The Fringe Visual Arts Team has been busy creating environments which focus on you the audience, on the way in which the art is received rather than the artist who produced it, where interaction is the name of the game and the traditional roles of artist, art object and audience are blurred. We will be presenting a diverse range of work including - sound pieces, installations, video and slide projections, paintings, sculpture and photography.

The first is entitled 'Out of the Ordinary' at The Peoples Mission, Corn St, Bath.You can read what you like into the title but we suspect dark forces are at play. It will feature innovative new works selected for their otherworldly, magical or illusory qualities in an environment that is itself 'out of the ordinary'. This will be the first themed exhibition curated as part of Bath Fringe Festival and signals a development in programming that invites national as well as local artists' involvement

Artists involved include Jim Friedlander who explains his approach.
"As a response to secular life, many folk find some kind of spiritual journey of enlightenment necessary. Fueled by a fascination in burial ceremonies, ancient death masks, and ancestral mythologies, votive offerings, and witchcraft I embarked on my own bedroom grail quest. The resulting sculpture is an attempt to express a spiritual context (ritual, cultic, liturgical) within the hocus pocus of 'the quest".

Amy Marshall describes her work as simulated space photographs: 'Everyday substances are manipulated to form loosely crafted models, photographed in a way that suggests reality. Cauliflower florets become the billowing smoke from a rocket launch and the contours of the earth's surface are replaced by pancakes floating in a washing up bowl.
