Peninsula after dark
Breather – Doug Foster
Venue: NOW Gallery
18.00-21.00
Breather exploits a rarely used stereoscopic technique to immerse the viewer in a mesmerising scene of desperation that appears to take place within the water-filled confines of a rusty steel-plate box. It is part sculpture, part film and part optical illusion. Its cyclical, mantra-like narrative counterpoints human frailty with human tenacity. Two pairs of steel and glass eye-ports offer the only visible access to the interior.
Ravensbourne Showcase – Interactive Bench
Venue: NOW Gallery
18.00-21.00
The Interactive Bench designed by architecture student Tom Drew, is intended to draw us into a closer consideration of the materials and objects we use every day, how we view them and how we can use them in alternative ways to comment on the world around us. Architecture and Interior Design degree courses at Ravensbourne prepare you to take a position in the field of architecture and its allied professions.
