This week's selection of upcoming art and music exhibitions has a particular focus around the theme of 'nature'. While paintings and festivals celebrate its beauty, a darkly comedic film about the incoming tide warns us of the danger nature can pose...
Every weekend, Express presents a selection of online and offline exhibitions, performances, workshops, events and other historic, creative and delicious content to help islanders get their weekly dose of culture.
Here's this week's offering...
Local actor, Joshua Shea, is premiering his “first fully-fledged short film” this week, which is entitled ‘Before The Tide Comes In’.
The young creative, who is currently studying Arts and Humanities in the UK, previously played young Newt in the 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' movie.
His new film, which is about “two strangers buried up to their necks in the sand await their fate with the tide coming in”, is described as “a musing of impending death and the existential thought process that comes with it."
The film, which was seed funded by ArtHouse Jersey, will be submitted to upcoming film festivals this year.
ArtHouse Jersey’s latest pop-up exhibition is a collaboration between artists, Bethan Watkins and Victor Guerin.
The exhibition will be taking place on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 June at the Grève de Lecq Barracks.
Victor is a qualified mechanical engineer from France who creates paintings which offer a “structurally unstructured” view of nature.
Bethan Watkins studied art A Level here in Jersey, and then went on to study further at Arts University Bournemouth. Her paintings, mainly in oil and acrylic, touch upon the abstract beauty of the land, and its spiritual feminine essence.
The full programme of the festival can be found online here.
Thursday 2 June at 19:00 will see the posthumous launch of the late author and artist Linda Rose Parkes’ book of poetry ‘diving for pearls’, which she completed just before starting chemotherapy last spring.
ArtHouse Jersey is hosting the event in collaboration with Linda’s children Samuel Parkes Heinrichs and Esther Rose Parkes, inviting people to celebrate this wonderful work during an evening of poetry, music & film at their new exhibition space in St.Helier.
A limited number of tickets are available to purchase via ArtHouse Jersey’s Eventbrite page.
