Geranium: A Book Launch

Faye Dobinson

A book launch and discussion with the artist authors about creative community and how it was sustained and expanded throughout the pandemic.

Jupiter Art Gallery

Centering around the launch of their book &#x27;Geranium&#x27;, this evening is a wonderful opportunity to hear readings from the artist authors Jackie Chettur and Chloe Cooper and join the discussion about how creativity was sustained through the pandemic and how it can help us move on now.This collection of accounts and stories was written through the early stages of the pandemic, as the authors and friends were struggling to adjust to an altered way of living. As visual artists it took a big leap of faith to use the medium of writing to digest, process and articulate the changes that they were experiencing. The result of their correspondance is the wonderful book &#x27;Geranium&#x27;, which will be on sale on the night. The evening will also feature live marbling with the chance to try it out for yourself, a pay bar and a discussion with artist and curator Faye Dobinson, who runs The Jupiter Project from Jupiter Gallery Newlyn.Chloe Cooper is an artist, educator and devout paper marbler. She writes texts for performative workshops and instructional videos that splash about in the rocky waters of human relationships. Her poetry extends from her performances and responds to sexual politics, consumer relations and bodies at work. She makes zines using marbled paper about knee pain, wearing glasses and drinking wine whilst working from home.Inspired by popular culture Jackie Chettur re-creates recognisable things. Reading projects focus on her memory of literary classics, for example, distilling Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles into one exhausting trek through the landscape of the novel. Jackie also enters more colourful worlds of flower painting and creating public artworks using sailers stories and model ships.
