Salvatore Arancio at the Spacex Gallery

A newly commissioned installation titled Everything Keeps Dissolving, stages a large drawing combined with a sculptural sound piece. The drawing is inspired by the geological phenomenon called Folded Strata whilst the sound piece was created by manipulating a drone from a seminal 1990s record by the experimental electronic band Coil.  The manipulated sound, originally created to represent a certain hallucinogenic chemical, together with the visual element of the installation aims to create a sense of displacement in the viewer a kind of temporal slip or disruption.

Hubert Coop – Celebrating the Burton Art Gallery Bideford 60th Anniversary

Local scenes and Coop’s sketchbook: an opportunity to view works from the Burton’s collection alongside preparatory drawings as well as works on loan from local collectors. All of which adds a fresh perspective to Coop’s importance to the region and a once in a 60-year opportunity to view and celebrate the Burton’s history.
