Simon Pope’s “Discussion Island” Series

This February we have the privilege of welcoming not one, but TWO, Winter Island Artists-In-Residence! Island resident and UK transplant, Simon Pope, will join the Winter Island team at Artscape Gibraltar Point to kick off his Discussion Island series of events, artist talks and happenings, a full schedule of which you can find below.

About the series: Discussion Island explores the intersections of geography, social practice, and the act of conversation as an artistic medium. Through a series of site-specific interactions, Pope facilitates discourse regarding the isolated, yet connected, nature of island life.
