Blake Society illuminated talk by Martin Sexton

A tale of the artist’s explorations, influences and conjunctions with William
Blake using slides, film and dialogue. Martin will articulate his own insights into Blake’s sincere and romantic desire to ‘…restore what the Ancients call’d the Golden Age’ and in some small part to demonstrate that this act of restoration may indeed be a temporal ability through the agency of vision and imagination to realise that … it has indeed never left us.

Martin Sexton works at the interface of ancient history, metaphysics, the psychosocial aspects of ufology & the politics of aesthetics - all countered with a wilful poetic vision that has echoes of the extremism of rock n’ roll. His art has been exhibited widely in the UK and internationally, including Tate Britain, Benaki Museum Athens & the Venice Biennale. He works with ice, fire, meteorites, sound, film and text.

AS AN EXPERIMENT, the Blake Society will also be screening this event live at the appointed hour on the Internet at: http://www.thisistomorrow.info/
