https://www.georgefinlayramsay.com/events
SET Alscot Road, Bermondsey, is delighted to present Volcanoes & Regret by the Scottish artist George Finlay Ramsay.
Ramsay makes performances, films, music, collage and poems. His recent work has been shown at Art Basel, Camden Arts Centre, Internationales Künstlerhaus Villa Concordia and the Barbican. His background is in theatre and the DIY music scene— he trained at Ecole Jacques Lecoq and plays in multiple music collaborations.
