Entry during the day is free.
Tickets for the screening and presentation are free, though booking is recommended via bookings@mayflies.co.uk
Star and Shadow is run as a membership venue – membership costs £1 for a calendar year and is available on the door.
Howard Matthew’s previous works include the series Terrestrial, performances where audiences view Matthew navigate an area from a great distance via telescope or long lens camera, and Blip – spectacular public interventions in phone boxes. For Mayflies, Matthew will be creating a new work, responding to the ephemeral format of the Mayflies series. The new, site-specific work will focus on a day in the life of the city and will be presented at the Star and Shadow cinema, an artist-run cinema and exhibition space.
