Group show by Juice Studios in which more than 20 artists explore the theme of 'folk' across painting, printmaking, ceramics and textiles.
Juice Studios have a group show called Folk running at Pier Street Pop-Up from 24 October to 1 November, with a preview on Friday 23 October from 6:00 PM. It's a studio show, so it brings together work from Juice's own members alongside a selection of guest artists — more than 20 in total.
The title is the only thing they gave the artists to work with. They left the theme intentionally broad, and that's where the show gets its variety. With over 20 people interpreting 'folk' in their own way, the result is a multi-medium collection that pulls together painting, printmaking, ceramics and textiles. The sources of inspiration run all over the place: ancient folklore, myths and traditional music sit alongside modern takes on everyday life, fandoms, daily ritual, technology and where folk culture goes from here.
It's not just the exhibition on the walls, either. There's a programme of workshops running alongside it, including a charcoal drawing session with Esther Cawley and an introduction to cyanotype with Half Frame Full Flavour. The exhibition identity was done by Mat Taylor.
