Going Out: Blue Monkey Network visits De La Warr Pavilion Artist

We at Blue Monkey Network love to get to know new artists and find out about the diversity of arts practice across the region, however, we know that geographic location sometimes limits interaction between artists’ groups, despite relatively close proximity. We really want to help build links between artists’ groups and communities in East Sussex and beyond, and promote new projects and collaborations which will provide more opportunities for artists to show and make work beyond their immediate area.

The De La Warr Pavilion Artist Critique Group is an informal forum within which locally based artists may show and discuss their work. The group meets regularly in the De La Warr Pavilion’s studio and provides a rigorous and supportive atmosphere through which artists may develop their practices. The Pavilion has worked in partnership with artists from this group to support two exhibitions, Twelve by Six and Navigate and is currently working on Navigato, a cultural exchange between Bexhill and the southern Italian town of Corigliano d’Otranto.

Blue Monkey Network and the De La Warr Pavilion Crit Group already have a small number of members who are common to both groups so for our visit to the DLWP, we’ll be providing the opportunity to build on those relationships and begin to get to know each other better. We’ll be hoping to provide the opportunity to open up conversations about how the two groups can best work alongside each other and, at times perhaps, achieve things together which we can’t achieve apart.

DLWP Crit Group member Louise Kenward will also be sharing her work so that Blue Monkey members can get a flavour of how the De La Warr Artists' Crit Group works. Find out more about Louise here www.bexhilltobexhill.com and www.louisekenward.com
