See event details

A event on Thursday 6th February. The event starts at 18:00.


PICK IT UP! is a new installation presented by anti-discplinary artist Morven Mulgrew, featuring the work of 20 Scottish artists in conversation with 20 Bristolian artists. Artists were invited to submit a receptacle or object suitable for drinking from, and in this show, the audience is encouraged to pick up and use the work on display. The show is a collaboration between the audience and the receptacles on display and examines the connection between objects, food and the body in a lively DIY environment.
