Celebrating the legacies and genius of BRIAN CATLING

A Weekend and 2 nights of Art, Performance, Readings, Film and Discussion featuring over 40 artists.

A British sculptor, poet, novelist, film-maker and performance artist, Brian Catling died in 2022 and this event seeks to evoke his presence again by assembling a group of artists, writers and performers who combine to present their works as shadows of his gigantic presence. This weekend offers oblique glimpses into such realms of imagination, from haunting poetry and dark rituals to mesmerizing paintings, sculpture and berserk novels, to uncover the necessary occult that lurks within us…
