Exhibitions, workshops and walks

TO coincide with the exhibition Outside The Algorithm, Newlyn Art Gallery and The Exchange is hosting a series of online workshops during August and September, to help participants develop digital skills, including how to start your own podcast and how to navigate your digital presence to boost your career.

There are also two sessions designed to improve mental well-being in September. In partnership with Yew! Magazine and supported by Cultivator, most of the workshops are free, but booking is essential as places are limited.

Outside The Algorithm investigates digital culture, questioning our position as online observers and dares to ask what has this accelerated reliance on technology done for our mental health?

The exhibition offers a stimulating space for interaction and reflection, with a range of media and artworks including interactive projections, a controversial electric-acoustic radio album, experimental film from international female artists, creative coding and meditative GIFs. The exhibition runs until October 9.

There will also be Summer Art Classes with Alice Ellis-Bray on Wednesday afternoons up until August 25. These artist-led outdoor workshops are for children aged 7-13 years, who like to make and imagine.

Georgia Gendall will be holding a Workshop Walk on August 21. Join the artist and her ongoing project Forced Collaboration on a circular walk from Newlyn Art Gallery. The route includes three collaboration points at three distinctly different locations along the way, where participants will create artwork together and in response to a set of instructions. The aim of the walk is to encourage an approach of spontaneity and impulsivity towards the making of art.
