Beats and Forts is set to be an audio visual experience. Artists and musicians include Marianne Wilson (MWX), Sharon Graham (Bit Face), Tom the Noisemonger and Sarah J Stanley.

Beats and Forts is an all day event at Project Slogan where art and music will come together in the construction of cardboard forts and electro performances by participating artists. On Saturday the 5^th the artists will be installing three individual structures into the gallery during the day. The forts will be built live in the gallery and the public is invited to come and watch the construction of the forts. In the evening there will be a musical performance from each musician that involves dirty electronic beats being played from each of the forts.

The daytime event will be free entry but for the night time we will be asking for a donation of £5 and £4 for students.

This event will also run along side “Buy art and Money Is Cheaper”. see projectslogan.com for details.

Marianne Wilson and guests perform and build forts in a daylong event of electro music and sculpture ending in a party.

Artists Brief

Each artist will build a structure in the gallery on the day of the 5^th of March. The structure should be made from cardboard and other materials such as paint, paper etc. The dimensions of the fort will be restricted to: (measure gallery space). It should be taken into consideration that there will be three forts and a crowd of people so your fort cannot be massive.

You can plan in advance what your fort will look like but the actual construction should happen live in the gallery on Saturday the 5th between 11am and 6pm.

In the evening the performances will begin from 8pm and run on into the night. There will be an element of improvisation with the music being made but you can also construct a set to play if you wish.
