Open Show Curatorial Talk
Surface Gallery, 3pm – 4pm
Open Show 2011 is Surface Gallery’s annual international open submissions exhibition, currently celebrating its 9th successful year. The Surface curatorial team will present a talk to discuss the selection and curation process of this exhibition, which aims to investigate diverse contemporary art practice and provide a platform for today’s emerging and established artists.
Refreshments will be provided.


Artist-in-Residence Tour
Surface Project Space, 4pm – 8pm
To mark the middle of the summer residency ‘Site&Situ’ in the Project Space, Surface welcome you to explore the current work of Artist-in-Residence Frank Kent. During his residency he is adapting his site-responsive paintings through an investigative and playful relationship with the Project Space and it’s idiosyncrasies.
This is a rare opportunity to witness these works in their momentary forms, and to meet and chat with the Artist-in-Residence about his artistic process.


Following this event we welcome all to the Orange Tree, on Shakespeare Street, for the NOTLOST festival closing party 8.00pm - 1.00am.

‘Palomar’ takes it name from the 1983, Italo Calvino novel, Mr. Palomar. Through the eyes of the title character, the reader goes on a journey of mundane but highly individual and profound musings. Mr. Palomar tries to explain and define his own existence by trying to find order and reason in the complex and chaotic world around him, thus highlighting the mind’s need to break the natural world up into neat categories, so enabling us to understand how it is all put together.

This exhibition will be based on ideas of observation and perception, and brings together the work of Kate Brigden, Dylan Shipton and Pippa Gatty.
