Birmingham Art Map and half of Workshop Birmingham. In 2014 she worked with Alessandro Columbano, Michael Dring and Sean O’Keeffe to develop the Birmingham Production Space proposal which imagines a new national centre for the production of art and design in Birmingham. She and Sean O’Keeffe are currently developing Workshop Birmingham, a new project which aims to connect artists, makers and designers with manufacturers and industrial processes in order to develop new skills, knowledge and working relationships. 

Work in Progress; what are you working on?

A core part of the Salons is giving people a chance to talk about, demo and ask questions of the projects they’re working on at the moment. That means you! How can a room full of curious, intelligent people help you move forward?

Get in touch if you’d like to harness the power of a many and varied audience to feed into your work.
