I Believe (Tales from the Edge of Everything)
De La Warr Pavilion

RVCC artists were invited to use the line of the horizon at Bexhill on Sea as a starting/end point, and travel to the very ends of their imagination and fall off the side. The collected tales inspired by the uncanny, infinite possibilities, parallel places... and most importantly belief, were played out using live art, intervention, installation, audio & film, serenaded by DJ Sy Hackney with music from The Teeth... The event coincided with Richard Grayson's exhibition.
