SEAN EDWARDS
Anticipation is crucial. The idea of anticipation in a concert is a fundamental part of the experience and is the crucial element to the encore. It is the same with the experience of art; I think the art experience actually begins at the point of ‘knowing of’. It’s why the invitation is key to the activation.

GIORGIO SADOTTI
‘I am you’ is the ability to identify with the other, to project yourself into another situation, another time and place, another way of seeing and believing that is not your own. ‘I am you to’ is the echo, the reminder of potential action.
B. 20th Century, Stockport, based London.
Giorgio Sadotti gained his BA Fine Art from Trent Polytechnic (1978), his MA Sculpture from Manchester University (1979), and his MFA from University of Syracuse, New York (1981). Sadotti has exhibited in solo and group shows internationally since 1993.
