Hidden Canvases - 'Street Art and the City' A talk by Doug Gillen
2024-02-24 13:00 - 14:00 | Platinum House, Chippenham, 35 Market Place, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3HT, United Kingdom
There’s more to the world of street art than Banksy – Hidden Canvases is a beginner’s guide to the biggest art movement since pop art.
Doug Gillen is the man behind Fifth Wall TV, a London based production channel, and digital platform that investigates all aspects of graffiti and street art. Originally from Scotland. He created Fifth Wall TV six years ago, and he’s been filming and talking about the world of street art and graffiti ever since. From train writing in New York to interactive technology that brings murals to life, the concept of un-commissioned public art is a very different beast to that which it once was.
Hidden Canvases explores the key stages in street art’s growth examining the different elements and styles that comprise the scene with no rules.
From the international superstars to the local underground heroes you’re guaranteed to leave knowing your Invader from your Aryz and who knows – you might even start looking at the world a little differently.
Brought to you by The Arts Society Kington Langley – part of The Arts Society.

Platinum Hall, (please note that the Hall is on the first floor)
Talk is 1 hour 1:00PM – 2:00PM

Got a hankering to have a go at making the Yelde Hall? Always fancied trying to recreate the Angel Hotel or wanted to construct the Buttercross?
Based in the History Centre’s education room with local historian Lucy Whitfield, we’ve got a huge detailed map to work from, loads of photographs of the buildings, and tons of enthusiasm – but we also need you and your building skills to try to create the centre of town as it once was. But, accuracy isn’t the most important thing, and we don’t mind if your version of the Old Palace (now Chippenham Museum) is green and blue and has extra turrets – it’s coming and having a go that counts.
We’ll also take all donations of Lego for our attempt, both in the run up to the event and even on the day – bring them to WSHC reception, or Chippenham Library. All donations will be given to Chippenham Library’s Lego Club after we’ve finished creating our masterpiece.
