To complement this year’s Bridport Literary Festival, electricbackroom artists David Rogers and Nigel Slight have curated a multi-disciplinary exhibition, investigating the influence of the spoken, written and printed word on the visual arts.
Countertext09 encourages us to appreciate how widely and deeply literature as a medium and publishing as an industry, have influenced the visual arts. It explores these close links via painting, sculpture, photography, performance and installation by Tabitha Andrews, Benedict Clarke-Roland, Carolyne Kardia, David Rogers, Samuel St Leger, Michael Shaw, Lesley Slight, Nigel Slight and Gigi Sudbury.
Countertext spreads out from the Arts Centre into venues across the town. More details on www.bridport-arts.com or www.electricbackroom.org.uk/countertext09/countertext09.html
