Visual, musical and digital media artists from around the region have joined forces with local choreographers to produce an hour-long live showcase, being premiered at the Exeter Phoenix in November.
Under the name of the Joy Collective, Alice Leach, Beth Carter, Clair Beckett, Curt Hennels, Darren Harvey Regan, Drunk With Joy, Emma Molony, Ione Rucquoi, Joanna Cartwright, Roger Lewis and StuM have a shared interest in art as a platform for social commentary.
The collective aims to bring contemporary dance and the visual arts to the masses and ensure work doesn’t disappear into private collections.
The event will feature sculpture, animation, dance, photography, film, painting, drawing, new media, printmaking and music, with digital media artist StuM helping to bring out the complexity of the art by displaying it on a large screen.
The collective believes that this innovative way of presenting the work does even more justice to it than exhibiting it in a gallery space.
Find out for yourself at the Joy Collective premiere at the Exeter Phoenix on Thursday, November 6 at 8pm.
The last month has been dominated by the parliamentary debate about welfare reform, and it has been tempting to see this as – finally – a big and public debate about poverty.
