Un:Plastics Exhibition

Leave a comment

Exhibition across four different locations illustrating some of the many ways designers, makers and artists are tackling our plastic waste problem.

10 November – 18 November 2018. Friars Walk, Lewes (map)

FREE EVENT.

Waste plastic is an environmental disaster globally. It spills upon and infiltrates the sea. It suffocates the wave, strangles the shore, and shrouds the beach.

Making Lewes has brought together artists, designers, and like-minded makers, whose shared need makes manipulating recycled resource material a necessity, and who by compulsion force the transition.

In this exhibition Making Lewes aims to illustrate alternative progressive solutions to the plastics waste issue. To move this on from debate to action. To help, repair – mend – reconcile.

Leave a comment

This exhibition highlights the results of second and third year architecture students from South Bank University whose 2015/2016 project used Lewes as it’s context.

The project brief called for proposals to rehouse the resident artists and crafts people currently occupying the warehouses. The chosen site was adjacent to a car park behind Waitrose and beside the Ouse river, and included the old WenbanSmith storage sheds. The brief emphasised buildings to provide micro-homes for up to 20 artists, associated studios and an exhibition space that is accessible to the public to withstand flooding.
