Documenta, Kings Lynn 28-30 June
The end of the month saw a really interesting collection of work as part of Documenta; a delightfully creative artist-led initiative with UK and international artists participating. The setting of the Kings Lynn Arts Center is really gorgeous and the spaces were really thoughtfully used. Lets hope this organization gets all the support it deserves as it has much to offer
Co-Curator of the event, Richard Layzell, had some lovely work on show particularly interesting was ‘The Shed’. This piece was developed in Shanghai as part of the Visiting Arts One Mile Squared residency. You come upon the work as if by chance. You enter a warehouse on first glance full of clutter. You become aware of a cacophony of noise – its sounds like hundreds of song birds have been let loose. Then to your left you glance movement. On a seemingly haphazard pile of boxes is a beautiful projection of Chinese men surrounded by bamboo cages of tiny birds. We happen upon this vision just as Layzell, suddenly stumbled upon this scene on his recent artist trip in China
