i am too big for this town

In i am too big for this town, installation & performance artist CiCi Blumstein revisits her earlier large-scale work Feature Creature, first shown in the soaring spaces of the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern. Squeezing all the energy and presence of the original installation into the small, but perfectly formed Blank Gallery in Portslade, she invites you to a playful exploration of space and creativity at the edge of town. How is creative and personal space determined, and can it be individually calculated? Using a simple formula adapted from urban planning, visitors to the gallery will be able to stake out their own creative plot to inhabit and take away. The installation is the pilot of a tour which will visit other pioneering art spaces around the UK and abroad, aiming to engage artists and communities in the wider debate about regeneration. Linked events, talks and workshops are also planned.
