BLOP

BLOP is Bristol’s Live Open Platform for contemporary art held at The Arnolfini.
A fantastic showcase of live art from new and already established artists.
What was great about this event was that it allowed artists to show ‘work in progress’ a valuable chance to share material before it gets shaped into some sort of final form. The audiences were supportive, though largely made up of other artists, and there was a huge variety of all sorts of work.
The event was just £12 for the whole weekend which is pretty good value if your up for spending a few hours there (not so much if you’re only going to see a specific piece).
There were some upcoming local artists performing, such as Openbatch Theatre, with a glimpse of their new work…
Unfortunately, you’ve just missed the March 2010 event but keep an eye out for next year’s dates.
