Ekphrasis, a Greek word meaning ‘telling in full’, is generally understood as the process of exploring a painting or sculpture through words; however it can be more widely applied to the translation of a work in one artistic medium to another.
In this show; painting, sculpture, digital media and performance come together to explore the textual shadows of literature. The artists featured have translated themes, words and ideas into works of art which illuminate the spaces between the lines.
The Opening Night will also feature live performances by the Sound Book Project and Julia Cunningham.
When: Opening Night: July 6th, 6:30-8pm
July 7th, 10am-5pm
