Let's go to Hastings!

We'll visit **Hastings Contemporary** gallery:
**-** **Elias Sime, *Eregata***, the first major solo show in Europe of this multi-disciplinary artist. His work will feature at the 2024 Venice Biennale. Elias deftly weaves, layers and assembles carefully selected everyday materials, transforming commonplace items into lyrical abstract compositions. He often creates intricate works from electronic components – including circuit boards, computer keys, wires and megaphones.
“*My art is slowing it down. The work forces me to slow down*”, said Elisa Sime.

We'll also have the opportunity to visit another exhibition:
