The Fist Inside the Velvet Glove, tactileBOSCH’s celebration of our anniversary year.

GLASBREN is a session designed to bring new and known artists into tactileBOSCH, giving us chance to come together and put the world to rights.

For this special edition of GLASBREN, we’ll be opening the doors of the now disused Culverhouse Cross CarpetRight store, offering a unique and rare opportunity to think and play performatively in a raw site that has been left relatively untouched since it closed in 2024.

We want to meet performance artists, artists, art students, and other interested parties who are engaged with (or thinking about engaging with) a performance practice. Strictly informal, we’ll convene alongside members of tactileBOSCH and our in-house performance collective SGOR - there’ll be lots of chances to work/play/spectate.

The day will be split into two parts, with a forum discussion hosted in the morning, followed by an afternoon of closed, improvised performance, responding to the echoes that linger in the site as a former place of labour, loss, and carpet. We’ll gather and work collectively and collaboratively in this one of a kind site, one that promises to offer rich points for performative departure, digging into it’s “environ-mental” qualities and aspects.

If you’re game and would like to attend, please email tim@tactilebosch.co.uk for more details – we can’t wait to hear from you.
