During the last weekend, bristolians (wherever their
origin) were able to enjoy The Southbank Bristol Arts Trail. A free exhibitions
weekend throughout the neighbourhood: houses, coffees, social centres,
etc...Every year the trail is specialized about a specific theme. This time it
was the robot trend. It doesn't matter you cannot participate if don't present
robot-like shows, so every artist was invited to show their artworks (either to
sale or not to sale), but robots ruled this year. By twist of fate, this
weekend has been lovely regarding to weather and the one who writes this post
wandered the city to bring here some images of what went on out there.
You pop in any house saying Hi! and walk around their
living room and elsewhere glancing pictures, sculptures, pottery, prints, jewellery
and more art and craft and afterwards you wave your hand respectfully because
you were at art's home.
The excuse is not important, robots, monsters, whatever
for decorating the façade and welcome pedestrians to come in and enjoy this
trip that gets you goosebumps.
The struggle to find a place where perform an
exhibition is vanished. This bed factory plays the gallery role successfully.
Not even think about taking a nap! There's much more to see.
Churches and schools brushed away their usual issues
to offer the citizens a artistic place to acquire unique hand-made pieces from
the own artists. Either Beginners or professionals, them all fit in the
festival.
The youngest became artists for once and decorated
their houses with improvised robots, welcome everybody, Bop Bop!
An artist is teaching a child how to work with clay on
a potter's wheel. You had many possibilities to discover artistic procedures
beside the professionals.
Under beautiful weather, artists populated the street by painting walls, floors, shirts and whatever available surface where colour and
drawing could affix on.
You were able to find the living rooms this way.
Perishable sets, human-size canvasses where participate and make an artwork of
yourself. Here, a monstrous invasion is about to take the Clifton Suspension
Bridge.
Finishing, here it is the festival
website, there you can take a look to everything what this weekend happened in
the neighbourhood.
