Hello Gluggers,
We cannot believe this is going to be our 10th Glug. Due to popular demand we are changing the format for this event and putting on an extra special 'talks only' event at the fabulous Old Market theatre in Brighton. We have some brilliantly talented speakers who will be sharing with us their beginnings, inspirations, projects and future plans. Illustration, typography and installations galore, its going to be a great night with more speakers to be announced soon!
Be sure to get your tickets early, we sell out quickly and due to a limited capacity there will be no more tickets released. Everyone who buys a ticket will get a seat and there will be short intermissions between each talk.
Doors open at 6pm, we hope to see you for a drink before the talks kick off at 7pm. So without further ado lets check out the line up...

Gordon Young
http://gordonyoung.net/
Gordon Young is a visual artist who focuses on creating art for the public domain. His work ranges from sculptures to typographic pavements for places as disrelated as government headquarters and village squares. The common denominator for all projects is the basis of relevance to the surroundings.
Gordon Young is one of the UK’s leading artists in the field of public art. With over 20 years experience he has created projects as diverse as a series of 20m sculptural/climbing walls in Blackpool, a forest of typographic trees in Crawley Library, a Wall of Wishes in a Bristol school, and a cursing stone in Carlisle.
Gordon’s latest and most ambitious project to date is the Comedy Carpet, an 1,880m2 granite typographical pavement made up of jokes, songs and catchphrases of comedians and writers which is permanently installed on the new promenade in front of Blackpool Tower.

Container / Luise Vormittag
http://www.containerplus.co.uk/
Container is a multidisciplinary art and design studio founded in London in 2002 by Luise Vormittag. She trained as an illustrator, graphic designer, photographer, fine artist and theorist and her creative practice reflects this eclectic education. While maintaining a commercial output of design and illustration commissions she is developing her practice towards a more research-lead investigation, considering notions of conversation, exchange and participation. Luise also co-hosts the bi-monthly 'Monday Club', a modern evening salon and runs a cross-disciplinary contextual unit at Camberwell College of Arts called 'The Expanded Designer'.
Recent work has seen a development towards creating environments that facilitate dialogue and interaction. Examples of this type of work include Throw Caution to the Wind (St Barts and Royal London Hospital, 2011) and The Most Powerful Cabinet in Whitechapel (Royal London Hospital, 2012).
