Dan Shipsides

Deployed throughout the Cathedral Quarter area, Shipsides will present a public artwork that features a series of twinned flags that play with and celebrate the expanding communicative beauty and potential of the spaces between laughter and language. A photographic series of the flags from another location will also be exhibited in the Green Room, Black Box, capturing the syzygetic unfurling and furling of the uttering of time, space, language and laughter. Ha ha.
