Poems, paintings and comic tales are part of a performance ‘Icons for an unknown faith’ by John Fox; artist, writer, cultural provocateur and a founder of the legendary celebratory arts company Welfare State International.
The performance, which will take place in Frome, includes a pop-up exhibition of 15 paintings where the stories behind the paintings, poems and comic monologues are welded together in an energetic and moving reading.
“Delicate elegies, rumbustious monologues and political rants, perceptive and poetic paintings with words.” Westmorland Gazette.
John lives in a wooden beach house above the shoreline of Morecambe Bay. This landscape permeates his work around radical notions of secular rites of passage, wilderness, vernacular art and gift relationships outside our commodity culture.
‘Icons for an unknown faith’ will take place at the Rye Bakery, Whittox Lane on Friday March 9th at 7.30pm. Tickets are £5 on the door. Teas and cakes will be available from the café. There is no bar but you can bring your own drinks. For more information call 07870 959724.
