O'Neil Lawrence spoke last night

O' Neil Lawrence

He co-curated a show called 'Shot in Kingston' at Alice Yard alongside Christopher Cozier. The show explored ideas of a dialogue between Caribbean artists and the possibilities of new digital media which now, arguably, form a new wave of contemporary art.

The event is part of a series of events marking Alice Yard's fourth anniversary. The final event takes place on Friday and is expected to be an interactive one, featuring the Barbadian artist Sheena Rose.

FROM ALICE YARD:

"Barbadian Sheena Rose was artist in residence at Alice Yard in May 2009, when she presented her animated video work Town. She recently participated in a residency and exhibition in Cape Town. Lauren Hinds is a Trinidadian artist working in the medium of the graphic novel. She recently completed a year-long programme at the Centre for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction, Vermont. Rose and Hinds will spend a week working together, then present their collaborative project to the public, together with recent solo works.
8.00 pm"
