Welcome to QVMAG's FREE Art + Performance series - where musicians, artists, dancers, and actors respond to and give new life to our exhibitions through performance.Join artist and creative arts therapist Melissa ‘Moo’ Lubke and violinist Suzanne Turner as they create an improvised performance in response to Sam Jinks || Mortal Reflections at the Art Gallery at Royal Park.
Through sound and movement, this event invites you to encounter the artwork, Eternal Return — a large-scale orb‑weaving spider, inspired by QVMAG’s Natural Science collection and the newest acquisition of the QVMAG collection.
You are invited to witness — or gently participate in — Suzanne and Moo's interactions with Eternal Return. Suzanne performs improvised and arranged music for violin, using looping and effects to build a contemplative soundscape shaped by pattern and repetition. Moo responds through movement and drawing — shifting from delicate, web-like marks to expansive drawing strokes as the music guides her gestures.
How you can take part:
▪️ Drop in anytime — stay for a few minutes or immerse yourself for the full duration
▪️ Join through drawing — write a small worry or sketch a spiderling on a note as you sit inspired by the performance
▪️ Listen deeply — absorb the interplay of sound and sculpture as the gallery transforms
▪️ Follow the music beyond the walls — let it carry you into your own landscapes
No bookings are required for this free drop-in event. Whether you participate actively or simply listen, you’ll be part of a collective performance that blurs the line between audience and artist.
