Vital Voice

5th - 28th September 2024

October Gallery presents Vital Force, an exhibition that includes striking works by El Anatsui, Kenji Yoshida, LR Vandy, Romuald Hazoumè, Golnaz Fathi, Williams S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin and Govinda Sah ‘Azad’, amongst others. Vital Force gives space for the innate energies of each unique artwork to manifest before bringing them together in a powerful drama of luminous interactive forms. While each work contributes its own distinctive notes to the ensemble, the orchestral effect of the totality builds to a higher climax resulting in a Gesamtkunstwerk.

In our workshops we will explore a variety of materials and artist techniques in the gallery in response to the exhibiting artists. Learning through the vast array of materials used by all of our artists as they all vary from paintings, sculpture, mix media and more - it will truly be an enriching experience for school students to take back to the classroom.
