SUMMARY:Shelanu @ Urban Jungle at RBSA Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Shelanu’s three collections: Interlocking Stories\, Migrating Birds and their souvenir range will be on show in this new exhibition. \nThe concrete architectural jungle of a city may seem very separate from a lush oasis. However\, many urban environments hide gardens\, parks and plants in their midst. This provides the inspiration for our latest craft exhibition ‘Urban Jungle’. Find botanically inspired pieces of jewellery\, ceramics and textiles\, alongside graphic and architectural designer-maker craft. Every piece is hand-made by a designer-maker. \nAbout the RBSA\nThe Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA) is an artist-led charity which supports artists and promotes engagement with the visual arts. The Craft Gallery has established a reputation as the leading Midlands outlet to find exciting and unique contemporary craft. Through its programme of creatively-themed exhibitions\, the RBSA showcases designer-makers from across the UK. Visit www.rbsa.org.uk to find out more.

SUMMARY:Show Your Metal
DESCRIPTION:Image: Jordan Herry\, photo © Marion Stills \nThe very essence of the Metal sound was born out of the experience and consequences of working in Birmingham’s metal industry.  This exhibition connects metal the material and Metal the music. It features local jewellers Dauvit Alexander\, Daisy Grice and Jordan Herry whose work is inspired by culture and symbols associated with Metal and Rock. It also features a battle jacket with badges from gigs which took place at Birmingham Odeon in the late 70’s and early 80’s. \nRead more on the Show Your Metal page. \nYou can find the exhibition in the People’s Postcode Lottery Community Gallery at Midlands Arts Centre. \nHome of Metal \nThis exhibition is part of Home of Metal\, a celebration of Birmingham’s history of music running from May to September\, conceived and produced by Capsule\, supported by Arts Council England. \nHome of Metal shines a light on the global phenomenon of Heavy Metal with a series of blockbuster exhibitions devoted to the music that was born in and around Birmingham. Music that turned up the volume\, down-tuned the guitars\, and introduced a whole new meaning to the word ‘heavy’. The season of events and exhibitions will join the dots between music\, social history\, visual art and fan cultures to produce a new perspective on metal. One that is celebratory\, eschews notions of high/low culture\, and joins audiences and performers together. \nHome of Metal will present a series of exhibitions in partnership with organisations in and around Birmingham to include Black Sabbath – 50 Years\, at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery\, Monster Chetwynd: Hell Mouth 3 at Eastside Projects\, Alan Kane: 4 Bed Detached Home of Metal at The New Art Gallery Walsall and Przemek Branas at Centrala\, demonstrating Heavy Metal’s reach into all corners of culture through explorations of fantasy\, chaos\, performance and fandom.

SUMMARY:Crafting the Commons @ With For About Conference
DESCRIPTION:Join Deirdre Figueiredo to discuss Art and Democracy\, organised by Heart of Glass. \n23 May\, 9:30 am  —  5:30 pm\nFree (book in advance) \nDeirdre will be speaking at this year’s conference as we develop our upcoming exhibition on the theme of ‘the commons’: \n“The fourth annual With For About conference asks ‘Is art\, and the making of art\, the last frontier in the fight for democracy and the realisation of civil society?’. \nThe politics of our times have presented us with an unprecedented moment of re-evaluation. Our communities\, our values\, our social structures are in flux. \nCollaborative art has always presented a unique opportunity to engage meaningfully with these agendas\, to draw audiences into work in new and exciting ways and allow many to add their voices to commentary on these times. But as democratic deficits are felt by increasingly larger parts of our community what role can artists and art play? \nThis year we are joined by a host of speakers from across the globe\, including Jeanne van Heeswijk\, Jonas Staal\, Susanne Bosch\, Larry Achiampong\, A Blade of Grass\, Deirdre Figueiredo\, Brian Harnetty\, Heather Peak Morison and Rick Lowe.” \nConfirm details and book your place with The Heart of Glass. \nImage: Amy Twigger-Holroyd\, Reknit Spectrum Samples (Photo: Amy Twigger-Holroyd)
