Sorry About Last Night @ Art Sheffield 2016, May 6 – Jun 6

4 May 2016

The Sorry About Last Night group exhibition is on at Sheffield’s The Washington Pub, opening May 6 and running to June 6.

Presented by (It’s all) Tropical art space, the event is running alongside the Art Sheffield 2016 and features work by Claire BoydLaura YuileLindsey MendickLiv FontaineLuke OverinMathew ParkinMillington Marriott and Victoria Fornieles among others.

The multidisciplinary show celebrates work birthed from bad life choices, and is placed between the shiny optimism of getting ready before a night out and the consequent hangover the next day. In sharing truths and slurring emotions the evening seeks what the press release calls “drunken  inspirations, drinking to forget, passionate pub debates, pointless fights with friends, loss of inhibitions, misguided decisions, hungover regrets, next day apologies, and one too many Jaegerbombs [sic].”

A confessional performance/public meltdown by Self Esteem (Rebecca Taylor of Slow Club) will commence at on the evening of May 6, with Karaoke running into the late hours.
