Five2Watch: Fantasy


To celebrate the launch of Jaron Hill's Digital Residency project Greetings From The Sick Bed, we’ve selected five artists who have explored fantasy within their work: Julian Claxton, Heather Eastes, Mark Scott-Wood, Richard Bartle and David Theobald.


Saga (Tamaran), 2016

Julian Claxton

Individual works produced for Saga (Tamaran) show, El Castillo, Santa Brigida, Gran Canaria - 2-5 March 2016

Arriving in the night, a group of UK based artists explore themes of disturbance, dislocation and dissonance on the ancient island of Tamaran in the mid Atlantic. Informed by Guanche culture and in observance of Acoran, Chaxiraxi, Chijoraji and Magec, our contemporary Faykans present film, object and image in a miniature Bond Villain's lair.
