FLEE
Flea market/art fair and performance space…
2pm – 7pm
FREE EVENT
FLEE market is a part of Corsica Studios Summer Programme and will take the format of a flea market, art fair and a performance space where anything is possible. Stalls will include vintage second hand clothing, new designers, illustrators, art stalls and bric a brac.
Featured Exhibition - Ben Harris
In the pop-up gallery for the FLEE Collectives debut show we proudly present an interactive piece by freelance graphic designer ShowmeLove. Ben Harris invites you to be photographed and to participate in his latest photographic piece Family Portrait. Ben is concerned with the notions of time, history and preciousness. Within this piece he is focusing on the transition from how the family portrait from the past was a special, happy and exclusive event to the present day, where he is highlighting the impact of how this ritual act has been eroded through the saturation of such technologies as Facebook. If a family portrait is taken now will people realize where, when or even who is in the photo?
“I wonder what people will feel when sitting in my own memory?”

Featured Stalls;
FLEE has its own zine, run by the talented young designer Laura Williams. Fleezine, in which visitors will be encouraged to get creative drawing inspiration from the various activities and artworks surrounding them at the FLEE market. Participants will be invited to design their own page/s to be featured within Fleezine. The pages then will be collected with the best being selected to feature in that weeks zine, which will be available to purchase the following FLEE. Photographs and highlights of each week’s FLEE Market, along with various interviews will also feature in the zine.
Eleanor Shipman
This stall resembles a Lower Marsh antique market stall featuring alternative ‘souvenirs’ which she made in workshops with local people.
A percentage of profits from this stall will be donated back to the charities involved in making it.
Molly Barron
Molly is an artist and illustrator based in London. She takes inspiration from anything including art, sex, music, photography, film, fashion and all things creative. Watch out for her work!
Christina Mitrentse,
This minimal stall will hold her emblem collection exhibiting and selling her lingerie collection, prints and paper sculptures.
Geraldine Swayne,
Geraldine is a painter of darkly seductive images that oscillate between real and metaphysical realms, between the imaginary and the deeply familiar. These are coaxed out of paint or ink in a highly charged manner, toying evocatively with materials and subjects without pandering to the illustrative, the obvious or the sentimental.
Marie-Gabrielle Fabre,
Marie-Gabrielle devotes herself to many disciplines including painting, video, installation, sculpture and sound however she has decided to come to you and sell these beautiful, exquisitely hand-made pieces of jewellery.
Benjamin Fox,
“Through thrift and financial ruin, my current work utilises found or recycled materials, and I enjoy the transformative and imaginative processes involved in turning junk and waste into more fantastical objects.”
To accompany FLEE there will also be FLEE Bites and BBQ by BonitaxSarita, including scrumptious punch and tasty tea. Because sugar and spice is always nice!
