George Shaw: The Local The exhibition features the Turner Prize-nominated artist George Shaw, a Devon-based artist, living and working on the edge of Dartmoor. It focuses on three chapters of Shaw’s life, and the title ‘The Local’ references his personal experiences and observations of isolation, loss and belonging, as well as being a common way of referring to the nearest pub: a place anchored to the community and where experiences are shared. Shaw is known for his use of Humbrol enamel paint, and while landscape
is his main subject, his focus is always on the suburban surroundings of his childhood. ‘I would hope that the world the exhibition presents is one which others recognise, be it Midlanders, Plymothians or from the other side of the planet.’ (George Shaw) Until Sunday 4 Sep
because the night belongs to us Mod, hippy, punk or raver, all have found their time and space in Plymouth. ‘because the night belongs to us’ presents the story of Plymouth’s nightlife and culture over the past 60 years, exploring the fun, dangers, relationships, and drama that we form at night, from the Van Dike Club of the late 1960s to the world-famous Union Street and its club culture of the 1990s, from avant-garde jazz, through psychedelia, acid house and hardcore punk. The culmination of a five-year community engagement project, it has been developed with many contributions from the people of Plymouth.
Saturday 17 September
Suthering Julu Irvine and Heg Brignall are a couple in life and in music, and have taken the folk scene by storm with their unusual and fresh approach. They are true storytellers with beautifully matched voices, natural humour, and wonderful chemistry and charisma on stage. Their distinctive sound mixes dramatic piano, intricate, fingerstyle guitar, flute, whistles and harmonium, bringing an exciting take on folk storytelling while creating
new narratives for women and unearthing the female heroines of folk. The performance starts at 7.30pm at Brentor Village Hall and there will be a bar (120 mins run time with interval). Adult ticket £13, child £8 - tickets can be purchased at villagesinaction. co.uk/events/suthering For more details visit suthering. com or facebook.com/suthering
