David Murphy in conversation

Join us ‘in conversation’ with David Murphy, one of the exhibiting artists at the New Art Centre and in the recent 'Common Thread' Exhibition (01 Jun – 29 Aug 2020).

'Common Thread' brought together a group of artists whose works all focused on the history of textile technology and design, revealing the place that textiles have in art and in contemporary society.

In this episode, we explore the ideas behind David Murphy’s work, including concepts of the micro/macro and how 'the textile language' is manifested. Links to other textile works as a result of the curation of the show are also discussed, as well as the relationship between his painting and sculptural works. We also speak about process and how it informs ideas and outcomes. 

The Roche Court Educational Trust works with over 6,000 children, young people and specialist groups annually, at both the Sculpture Park and elsewhere. We encourage an exploration of modern and contemporary art through our specialist looking, thinking & speaking approach.

As an independent charity, we rely on donations to deliver our program. For further details of how to support our work, please visit our website at: https://rochecourteducationaltrust.co.uk/support-us/ Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/_ilovesculpture/
