Event

Towner staff member and artist Alison Hayes will explore the Nigel Hall work Gravity/Levity that you can see outside Towner’s entrance on the plaza, using it as a catalyst to open up a wider discussion about public artworks. For example, does placing artworks in an outside public environment make them resonate differently to those inside a gallery? Do they inspire more engagement?

This will be an open-ended discussion where you are invited to actively take part, put forward your views and questions, or just observe and listen.

Please dress warmly as part of the talk will take place outside.

Please meet in Towner's Welcome Area.

We have a budget available to make this event as accessible as possible – this can include interpretation services or other access needs we can meet to enable you to participate.

If you require access arrangements, please email programme@townereastbourne.org.uk two weeks before the event date so that we can book a service if needed.

Alison currently works at Towner and studied Fine Art Sculpture at Brighton University where she made objects, films and installation that reflected her fascination with light, space, the viewer and the blurred boundaries between different mediums and disciplines.

She has made site specific work for Artwave festival and continues to find herself captivated and intrigued by collage, drawing and interventions in the public realm.
