Hastings Arts Forum Current Exhibition

15 – 25 Jan in AF1 and AF2.  

Re-Cycling Exhibition, curated by Annie Rae.

Hastings Arts Forum proudly announces it will hold its first recycling exhibition in its two galleries, 13 – 25 January 2011. The exhibition is curated by Annie Rae, and will include work by 15 of the Forum’s artists. 

Annie Rae hopes this exhibition is only the first of a series, exploring imaginative methods needed to re-use materials, which are usually destroyed, dumped or put into landfills. The exhibition has work that is ingenious and  witty.

The Hastings and Bexhill Wood Recycling Project is playing a major role, providing recycled wood for displaying exhibits and examples of its furniture and designs. Stewart Walton’s original prototype drawings will also be included. Wood comes into many of the contributions, as do other discarded materials. Serena Thirkell uses  discarded metal. Penny Hobson beachcombs and with an eye for colour, arranges objects in several clever ways. Max Lane uses many found and discarded bits and pieces to make small, clever sculptures.

Tim Riddihough, Peter Quinell and Peter Edwards are well known for bringing a smile to those attending Forum exhibitions. Artists working in mixed media include Kim and Renee Thrower, Harry Snook, Danny Mooney, Martin O’Neill, Cathryn Kemp, Maika Crampton.
