8 Drawings

by Matthew Douglas

Matthew Douglas has been making temporary work since 2002, his output has taken the form of sculptures, actions and installations. His most recent work, including work on steel (Bristol/London) and sculptures (Berlin) have only existed for the duration of their exhibition.

The works exhibited in EIGHT DRAWINGS were produced during the latter months of 2010 and form some of his most industrious and intricate work to date.

Lights Off, Radio On

Airing: a BBC radio play adaptation set in Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (59 minutes)

Join us sitting in SHOP, in the dark, to listen to a radio play as selected by the ‘Lights Off, Radio On’ team. As the visual is rendered invisible, instead let your imaginations explore the dystopian corporate world of Metropolis.

No talking, loud eating, or jogging/aerobics, please. Hot beverages will be on offer to sit with you through the proceedings.

Saturday 5th March / 11am – 4pm / FREE

Record Club

The second Bristol Record Club is here!

Record Club is a chance to sit down and dedicate the time needed to enjoy important music with other fans. On the night, 2 LP’s will be played - these records might be old classics, forgotten gems or brand spanking new. The records will be nominated by the people in the club (via a comment on the blog or our twitter account) and voted on in the week before the night.

If you love a record nominate it, the records that win the vote will be the ones we play, so send them over to the log now!

SHOP will be open at 7.30pm and we’ll aim to start playing the first record at 8pm. Feel free to bring some nibbles and drinks along.
