Both artists' work is site specific and utilises intense colours in its execution. Sarah Foque creates installations with straight bands of colour, responding to a site's history and people's movement through it. James Johnson-Perkins uses references to popular culture of the 1980s to create works of play and nostalgia. His installation at Cecil Sharp House will span all four storeys of the building through the centre of the staircase, whilst Sarah Foque's multi-coloured lines will be immediately viewable from the main entrance. The English Folk Dance and Song Society cordially invites you to the private view on Thursday 9 July, 6.30 - 8.30pm.
