What our editors say

“The Shui Mo (수묵; 墨絵; 水墨) Ensemble is dedicated to performing new musical compositions on East Asian traditional instruments. For this Arnolfini Late they will present three new short solo works, composed in response to Rinko Kawauchi’s exhibition. These will take place in our gallery spaces, at intervals throughout the evening.”

“'Monkey Business' is the first solo exhibition by Bristol-based artist RTiiiKA. The exhibition presents paintings and installations inspired by the fluid and varied expressions of biological sex and sexuality found in the animal kingdom. Think paintings about non-monogamous songbirds, intersex moles and sex toy-crazy monkeys.”

“Heavy on sculpture, Red Oranges' second exhibition at D Unit explores the complex and historic relationship humans have to metal. Seemingly an unfeeling, hard material, the artists in this exhibition interrogate the boundaries of this surprisingly bendy substance that the human race so heavily manipulates to provide society with a sturdy backbone. Expect HEAVY metal music, metallic dress up and all things metal content from talented Bristol artists!”
