(Im)Material - Presented By Bobcat Gallery
Independent art retailer BobCat Gallery will host a showcase of textile artworks in their Putney space this January. Co-curated by gallery Founder, Catherine Sweet, with textile artist and costume maker Elly Platt, ‘(IM)Material’ will focus on fresh and unusual techniques applied by artists who work with a variety of textiles in their practice. BobCat Gallery is committed to making original artwork more accessible, through both physical and virtual exhibitions and events. Featuring 50+ artists from all over the UK as well as the USA, Spain and Ukraine, (IM)Material will include stitching, weaving, quilting, tapestry, knitting and crochet as well as new and intriguing applications for fabrics and threads. Catherine says: “Textile art is one of our oldest art forms, and yet I am constantly fascinated by how contemporary creatives continue to push boundaries, as well as incorporating diverse narratives into their work. My vision for this show was to focus on the materiality of these works, and the fascinating ways that these artists manipulate their materials to show us their unique perspectives. I’m delighted to be working with talented artist and designer Elly to bring this collection to life.” Elly says: “As a costume maker and textile artist, I think the materiality of textiles is one of the most valuable things about them. Textiles hold memory and stories; they evoke a sense of time and place. They can be everyday ephemera or precious heirlooms, and they connect us with generations past through the act of making. Textiles are one of the fundamental things that connect us as humans, so it’s wonderful to bring together work by talented artists who share the love of this medium.” As part of the wider exhibition, there will be a dedicated selection of works from members of international arts organisation ArtCan. ArtCan is an artist-led, non-profit organisation, working alongside established galleries and also seeking new spaces to involve audiences in an organic and personal way. The exhibition private view will take place on Thursday 8th January from 6-8pm - book your free tickets via BobCat Gallery. There will also be several free talks and demonstrations from exhibiting artists throughout the exhibition - visit the BobCat Gallery website for more information.Read more

Practically Imperfect
A play with music by award-winning writer, Clare Norburn and BAFTA-nominated BBC director, Nicholas Renton (Mrs Gaskell's Wives and Daughters, Musketeers, Lewis). The very private PL Travers lives quietly in Chelsea. Out of the blue, her very own creation, Mary Poppins, suddenly appears in Travers' study, asking difficult questions Travers would rather not answer. Rather than the Banks family, Mary Poppins has come to sort out the acerbic PL Travers herself. But Travers is a force to be reckoned with too. So who will control the narrative and win the battle of wills? The fun-filled chaos is soundtracked by the kind of music PL Travers really wanted in the Mary Poppins film (Edwardian songs such as Lily of Laguna). Starring acclaimed actor Lottie Walker as PL Travers and a TBC actor-musician as Mary Poppins.Read more
