Friday 24th January

 

Contemporary Cave Painting @ Fabrica

The artist, Thomas Allen, will be soliciting automatic drawings (effectively scribbles) from the public and combining his interpretations of them with his own observations to create a painting on a darkened wall of the gallery that will reflect the collective unconscious of the local community. The public are invited to watch as the painting is made and to contribute their own 'scribbles'.
