Music meets visual art at Towner’s after hours series. The autumn edition features the audio-visual duo Mermaid Chunky, bringing their pastoral electronica, playful performances and seriously arousing sax solos to Towner’s Studio 1, supported by Elisha Edwards and her band, and in the restaurant Light – the singer Liz Overs. Throughout the rest of the building, explore site-specific interventions and drop-in workshops by Henry Murphy of Eastbourne Sketchbook Club and Maddie Hennessy of SlimpyStudio. You can also enjoy food and drink by Light and immerse yourself in artist films curated by Devonshire Collective’s Volta Artists’ Moving Image. The ticket price includes free entry to all exhibitions, which will be open until 9.00pm, featuring artwork by Michaela Yearwood-Dan, Eric Ravilious and Ryan Gander. Mermaid Chunky is a danceable, costumed, curiosity-rich duo of artists Freya Tate and Moina Moin, who have steadily bewitched more and more villages, towns and cities with their blend of funky and pastoral electronica, sculpture visuals and colourful entourage. Elisha Edwards is a singer-songwriter based in Hastings, who weaves together soul, jazz, and R&B into her original music, drawing straight from her inner world. Liz Overs is a songwriter and singer of traditional folk, who will be performing with guitarist David Tomlins. The event also features a looped playlist of films playing throughout the evening at Towner Cinema, curated by Devonshire Collective’s Volta Artists’ Moving Image, including films by Keira Greene and Maddie Lock. The three exhibitions will be open late and free for you to enjoy with your Lates ticket: Ryan Gander: Maybe, a solo exhibition of work by artist Michaela Yearwood-Dan and The Ravilious Collection.
