Can We Still Be Friends responds to the polyphony, the push and pull, the
joy and tension of solo and collaborative practices as they rub up against one
another.
This exhibition is the culmination of the arranged marriage that was
Syllabus III. It brings together ten artists from disparate parts of the UK who didn’t choose each other,
but after 10
months of intense and immersive weekend retreats, they became close. They
worked, talked and made things together, danced, wined, dined, cried a bit and
then broke up after a year. Breaking up is hard to do.
Syllabus III is a collaboratively produced alternative learning programme
jointly delivered by Wysing Arts Centre, Eastside Projects, Iniva, New
Contemporaries, S1 Artspace, Spike Island and Studio Voltaire. For more information about The Syllabus,

The Syllabus is supported by Arts Council England and the Fenton Arts
Trust.
