Monster Chetwynd in conversation

11 Jun 2023 11am-12pm

Overview

Sophie Crichton Stuart, Director of our Contemporary Visual Arts Programme, will be in conversation with Monster in the Drawing Room at Mount Stuart on 11 June, 11.00am - 12.00pm. 

Monster is known for tackling urgent global issues through a celebratory approach with exuberant and fun performative pieces. Featuring handmade costumes, props and sets, Chetwynd creates joyful outfits and mise-en-scène that often cross the boundaries onto gallery walls. Moths will include sculpture, film and works on paper. 

During her residency at Mount Stuart, Monster has also been working with local school children on a performance based project that focuses on moths: a species she continues to champion and highlight in her work as well as being one which is redolent with art historical allegory. During the preview on 10 June there will be a performance element which will begin at 4pm.
