EXCHANGE EVENT
Monday 4th May - 1.00pm 6.00pm - Spike Island
Exchange Event with : Fránçois Marry, Corey Orbisons, Simon Webb, Jessica Marlowe and Keira Rathbone.
The Exchange Event is a spirited, rampant medley of exhibition, betting shop, haggles haven, familiar fair and an excellent gig, with guest appearances from: Fránçois Marry, Corey Orbisons, Simon Webb, Jessica Marlowe and Keira Rathbone.
Some have attend all or one of the Drawing Exchange Events, amongst other things the drawers have met with caves, memories, the night, dreams, death, day planning, the suspension bridge and pizza.
All the works produced by the participants amalgamate here at the headquarters of The Drawing Exchanges Festival (Spike Island, Gallery 2). The process until now has been centre stage, now we leave time and space to view the resulting drawn works; the dear fruits of our labors.
What value should we assign to the works? The drawer decides. Each work will have a chance to cross hands and attendees may go home with one for the wall.
The Exchange Event is an open trade event, the process of matching value for value is a free for all, so bring treasure, money, promises, charisma, IOUS, or just yourself - like Masters of Ceremony, the Exchange Staff will compare the proceedings.
Special guests will be performing throughout the day. So come drawers, non-drawers, strangers and friends, collectors, prospectors, critics and observers. The doors are open and all are welcome.
