AART (Andy Bridge)

By Daisy Malt | Published on Friday 19 August 2016

There’s something quite appropriate about AART (with two A’s) taking place in a giant inflatable igloo: the show is as weird and quirky as the venue itself. Inside the igloo, instructor Mikey is here to help you realise your dreams through the medium of aart – and it’s not like normal art. Let him take you on a journey of self-actualisation through his unique perspectives on the world. Be ready to immerse yourself in this one: participation is compulsory, so leave your inhibitions at the door. It’s a wonderfully funny parody of artistic education, but there are moments of surprising profundity, which may be entirely unintentional. Make the aart, be the aart, but go along for the endless giggles.

Pleasance Courtyard, until 28 Aug.
