Date and time

Fabrica
Duke St BN1 1AG United KingdomDescription
Exploring themes in the current exhibition, we are screening this recent documentary following photographer Edward Burtynsky as he visits slag heaps, e-waste dumps, huge factories and recycling sites. The film observes changes in landscapes due to industrial work and manufacturing.
In many of these landscapes, scores of anonymous workers become specks of canary yellow and blots of bubble-gum pink, a pointillist population. The angles of their bowed heads and raised arms, carefully arranged before assembly lines, are just some of the decorative, precise formal elements. Note how those angles dovetail with those of the machinery. – Manohla Dargis, NY Times

Fabrica is a space where everyone can experience art. Through immersive exhibitions and commissions, we introduce visitors to the work of celebrated international and at the same time, we support and commission emerging artists, giving them the financial and creative support to make engaging and thought provoking work. This way, art is always here to surprise, challenge and inspire our communities.
Cultural experiences at Fabrica are often immersive, shaped around our Grade II listed building. No prior knowledge of art is needed to step inside, and to engage, enjoy and respond. At Fabrica, our audiences can experience art in other unexpected ways: through our ever-changing calendar of film screenings, talks, group discussions and community led events. And through a holistic programme of workshops where they might create sculptures, prints, drawings, textiles that supports learning and increases wellbeing. Our café and private venue hire give people another way to make art part of their everyday lives.
