Join an exciting 2-days sculptural workshop led by Artist Associate Flora Duley. Participants will create an archive of objects placed in futuristic, fantasy sculptural structures – a bit like collectors boxes.
The structures will be a fusion of motif, pattern, colour and form inspired by location – Southwark Park – and the current exhibitions at Southwark Park Galleries.
Open to inquisitive minds over the age of 55
Free, booking required

About //
Flora Duley’s sculptural practice includes social interaction, dialogue and performativity to investigate the world of art mediation and present a critique of institutional public engagement and art education. Looking at sculpture as a social context, the work becomes a tool for interrelation, bringing in the everyday, using collective moments in social ways to play on the automation of the institution, of learning, to question hierarchy, and set up situations that are playful, communal and experimental.
Turning a critical eye on the contexts that define, even crush, societies, from economics and laws to rules and norms, Duley’s work responds to these larger concerns by turning them into absurd situations, from table tennis matches to an opera set made up of yoga bricks. This theatrical, playful approach is in turn mirrored in the visual language of the sculptures, emphasising touch, texture and colour in the yoga bricks, neon balls, mats, stretch bands and other equipment, the remnants of a material consumerist game.
