Join us for an Artist-in-Conversation event on the occasion of Stephen Appleby-Barr's exhibition of paintings, Mesocosmos. The artist will be speaking with Professor Maria Fusco, Professor of Interdisciplinary Writing at the University of Dundee, and author of the exhibition catalogue. They will be discussing Stephen's paintings, his methods, inspirations and influences − and his 'café', the habit of opening up his kitchen window in Hackney Wick to serve coffee and drinks to friends.
The catalogue of the exhibition will be available for purchase at this event.
