MOD Shed

[Artin Hidden Places of Falmouth]


On Saturday, June the 18 th, MoD Shed will host the first event realised within a framework of Art in Hidden Places of Falmouth .

Art in Hidden Places of Falmouth attempts to create a network for artists to communicate, collaborate and show works in public spaces in the town of Falmouth . It also aims to engage anyone interested in keeping in touch with art which is being made in the area.

No such network exists, despite Falmouth ’s culturally diverse population and large number of artists (not only associated with the college). The pressure on space to be economically productive limits the amount of locations available for art events. It is from these constraints that the idea of Art in Hidden Places of Falmouth emerged, with a determination to be open to all, public (but hidden), and non-commercial.

It will allow local artists to see each other’s work and to publicise any art event that they would like to share – which could be a 30 second intervention, a solo concert on a street corner, a series of paintings down a side alley, a collaborative multi-media show… It aims to engage public, who is interested in keeping in touch with what's happening in the area. The only conditions are that the work must not be for sale while displayed, and that the location must be a public space (or a private space made public).

A website is under construction; it will act as a forum to discuss and publicise events. In the meantime there is a mailing list; if you would like your name added, please write to: art_in_hidden_places@yahoo.co.uk
