In Conversation - 6PM

Join artists Shan Turner-Carroll and Ryota Sato in-conversation with The Lock-Up Director Dr. Warwick Heywood as they discuss their current exhibition, SIGNALS FROM. Hear Shan and Ryo discuss their collaborative practice and encountered experiences whilst researching and developing site-specific works which respond to the environments, mood and history of The Lock-Up.

SIGNALS FROM presents a body of work from Shan Turner-Carroll and Ryota Sato’s ongoing creative partnership. The artists will respond to the site, environments, mood and history of The Lock-Up through their collaborative practice centring on the poetic intersection of digital craftsmanship with expanded forms of traditional practices. This exhibition features site-specific and newly developed works which reflect on interactions between buildings and workers, rumours and documents, ghosts and living beings.
