Barry Sykes – Artist Talk

November 8 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Our second Artist Talk this term, organized in collaboration with Meadow Arts, will be by Barry Sykes.

Barry makes sculptures, performances and works on paper that examine the power of authenticity, pleasure, and human connection. Referencing different modes of display, design and presentation, his objects and events are experiments in how we negotiate value, significance and trust.

In projects like impersonating a community Police Officer, a residency at a naturist club and his ongoing Laughter Yoga workshops he engages audiences, collaborators and participants using detail, distraction, humour and absurdity.

You can find out more about Barry’s work on BarrySykes.com.

This will be an in-person talk taking place at the Art House on Castle Street in Worcester between 17.00 and 18.30 on Tuesday 8th November. The talk will also be streamed live online. To sign up for the online event please go here. For those who want to attend in person, please come to the Art House at 16.45.

Looking forward to seeing you there,
