On The Edge

Artists Hermione Allsopp and Claudia Kappenberg collaborate for the first time, to develop an artistic intervention that combines sculpture and performance in Hastings town centre.

The event will build on Hermione’s sculptural use of found, interior objects and Claudia’s performance practice that examines spaces and patterns in the everyday. 

A group of performers will interact with the sculptures to create shifting constellations that travel along the edges of pavements, roads and properties, slowly migrating through the city centre.

Working with the mobility and weight of the sculptures and of their own bodies, the performers will attend to similarities and differences, the familiar and the strange.

As a journey with no end, this performance blurs the boundaries between inside and outside, objects and bodies, public and private.
