Arrangement
Lizzy Rose references the Japanese art of ikebana, which she explored during a visit to Japan in 2016, and a 1950s book called The Art of Flower Arranging by Ishimoto. Her new audio-visual installation brings a layer of living moss into the space at Crate in an environment constructed from video, sound, hand-made objects and manipulated plant-life.
Until 30 September 2018, Crate Studios and Project Space, 1 Bilton Square, Margate.

Booking for this event is required as attendees will be given 48-hours notice of the location by email. For each ‘What Is…’ event, a theme is selected and two artists are paired to make work in response to the theme and the location. On this occasion, Jen Skip Smith and Charlie Sellers will be inviting the audience to witness the curvature of Hull.
Sunday 16 September 2018, 6,15pm, Secret venue in HU6, Hull.
