The working with Diverse Audiences programme, like all events at Fabrica are planned in response to the galleries current exhibition. Here is a selection of documentation from the Second Sight and A Multi Sensory Approach workshops through out the year, and the exhibitions that inspired them.
Spring
'
I see infinite distance between any point and another' by the
Otolith Group Etel Adnan's highly influential writings, in
French, English and Arabic have been read around the world. Her recent
book, Sea and Fog evokes the sea as a metaphor for power, exploring the
nature of the individual spirit and the individual spiritedness of the
natural world.
The Otolith Group‘s new film is made largely in Adnan’s Paris
apartment, and centres on a reading of her poem, Sea (2011), which draws
upon philosophy to meditate on matter and anti-matter. The sound of
Adnan’s voice, and the quiet but ever present ambient noise in her
apartment, create a film with a powerful, meditative atmosphere, that
speaks of the mobility of thought and the movement of the ocean.
Sea, draws upon the powers of philosophy to pursue the continuous
mutation of matter into velocity. If poetry can be understood as a study
in constraint, I See Infinite Distance Between Any Point and Another
can be understood as an experiment in concentration that speaks of the
mobility of thought and the movement of the ocean.

Summer
The summer exhibition was
Cluster by Lewes-based artist
Annemarie O’Sullivan.
Annemarie is a basket maker and though she had worked on larger forms
before, working at Fabrica gave her the opportunity to work on an
unprecedented scale. The result was spectacular with her woven forms
seeming to have grown into the architecture of the gallery itself.

Winter
The year closed with an exhibition in collaboration, again with
Photoworks, for the Brighton Photo Biennial.
The Beautiful Horizon was the culmination of a 17-year project between three artists and
’street children’ living on the streets of Belo Horizonte a city in
Brazil. Providing the participants with an opportunity to make
themselves visible and over such a prolonged period to give them a sense
of their own history, the exhibition was a powerful look into a world
that is hidden and that some would like to make disappear.
