My Dog Sighs - artist talk and book signing

My Dog Sighs INSIDE comes to Exeter

About this event

Last year My Dog Sighs’ most ambitious project to date "INSIDE:We Shelter Here Sometimes", transformed a derelict ballroom into an immersive world inhabited by the artist’s own sculptural creatures, dubbed his ‘Quiet Little Voices’ and welcomed 10,000 people through the door over the 16 days of opening.

My Dog Sighs has produced an art book based on his highly acclaimed installation/exhibition. The captivating, beautifully produced photo book reveals all the artwork from INSIDE:We Shelter Here Sometimes as well as a comprehensive and candid documentation of the 18 month journey of the exhibition’s creation. My Dog Sighs has continued the multi layer intriguing theme with the book, creating a game-changing publication that breaks many conventions of the accepted norms of a high end coffee table art book. It is playful and, like the exhibition, encourages discovery of hidden elements that take time to reveal themselves.

My Dog Sighs said “I’m a street artist, working on the street is my passion and at the core of everything I do. When Covid forced us all inside then I, like everyone else, had to change the way I work. This unleashed a surge of creativity which I channelled into my immersive installation and this book. This lovingly produced book is as much inspired by Kit William’s Masquerade as it is by the great street art publications.

My Dog Sighs will kick off the event with a discussion about his creative journey and the project and then hold a question and answer session with the audience. Books, prints and merchandise will be available for sale and there will be an opportunity to get books signed.

PLEASE NOTE: This venue is on a very steep cobbled road. If you use a wheel chair please call us on 079 4646 8447 to arrange assistance.
