Join us for a Conversation between curator and writer Roger Malbert and artist Mick Peter where they will discuss drawing, both in relationship to their work as well as the drawings that inspire and interest them.
This event has been programmed especially to accompany Mick Peter‘s exhibition Gerroff!! (Or User Feedback) which is currently open across Hospitalfield’s Gardens. Gerroff!! (or User Feedback) is a series of sculptural scenes that create a narrative trail at Hospitalfield humorously addressing the ‘rules’ of engagement with art.
