Join artists Luke Routledge and Dinosaur Kilby in conversation with HSG’s Alex Stubbs as they explore how and why artists build worlds. Both Routledge and Kilby construct imagined universes populated by strange, shifting characters and uncanny narratives. Through sculpture, digital fabrication, painting, and performance, their practices blur the line between storytelling and world-building, inviting viewers to step into alternate realities that feel both familiar and entirely new.
The discussion will delve into how these artists use materials, technology, and mythology to shape their own ecosystems of meaning – from Routledge’s “living, collage territory” of hybrid figures in Sightseers, to Kilby’s playful, often anarchic creations that stretch across sculpture, installation, and digital media. Together, they’ll consider how making art can be an act of invention, community-building, and escape.
The conversation will also touch on collaboration, narrative, and the fluid identities of what inhabits their work. Expect a lively and imaginative discussion about making worlds, telling stories, and the porous boundaries between the real and the fantastical.
