The Woodmill, 5 August 8pm

(In the days of the) ROID

Bob Levene was the first artist to work at Crate as part of SOLO SHOW / GROUP SHOW. Arriving in Margate last Monday, she made new work and presented it very much like a typical artist solo exhibition.

David Martin was the second artist to work as part of this process. He reused Bob's works in order to create a new exhibition within the same space, radically changing, yet providing glimpses of what had gone before.

Noel Clueit was the third artist to present new work in the gallery spaces in response to the structural format of the exhibition, taking on the space and its elements to create a solo show from two previous solo shows by the artists that have gone before.

Dan Meththananda planned to make a work in the Thanet Gazette that was both an article about the exhibition and an artwork, written by a local journalist. He also intervened with the previous artworks made in the space before him, reinstating some and slightly altering others.

For the final part of SOLO SHOW / GROUP SHOW, The Woodmill (Alastair Frazer, Naomi Pearce and Richard Sides) performed a new play in three parts, in which they used previous exhibition as a set.

'ROID' is a tragi-com about transformation, epoch, dark psychedelia, death and absurdity. Through a series of monologues, scenarios and prop-based actions this inter-personal edit merges experienced moments and historical events to explore personal dialogue, an idea of coming-of-age, and the 'wrong' psychedelics of Charles Manson.
