This year, the exhibit offers a variety of live performances from the likes of Silvia Battista and tattooed favourite,Mad Alan, to work by the renowned painter-cum-performer, Franko B. A further fifty-seven international artists specialising in print, photography, sculpture and painting are also set to perform/display their work in the old slaughterhouse.
The installation sure to catch everyone’s attention is the ‘Dreamachine’, an optical stimulant designed by Brion Gysin and novelist, William S Bourroughs. The piece was reportedly used by Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain 48 hours before his death in 1994, and was a favourite of Sir Paul McCartney in the 70’s.
Take care not to miss the beautifully haunting flower skeletons by Cedric Laquieze and the intricate neo-Victorian ink-scratch engravings of Dan Hillier. The controversially recurring artwork of notorious prisonerCharles Bronson can also be viewed in the old abattoir.
