Rogelio Vallejo (performer) & Zoe Childerley (photography)
Unfurl extends beyond this Performance Installation to include a variety of free Public Events.
These activities are framed by the Artist's research into depictions of the Fold in paintings, historical interiors and in critical texts. This research was furthered during her inaugural Artist in Residence with the University of Bristol Theatre Collection. Through the production of objects, garments and writing the Artist explores site specificity, processes of display, concealment and transformation.
Mon 26 Sept - Fri 11 Nov - Unfurl Exhibition, University of Bristol Theatre Collection, 21 Park Row. Focusing on the recently acquired Mander & Mitchenson Collection, revealing some unexpected treasures and making new work inspired by its holdings.
Tues 18 Oct, 2 & 3pm – Unfurl Exhibition tours with the Artist & Jo Elsworth, Director, Theatre Collection as part of InsideArts, the University of Bristol Festival of the Arts and Humanities, (free, booking via this link - Eventbrite)
Thurs 3 Nov, 5.30pm for 6pm start – an In Conversation informal discussion about this Residency Project and a wider discussion around artists responding to museums, archive and historical buildings. This will include input from project collaborators and practitioners interested in these fields. (Details to follow). Drinks will be available but admittance free.

A Tudor Lodge, the opulent setting for a tableau poised to unfurl. Pleats of delicate cloth, lengths of red ribbon, a model sits waiting for his painter. As the piece unfolds, the artist’s material transforms the scene in our midst.

Urban Retreat - Survival Jacket Commission & Survival Kit Bag Workshop, Art Gene, Barrow
Urban Retreat - A series of artist commissions, activities and events
exploring the edges of urbanism
"Artist Sophie Mellor spent two weeks as an urban wanderer relying on the kindness of strangers and the bounty of the land to house and feed her. Clothed in an especially designed survival jacket by Clare Thornton, she placed herself directly in Barrow's marginalised landscapes, investing in its use and beauty through her interactions with people and place."
As well as making the survival jacket for Sophie Mellor's urban wander, I ran a 'Survival Kit Bag' workshop. Participants brought along three essential items they needed to negotiate their environment. Items included mobiles, oatcakes, knife, spare socks, water bottle, lighter, chocolate, lipstick, guitar, inhaler. We each then made and customized a survival bag to hold our essential items.
