The Sketch House at The Exchange

About

Join the surreal world of The Sketch House where artists, performers and the public respond to Robert Therrien's exhibition of oversized domestic objects through improvised sound, live music, performance, installed art, storytelling, drawing and poetry workshops, culminating in a happening on 5th September, bringing to life what gets created over the sessions.

You can get involved by sending us something made in response to your house: a drawing, a photograph, a memory, a story, an object, a sound recording, a poem, a surreal object or an imaginary room. We will exhibit it in the Sketch Your House installation in the gallery. Email an image to thesketchhouse@gmail.com or drop it off at the gallery.
