Private View & Artist in Conversation with Julia McKinlay and Marion Harrison & SET by DJ Speede Bump.
Julia McKinlay’s practice is a process of discovering a language of sculptural forms. Her work explores the boundaries of the human made in relation to organic and lithic matter. McKinlay’s practice is spatial, she is interested in how objects and images interact in space and form connections with the viewer, sometimes creating imagined worlds for the viewer to explore.
Sean Conway set out to achieve something no-one else on the planet had ever managed; ultra-endurance records for first, longest, fastest AND most. 105 Iron Man competitions in 105 days, the first to swim the length of Britain, the fastest unsupported cycle across Europe and a 4200 mile continuous triathlon later, Sean is one of the most accomplished ultra-endurance athletes on the planet!
In ‘Endurance’, Sean takes audiences on the journey, from miserable school portrait photographer, to world record holder!
