Five Wyndham creatives have been selected to explore public art ideas as part of a new exhibition at The Annex space.
As part of the exhibition, known as Outside/In, the creatives will explore and discover creative dimensions under the mentorship of Tom Groves from Backwoods Gallery.
Hellotomato, Teeny Fletcher, Amal Laala and Tommy Sea x Rukz One were invited to participate in the creation of an exhibition exploring traditional ‘outside’ public art practices in an inside space.
Hellotomato is presenting a participatory work which engages visitors to colour in a mural on the walls and floor of The Annex.
Teeny Fletcher is running a cube swap workshop. Participants will design their own cubes and swap them with cubes already on the shelves.
Amal Laala’s installation is a reflection of motherhood and brings the outside inside featuring both natural and digital elements.
Tommy Sea x Rukz One will create a mural that combines an interactive installation that explores and discusses street art vs graffiti and the intertwining of both.
Wyndham’s creative city portfolio holder, councillor Marcel Mahfoud, encouraged people to visit the exhibition.
“Take the time to come along and be immersed in this intriguing exhibition that is inspiring and will challenge your notions of art,” he said.
The Annex has welcomed more than 2000 visitors and hosted more than 98 events in it’s first year and provides a space for creatives to share their work, test ideas and concepts, develop their arts practice and establish their creative career.
The Outside/In Exhibition is open until Thursday, May 16, from Wednesday to Sunday, 11am till 3pm.
The workshops are free but bookings are essential as places are limited.
