East Quay in Watchet is set to host an evening of food and discussion with the artist Peter Liversidge and art curator Tessa Jackson OBE.

Mr Liversidge is set to give a talk about his practice, and about his work in the East Quay.

The discussion will be followed by a question and answers session in which attendees will be invited to put questions to Mr Liversidge and Ms Jackson.

In 2011 Tessa Jackson was awarded an OBE for her 25-year long service to art. Amongst her many roles she was the director of the Scottish Arts Council and chair of the Edinburgh Art Festival between 2005 and 2010.

Mr Liversidge has put together an exhibit on display at the East Quay gallery, entitled Rural Time.

George Harwood Smith, the curator at east Quay said Rural Time 'conveys the area's identity and cultural heritage.' He said: "This exhibition can’t be encapsulated in one short paragraph; Peter's proposals explore multiple themes and ideas.

They appear not only in the gallery but in the public realm, allowing visitors and the community to digest the show's many avenues in many ways. The collection of proposals come together with a narrative that thoughtfully conveys the area's identity and cultural heritage.“

The exhibition, which will feature chains hanging from the ceiling and a speaker announcing the passing of each minute, is funded by Arts Council England.

The 'Kitchen Conversation' event will take place on Thursday April 20 at 6.30pm the East Quay in Watchet.

Also upcoming at the East Quay is an exhibition by Nye Thompson set to begin on May 20. It is said that: "Nye will use radio signals to transmit a series of images to passing satellites - postcards of the surface of the earth they've left far behind. The satellites become performers, transmitting images back to Earth where they are picked up by antenna."
