The Role of Art-Texts and images


What is the role of art? What role do we want our art to play? What role do we play as artists and artisans when we make a piece of art? Whether its a work of impermanent genius; a masterpiece; or a momentary lapse of reason; we want to show it! Luxury Goods IV, invites you to participate with artists from across five continents in the consideration of the role of art, the role of creative process, and the role of audiences in a 5 day festival held at the Courtyard Theatre, Pitfield Street, Hoxton.

OPEN DAILY 18:30-00:30 (Sunday Until 22:30)
