Fresh at Coastal Currents!

Coastal Currents welcomes the return of some familiar faces from 2006 with new works from: Katie Etheridge ('Hollow Lady' 2006), who returns with Shed Lives, Jenny Edbrooke with Sexy Part III ‘The Hole Story’ and ending our festival on 23 September with Rajni Shah with 'Dinner with America'.
The Festival also welcomes this year a plethora of new artists who have responded to the theme of ‘Displacement’ through this year’s Open Submissions scheme. We have had artists from across the globe and from as far afield as Australia and Poland responding to the theme and have whittled them all down to an exciting few.
Mario Rossi
Mario Rossi presents two distinct new works in response to the theme of displacement.
Tibbs Farm (video 100mins)
Thief of Baghdad (preliminary sketch and research for a restaurant canopy). A suite of watercolours.

The Caravan Gallery, Town Centre, Hastings
Thursday 20 September 5pm
FREE event
The Caravan Gallery comes to Hastings hot foot from a stint at Tate Britain and the Paul Smith Space Gallery in Tokyo. The Caravan Gallery is a mobile exhibition venue and visual arts project run by artists Jan Williams and Chris Teasdale who are on a mission to record the ordinary and extraordinary details of life in 21st century Britain.
Eager to examine clichés and cultural trends, they are particularly drawn to absurd anomalies and curious juxtapositions, typical of places in transition and in the process of reinventing themselves as regeneration fever sweeps the land.
