An evening of life drawing, centred around the use of rubber within the environment, consumption, care and intimacy. Curated by Gut Level.
Expect non-traditional materials, settings and life drawing models. The evening will provide space to consider the materiality of rubber and its presence in our various environments, from its use in heavy industry to fashion and fetish wear. Life drawing is an act of reflection and observation in our busy lives.
Taking inspiration from Sam Keelan’s video work Tired as the Land this event invites and encourages attendees to consider their own place and relationship within capitalistic structures. Sam Keelan is a selected artist as part of current Site Gallery exhibition Jerwood Survey III. His artwork, Tired as the Land, is a slow-paced video that looks at feelings of closeness, care, and relaxation, featuring two characters, a person, and a large rubber hot water bottle, uncannily humanised with an emoji smile.
The evening will be hosted and guided by Grace Clifford and Salome Henshall Gray from Gut Level. Materials will be provided, but feel free to bring your own if you wish.
Donation bar – including hot tea, beers and soft drinks.
