ART: The New Sublime
Curated by the Fortunecats, The New Sublime is an exhibition and series of discussions exploring the new ways in which artists who use digital technology are engaging with the viewer’s attention; a potentially difficult subject because when viewing this kind of work we may be initially fascinated and involved, but eventually slightly bored. This may describe our relationship to technology in general …

Phoenix Gallery, 10-14 Waterloo Place,

ART: Ocean Blues
The oceans are home to more than half of all life on earth, cover 70% of the earth’s surface and have supported life on our planet for millions of years, but the last century has seen the oceans devastated by the invention of plastics and industrialised methods of fishing. This new display looks at some of the threats to life in the oceans as well as initiatives designed to reduce or reverse the impact modern society has had on it.
