Phoenix Art Space, Brighton

Sunday 18 May, 11am - 5pm
Preview: Friday 16 May, 6pm - 8.30pm

Everyone welcome, Suggested £2 donation.

On show will be chance to see the new video and game by Our Ghosts, Our Shells by David Blandy and Petra Széman. (Also currently exhibiting at Seventeen Gallery, London)

Also exhibiting is the updated new version of ShrineShare which now takes the form of a beautiful hand - printed folio, made in Malaysia by artists Sharon Chin & Zedeck Siew. It’s designed to function as a portable exhibition, complete with wall texts; a curatorial essay, and guided activities for the audience. ShrineShare is as small as a single folder, and as large as a gallery art show.

ShrineShare is a British Council funded collection of drawn works by six UK and ten Malaysian artists to share their visions of sacred shrines—be they ancient, personal, or imagined.  

Curated by David Blandy, Sharon Chin & Zedeck Siew 
Supported by British Council & Arts Council England
