The Thousands

Description:
Come and have a squiz (and a chuckle) at promising new talent on show at the Roslyn Oxley where a gaggle of twelve decked in whirling dervish dresses and cone hats will perform songs, chants and mimicked actions. All of which will undoubtedly make you think of religious cults. The show also includes Andrew Liversidge’s work, Clearing the Mists, an intriguing short video of himself in a boat, extracting air from the sky with a vacuum cleaner. Yasmin Smith’s If I Could Come Near Your Beauty With My Nails features massive, bent nails that appear industrialised but are constructed of ceramic, suggesting a heightened emotional state and fragility. – MP
