Dave Reeves: Out The Frame

Contact: info@parkscafe.co.uk

A portrait by the US artist Cynthia Morrison has led to a performance by the poet and performer Dave Reeves at Park’s Café, Droitwich, on Monday 23rd May as part of Droitwich Arts Week.

In 2015, Cynthia produced a piece of artwork for a gallery in the US, itself based upon a photograph of Dave Reeves by Ali McK and, out of the blue sent an email to Dave informing him. But that, it turned out, was just the beginning, for later in the year she sent Dave a photograph of another work based on this photograph hanging as part of a Mail Art exhibition in Berlin, and said that there were more to come. Jokingly, Dave emailed her back saying that perhaps one day he’d be able to go and do a performance in a gallery where one of these pictures was hanging.

Well now that day is here. The chain of events has led to Cynthia currently exhibiting a picture based upon that original photo of Dave in a Mail Art exhibition in Droitwich Spa, and Dave is performing there. The exhibition ‘Let’s Do Shakespeare’, celebrates the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death.

With a performance that will be jumping straight Out The Frame, performance poet and squeezebox player Dave Reeves will bringing his writing to life with the use of props and participation, humour and music.
