Our 2013 selected artist-in-residence Amelia Crouch has been regularly conversing with Hugh Aldersey-Williams in preparation for their talk on 24th May. Here is the mail-out about for it:
HUGH ALDERSEY-WILLIAMS in conversation with AMELIA CROUCH
FRIDAY 24TH MAY 5.00 – 6.30pm / £5.00 on the door
Over the past few weeks artist Amelia Crouch has been exchanging ideas with writer Hugh Aldersey-Williams about the writings of 17th century Norfolk philosopher Thomas Browne, whose statue dominates the Haymarket in Norwich. Their conversations on contemporary and historical fibs, falsifications and fancies will form the subject matter for Amelia’s work in the Project Space over the Festival period. Using animated video, drawing and digital print, Amelia will be making experimental text works based on recent newspaper headlines and political speeches.
There will be a bus provided by Aylsham Care Trust to transport you to The Queen of Hungary, leaving the Market Place at 4.45pm and returning after the talk.
OPEN STUDIO: WEDNESDAY 29TH MAY 2.00 – 6.30PM / FREE
