New Exhibition Life Vessels Proves Ceramics and Textiles Can Be A Form of Protest Too
In light of the horrific events taking place all across England over the past week, the Horse Hospital's upcoming two-day exhibition Life Vessels - featuring the work and crafts of artists Aiden Canaday and Rose de Borman - couldn't be more pertinent. The show will feature protest pots and objects of defiance from both artists in the form of ceramics, textiles and drawings. All work is for sale with 15% of proceeds going towards Medical Aid for Palestinians.
Life Vessels will be open to the public at the Horse Hospital from 9 - 11 August. For more information, click here.

South Parade Presents New Group Show: A Separate Place Between the Thought and Felt
Including works spanning across the 20th and 21st centuries, South Parade's new group show, A Separate Place Between the Thought and Felt unapologetically transforms the viewer into the voyeur in an act that pays tribute to British-born American beat-poet Thom Gunn, whose poem The Corridor (in which the exhibition's title takes from the first line) vehemently reflects such notions of existential awareness that come with playing the voyeur. Featuring artworks by the likes of Abraham Cruzvillegas, Tom Hardwick-Allan, Peter Brock, Katie Shannon, Dorothy Mead Gillian Lowndes and many more, the exhibition is as confronting in tone as it is reflective - a true meditation on the thoughts and feelings that overcome many when stuck in places of transition; corridors, to be exact.
A Separate Place Between the Thought and Felt is open to the public on 10 August until 28 September. For more information, click here.
