Award-winning artist duo ‘The Girls’ will perform a live art installation on Ladies Day at the Endorse-it in-Dorset Festival on Sunday 12 August at 3pm.
United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland (Press Release) August 8, 2007 --
The Girls are artists Zoe Sinclair and Andrea Blood, both 31, who grew up in Dorset and began their collaboration at Central Saint Martins in 1996.
“This will be the first public performance of our live art installation, 'Garden Party'. In the piece we draw upon the idea of ‘Nyotaimori’ - the Japanese practice of eating sushi from
the naked body of a woman - but give it an English twist!” said Andrea Blood.
The Girls have 2 forthcoming solo shows in London, and have exhibited at The National Portrait Gallery and the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art.
Over the weekend of 10 - 12 August, the fourth Endorse-it in-Dorset music festival will take place near the village of Sixpenny Handley in the beautiful setting of Cranborne Chase. On
Ladies Day (Sunday 12th) everyone is invited to dress up for the day and indulge their most far fetched, dressing-up fantasies.
The festival goes from strength to strength, pulling in visitors and artists from around the globe and has grown from a one day event of 750 capacity, to a 3 day festival of 5,000. Acts this year include The Undertones and Tracey Emin's former partner, musician/poet Billy Childish. Adult weekend tickets are £75 and can be bought from http://www.lgofestivals.com.
