I was in Plymouth last night to photograph the Late Night Lido Endeavour, an artist’s film event staged by the Plymouth Arts Centre over the last three evenings at the Tinside Lido amphitheatre on Plymouth Hoe and curated by the artist Tim Knowles whose Wanderlust solo exhibition is showing at the Plymouth Arts Centre currently. Mr Knowles himself is featured above just before Sunday’s screening, and post swim (and it was a cold evening… Paula Orrell from the Plymouth Arts Centre also had a swim but was wearing a wetsuit if that tells you anything). The recent heatwave seems a long time ago now but the clouds cleared and made for a dry evening at least and although not too many braved the water there was a good turnout and it was nice to see the Lido put to good use since its refurbishment. The theme of the event was films that ‘explore ideas of endeavour, where the artists place themselves in challenging, potentially dangerous and unpredictable situations’ which for some reason makes me recall a number of past assignments…
What a shame I couldn’t make it…great photo’s though Simon, sharing a snippet of Sunday’s Lido antics. Thank you.
