24-hour live performance art marathon! 💥 Window shopping like you’ve never seen it before…

This weekend, Brighton’s festive shoppers will be surprised by an innovative event in the heart of North Laine. 

From 1pm on Saturday Dec 7 until 4pm on Sunday Dec 8, a series of performance artists from across the UK will be hosted in a prime shop window at 28 New Road, next to the Corn Exchange.

The performance art marathon was conceived and curated by Paulina Anzorge and Pascal Dowers who run in Brighton. Paulina explains:

“We want to investigate the boundaries between the performance, entertainment, voyeurism and consumerism. In the highly consumer focused pre-Christmas period, it will act as a disruptor and commentator… Marina Abramovic once said that performance art triumphs in times of crises and when the economy is down.”

The selected artists include Newhaven-based Isobel Smith whose AI-influenced sculptures we feature in the winter edition of ROSA Magazine (buy from link in bio ⬆️ ). 

Plus: Alina RJ Iv Genia   Kristina Baeva .art and Tsoi Huen Wong, as well as special guest artists

The 10+ artists will pass the metaphorical art baton on to each other, creating a continuous spectacle running over 24 hours.

💻 You can also watch the performance marathon live on its YouTube channel

What a pleasure it was to meet the inimitable Maggi Hambling today ahead of her show, ‘Nightingale Night’, which opens at Pallant House tomorrow. Look out for our exclusive interview with her in the winter edition of ROSA (out in December – subscribe via link in bio ⬆️ )

The exhibition features 14 new paintings inspired by a night spent in the Sussex woodland guided by folk musician and conservationist, Sam Lee. Using a striking gold-on-black palette, she explores the profound connection between nature, sound, and art.

🐦

Also opening tomorrow is the fascinating ‘Dora Carrington: Beyond Bloomsbury’. This exhibition of paintings, drawings and prints plus film and photographs from private and public collections, reveals the remarkable life and work of a free-spirited artist described as ‘the most neglected serious painter of her time’ by former Tate Director, Sir John Rothenstein.

Get yourself in the mood by watching ‘Carrington’, the 1995 film with Emma Thompson in the title role.
