Phil Hession-Sing along, if you can

3^rd May 2012 – Philip Hession discusses his new work Sing along, If you can, with an insight in to the processes he chooses to use when making work.

Philip Hession’s practice explores the oral traditions of song and storytelling. In March 2012 Philip Hession spent eight nights on board a trans-Atlantic cruise liner. During this time Hession observed and documented all that occurred on board. In Sing along, If you can, the video work that resulted from this voyage, he aims to question the motives for passengers to join such a cruise and to provide a study of modern day cruise life and the transient community that exists on board.

All talks are free and tea and coffee will be provided, places are limited so please RSVP to book your place to info@gtgallery.co.uk. All Welcome.

19th April 2012 – Kaspar Wimberly and Susanne Kudielka artists in residence at Flax Art Studios, Belfast.

26^th April 2012 – Sara Greavu in conversation. Greavu will discuss her practice and the approach to her work. She explores the ways artist use collaboration and research when developing new work.

Communism is so successful that all the capitalists have been driven from planet earth, so Comrade Cominterov flies to Mars and conquers all the capitalists on that planet too.

That is the plot of Interplanetary Revolution, a slightly crazy Soviet propaganda cartoon from 1924.

Clearly this is a storyline that lends itself to reinterpretation in art, which is exactly what a group of artists have done at the Golden Thread Gallery in Belfast.

Let Youth Lead from the Cliftonville Road and the Antrim Road, Belfast who worked with artists Ursula Burke, Charlie Bosanquet and Michael Hanna to create these wonderful images and are soon to launch their new ZOMBIE movie,

WATCH OUT IT’S COMING FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!
