The Beastly Beauty
By Alison Ward, curated by Jenny Doussan
25th Sept to 4th October, Thursday to Sunday, 11am -6pm
Deptford Arms, 52 Deptford High SE8 4RT
In the social space of the market, identities are fluid rather than fixed a flow of constant negotiation and exchange that evades the discriminatory principles that seem so rigid in other aspects of society. An accompaniment to the main performance of The Beastly Beauty, the cavernous Deptford Art Space beneath the Deptford Arms pub is transformed into the interior of a medieval tent strewn with costumes and relics of battle. A video installation revealing the artistic process features footage of the performers drinking, kissing, and getting into costume in advance of the battle to take place at the Deptford Craft Market.

Lewisham Art House, 140 Lewisham Way, SE14
An examination of drawing designed to push the boundaries of the discipline. Can an artist draw in a variety of forms, sculpturally, or via textiles, for example? When does drawing cease to be drawing and become an alternative means of representation? This exhibition aims to explore the shift point, the moment when drawing transforms into or becomes another means of expression.

Artists will present completed work and spend time in the space making new work, revealing their process and offering access to unstable stages in the materialising of artworks; this may include rehearsing for a performance. The public can see a body of work and exchange ideas with the artist in action.
