LOSTExhibition open Tuesday - Sunday 10am - 3pm until Sunday 28 September

Losing something means that it becomes mis-placed falls out of sight and is in a sense taken out of the flow of time

For every one artwork that might get shown and written about there is another swathe of high quality works that have a different story to tell

Dr Michele Whiting Curator

Our new exhibition LOST stems from a series of thoughts and conversations around providing a re-platform for art that has for whatever reason disappeared from view

Digital works that were feared to be lost have been recovered from now obsolete formats and works hidden away after a shift in politics now illustrate moments in history

With works dating back to the 1960s LOST provides an alternative art history and an opportunity to explore the fascinating stories that art has to tell

Last year it was superheroes This year Hoodwink returns with a Fiesta that is out of this world Artistic Director Stephanie Jalland told us more about her interpretation of the theme lsquoArtificial Thingsrsquo and all the fun and games you can expect from this yearrsquos free family day

How have you interpreted the theme of Artificial ThingsARTificial - a celebration of all things out of this world There is something for all the family to enjoy - this yearrsquos Family Fiesta encourages you to go out of this world and try new things and a new way of looking at the world around you

What is real what do we expect to see and how can we surprise ourselvesThe Buschellini Trio will play familiar tunes but with unfamiliar instrumentsYou can zoom in and have a go at garden design but in miniature on a plate Become a living work of art yourself and paint your face as a painting or like a famous artist - think Picassorsquos moustache or Frida Kahlosrsquo monobrow You could even step outside of the everyday and learn to Samba

Look out for Hoodwink performers and props and create new stories Fraser Hooper is of course just an out of this world funny man who stretches our expectations of comedy and what performance can be like

For those older Family Fiesta goers there are a few TED talks that examine how we perceive reality and more so there is something for everyone to do to see to hear and to dance

Are cuddly toys invitedEach year we invite you to bring teddies or toys along to share the fun so donrsquot forget them there have been spectacular leaps from the tower and amazing catapult jumps across the main space - what will they get up to this year Remember not to bring your most precious teddy or toy just in case they get carried away

Why did you choose Lulo Reinhardt for the autumn seasonI thought Lulo would be a good choice for the Autumn season because he is obviously a really outstanding musician with an international reputation and standing The fact of his famous family name and filial relationship with the truly legendary Django Reinhardt offers a lsquoway inrsquo for people who may not have come across Lulorsquos music before

World-class GuitarLulo Reinhardt and Darren HodgeFriday 19 September 8pm

Where did you first come across Darren HodgeI first heard Darren Hodge play some time ago during a South West Music School residential event when Darren was a part of the Music School His talent was absolutely obvious and at that point he was only sixteen years of age I now help Darren as his mentor with an Arts Council funded mentorship programme and it is a pleasure to encourage such an outstanding musician

What makes Darren stand out from other young guitaristsDarren is absolutely devoted to his music typically practicing for four hours or more every day His sensitivity and speed of playing is remarkable and derives from both a sincere passion and a devotion to the craft of the instrument
