Bug Party
Sunday 30 September 2007, SPACE, 129-131 Mare Street, London E8
SPACE Studios in partnership with The Arts Catalyst hosted Bug Party as part of national arts initiative The Big Draw. Combining science and art in his investigations of insect life and amphibian species in the UK, Ballengée’s exploration of biodiversity and outdoor installation was the primary inspiration for this drawing workshop for all ages. Throughout the day, local Djs supplyied musical entertainment while graffiti artists created pieces that reflected the theme. Ballengée will led an urban bug hunt into the surrounding locality to discover the insect life of Hackney.
