As part of TOPOS, an ongoing project by award-winning Exeter-based artist Volkhardt Müller to make and showcase a series of brand new works in response to the city and its populace, the TS Eliot-nominated poet Sean Borodale is artist-in-residence for a period of five days.
From 30 June to 4 July, Sean and Volkhardt will enter into a dialogue to produce a series of pamphlets in response to the city. The work will involve the staging of theatrical moments in the TOPOS space and it will be periodically open to the public – with the option to spectate or to participate.
A fantastic opportunity to view the work of over 100 artists in the centre of Exeter.
With a vast choice of media, from ceramics to oil paintings, sculpture to automata; visitors can buy at prices to suit every pocket, from £10 to £10,000.
This event is being organised by The Maynard School and all the commission raised will be donated to the Children’s Hospice South West and to an Art Bursary for a Sixth Form student to attend the school.
Opening times
Saturday 10am-6pm
Sunday 10am-4pm
