Symposium: Walking Through Fiction

Symposium - a drinking party or convivial discussion, especially as held in ancient Greece after a banquet (and notable as the title of a work by Plato).

On this late September evening we will aim to discuss the artists’ works in the exhibition and how they respond to the title Walking Through Fiction. If fiction is invented or untrue can these pieces of art be fictional? If so do you have to be immersed in it? And does the viewer then become a part of this fiction when you are walking through the exhibition? Everyone attending will be able to respond to these questions, and others posed during this informal discussion. Ultimately these discussions will form the basis of the next exhibition in a proposed series as part of Devereux’s ongoing curatorial practice.

Participants include:

Patricia Ellis
Cedar Lewisohn
Fani Parali
Mac Scott
Jiri Kratochvil
Matt Franks
Tim Ellis
Alexander Devereux
