About this event
‘Drunk Minds Speak Of Sober Times’ is a journey through liminal spaces, where Koby Martin uses windows to explore the thresholds between the viewer and the focal point, the uncertainty of the unknown, where public and private coalesce.
Martin’s work is an introspective autobiographical exploration of his life, focusing on themes of family, migration, memory and emotions. His pieces, shaped by his personal experiences and Ghanaian origins, invite viewers to embrace their voyeuristic or Jungian tendencies, using the works as a vehicle for broadening perspectives within the context of Western and Contemporary practices.
About Sarabande Foundation
Sarabande was set up by the late designer, Lee Alexander McQueen, who left the majority of his estate to support creative and visionary talent. In addition to providing scholarships and studio space for artists, Sarabande produces a number of events, from the practical to the inspirational.
Sarabande operates from a listed Stable Block conversion in Haggerston and two Grade II listed townhouses in Tottenham, where 30 studios form a creative community with designers and artists from multiple disciplines. Immersed in the hub of East London’s rich creative spirit, Sarabande exudes all that encompasses the creative sphere. The building is home to a plethora of artisans reflecting the multifarious span of Lee’s talent and the variety of craftspeople he worked with his own collections. Amongst others, our tactile artists include sculptors, fashion designers, jewellers, textile designers, painters, performance artists, silversmiths, costume designers, ceramicists, and dancers. Alongside these, Sarabande also houses filmmakers, animators, photographers, digital designers, and visual artists.
