A Dark Day in Paradise by Clare Twomey 3,000 black ceramic butterflies descend on the sumptuous interiors of the Royal Pavilion. The butterflies cluster on the extravagant Banqueting Room table, across window panes, in roof lights, on mantelpieces and other surfaces throughout the ground floor rooms. Their sombre beauty is a reflection on the excesses and frivolity of the past life of the palace.
Clare Twomey is a British ceramicist/artist who works with clay in large-scale installations, sculpture and site-specific works. Over the past 10 years she has exhibited at Tate, Victoria & Albert Museum, Crafts Council, and the Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto, Japan. A museumaker commission, funded by the MLA and the Arts Council England

Plant Portraits An exhibition of paintings by botanical artists that convey a plant’s technical form and structure as well as its beauty in ways that a photograph cannot.  Botanical drawing has a legacy of historical importance going back to the time of ancient Egypt.  Successful illustrators must be technically highly competent in drawing and painting, with a good knowledge of botany and the ability to convey the sense of wonder of the plant world. The beautiful works of art in this exhibition are complemented by magnificently illustrated botanical books and specimens from the Booth Museum collections. Plant Portraits is presented by the Botanical Art Society of Sussex in conjunction with the Booth Museum of Natural History. Booth Museum of Natural History

Rosie Brown and the Tall Boys + Tim Keegan and other special guests As fresh and enveloping as morning mist - and as disquietingly opaque - the music of Rosie Brown weaves a wondrous spell. So said Mojo of the gorgeous, genre-defying music made by this singer-songwriter and her luscious band. With influences from jazz, folk, classical and country, the songs from their three acclaimed albums are everything from gentle love poem to surreal novella - sweet, sensuous, trippy, cinematic.
Centred on the silken murmur of siren songstress Rosie, who coos sensual pieces about weather, colours and intimacy... the effect is bewitching. She is partnered by producer and co-writer Bernd Rest, whose neat guitar parts (along with Simon Russell’s double bass, and the general air of trippiness) recall vintage John Martyn... Uniquely affecting sounds which unsettle as they seduce. * * * * Mojo Elemental, sensual... Reminiscent of Les Paul backed by Goldfrapp. * * * * Q
