Negative Space

15/05/2013

Negative Space will be at this weekend's Art Flea event at the Goods Shed, Stroud. Installed in SVA's long-suffering van, we'll be showing a special programme of short films by directors as various as John Smith, Guy Maddin and Nick Abrahams, all of which are to be viewed while wearing shorts* - and drinking shorts!

(*If necessary, shorts will be provided.)
