Know any good jokes?

The Boyfriend Auditions explore artist Sadie Hennessy’s own aloneness. They also reflect on the wider cultural phenomenon of many women in the 21st century, who find themselves alone in spite of their best efforts. Everybody seems to be looking for a G.S.O.H (a good sense of humour) in prospective partners, so Hennessy invites
you to come and tell her your favourite joke.


ABOUT THE ARTIST

Sadie Hennessy is an artist, who has expanded her idea of collage to create immersive environments and events. She explores the vital issues of the day, through a dark prism of melancholia, mixed with black humour

Bibliotherapy for the Anthropocene is a performance in the guise of a reading group, a faux-Quaker meeting, a reconvening of the Dead Poets Society. No prior reading is necessary, all participants will receive a strata of reading material as part of the invitationin advance.

Bram will also exhibit sculptural lecterns at OSR Projects and Coker Court. Each lectern is made of a mixture of Cornish hedgerow materials, studio de-clutterings and found detritus.
Developed with the support of Horizon and Plymouth Culture.
