Join artist David Blandy as he speaks about the creation of his new video work The Edge of Forever and his current artistic practice.
Artist Judith Alder will introduce David and moderate a 20-minute Q&A with the audience. There will also be an opportunity to view the exhibition towards the end of the talk.
This event is in partnership with the Blue Monkey Network, an artist-run organization based in East Sussex. It accompanies the exhibition The Edge of Forever and David’s artist’s residency at Towner Eastbourne from 20 September to 2 October 2022.
David Blandy’s works slip between performance and video, reality and construct, using references sampled from the wide, disparate sources that provide his (and our own) individualist sense of self. Collaboration is central to his practice, examining communal and personal heritage and interdependence. He has developed a gaming art practice writing original RPG’s and has co-written a graphic novel Out of Nothing with Daniel Locke for Nobrow.
