Biography
C. Bain, Gregory Carlock, Joseph Jude, Tim Greaves, Wendy Shaw
At our Falschrum Playground, an amazing line-up of artists and authors will present their work, following the logics of a playground: entertaining, colourful, and involving a large variety of genres and formats (poetry, essays, shadow puppet theatre, audio-visual slide projections, DIY workshops, divination). Visitors are invited to discover the Falschrum office and studio, engage with our publications and the artwork on display, as well as chat with the artists and authors. As on a playground, where parents watch their children play, and occasionally play with them, visitors are invited to participate in our creative writing exercises, projecting colours workshop, and the-end-is-nigh divination sessions.
