British artist Layla Curtis presents a solo exhibition of work at Spacex in central Exeter, including a new commission entitled Antipodes (working title), 2013 and Tong Tana, 2012. Curtis’s work has a focus on mapping and the ways we represent terrain and locate ourselves and our movements through space.
Layla Curtis received her BA Fine Art from Edinburgh College of Art (1998) and her MA Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art (2000). Her work, featuring in collections including the Tate Collection, and the Government Art Collection, is exhibited widely.

The National Theatre Live Screening from London of 'This House' - a new play by James Graham
It’s 1974 and the corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of infighting and backbiting as Britain’s political parties battle to change the future of the nation, whatever it takes.
Biting and energetic, This House strips politics down to the practical realities of those behind the scenes who roll up their sleeves, and on occasion bend the rules, to manoeuvre a diverse and conflicting chorus of MPs within the Mother of all Parliaments
Festival faves Hobo Jones and The Junkyard Dogs play wild acoustic versions of classic tunes interspersed with on-stage antics guaranteed to get you bouncing and laughing. Tramp-rock at its finest, irreverent, cheeky and ferociously funny!
Pyrates play sea shanties with attitude, which always turns into a sing-along, amidst a veritable Arh-mageddon of naughty nautical chants ‘n’ cheers.
The Salvation Army North York Temple Band will bring presentation of the Gospel of Christ through music which will be vibrant, challenging and uplifting along with the use of established and emerging musical aids.
