[spectre] Brighton Festival Exhibition previews - Friday 4 May

[Honor Harger]

Dear Spectres,

Just in case you are able to get to Brighton this week, I would like  
to invite you to our exhibition previews taking place on Friday 4 May.

The series of openings begins at 16.30 at Lighthouse with a preview  
of 'Audience / Performer' by Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard.
The evening continues with an opening at the University of Brighton  
galleries, before the launch of 'Sea of Voices' by Invisible Flock  
and a chance to see 'I See Infinite Distance Between Any Point and  
Another' by The Otolith Group - both co-commissioned by Lighthouse.

The full schedule of previews is included below.

Best wishes,

Honor Harger
Director. Lighthouse
