Lucky Dip 2021 | art cube™
In an effort to democratise access to art funding, a space arts launched the Lucky Dip Bursary scheme, offering ten artists in the SO postcode £500 to fund the creation of a new artwork or activity. As a lucky recipient of one of the five bursaries specifically offered to BAME artists, I developed "art cube™" - trademark pending. Brought to you by the legendary hijabi novice screenplay writer, who has been roaming Southampton in search of a studio and somewhere to live, art cube™ ruminates excessively on the meaning of the ambiguous Ben Howard lyric, "there's coke in the midas touch". art cube™ is an article of cultural bricolage, co-created with local labourers and lads about town, artists Kane Applegate & Rob Price. Critics have remarked that this structure "encapsulates Southampton in all it's blazing glory".
