Seven Drunken Nights

'Seven Drunken Nights’ is a new installation made especially for Greenbelt '08. It will consist of a series of drawings, a group of sculptures and ‘Wine & Beer / Oak & Bread’, a performance piece.

‘Seven Drunken Nights’ explores the wrestle between Christian faith and the everyday domestic. It grapples with English folk customs and Christian traditions. Performances will take place in the exhibition space each day at these times: Friday : 7.00pm Saturday : 10.00am 2.30pm & 5.00pm Sunday : 1.30pm & 5.00pm Monday : 10.00am & 1.30pm Images from the artist’s childhood memories of the West Country and the stark landscape of Yorkshire are brought together in a topography where objects stand alongside each other, uniting ideas but also suggesting a struggle of hierarchy. They hired men with the sharp pitchforks To pierce him to the heart, And the loader he served him worse than that, For he tied him in a cart! (from John Barleycorn, Trad.)
