Every two years, Venice is taken over by international artists: art in the churches, in palazzos, in industrial buildings. Anywhere you can install a sculpture, hang a painting or have a performance is part of the Venice Biennale. Exhibiting amongst the colony of artists are not one, but four Hastings and St Leonards artists, Danny Pockets, Maslen&Mehra and Shuby. HOT’s Lauris Morgan-Griffiths spoke to Jennifer Maslen about their experience.
“I was terribly, terribly pretty. I looked like an angel, but I was a fiend inside”. This is how Lee Miller described herself in an interview towards the end of her life. ‘A fiend’ she may have been, but the ‘terribly pretty’ was a bit of an understatement; in the 1920s and 30s, she was considered one of the great beauties of her time. HOT’s Lauris Morgan-Griffiths, a great admirer ever since she first came across Miller’s photographs many years ago, spoke on the phone to her son, Antony Penrose, about a play based on his mother’s life and work – The Angel and the Fiend – at St Mary in the Castle.
Billed as “an immersive and jaw dropping theatrical experience”, The Siege – performed by the Jenin Freedom Theatre at St Mary In the Castle – proved to be a huge success. Gill Knight reports.
