Admission is free.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The exhibition explores how people remember others and how they relate to their memories, using animation, dance, and mixed media.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Ms Obando&#8217;s work is known for its experimental approach, and she uses a wide range of materials, including watercolour, charcoal, oil pastels, acrylic paint, and more, to create expressive moving images.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  After completing an MA in Character Animation at Central Saint Martins, Ms Obando began exploring an experimental approach to animating fine art materials.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In 2025, she was awarded the Selector\u2019s Prize in the Chapel Arts Studios Open Exhibition, which gave her the opportunity to present a solo exhibition at the gallery.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The Angel in the House is Ms Obando\u2019s first solo exhibition.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The opening event on October 3 will feature live performances at 5.30pm by Oko Mar and Zuriel X.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Oko Mar, a duo composed of Franziska B\u00f6hm and Hannah Archambault, will perform Everything in between, a work exploring what is blurry, full of shades, doubt, and questions.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Zuriel X, a poet and multidisciplinary artist, will perform two poems, Bridge and My Spirit&#8217;s Healing.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  On October 24, visitors can join Marian Obando and curator Fiona Cassidy for an artist talk from 3pm to 4pm.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The conversation will explore the ideas, processes, and inspirations behind The Angel in the House.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  This will offer an opportunity to hear directly from Ms Obando about her experimental approach to animation and her exploration of memory, dreams, and the body.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Together, the exhibition, opening performances, and artist talk create a space for considering memory as both intimate and collective \u2013 something experienced through images, movement, sound, and the body.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The Angel in the House will run from October 3 to October 31, with the gallery open from Wednesday to Saturday, 11am to 4pm.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The opening event will be on October 3, from 4pm to 6pm, with performances by Oko Mar and Zuriel X at 5.30pm.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The artist talk will be on October 24, from 3pm to 4pm, with Marian Obando and curator Fiona Cassidy.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The exhibition will be held at Chapel Arts Studios, and admission is free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Angel in the House, a solo exhibition by Marian Obando, will open at the Andover venue on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":773136,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6225,6485,6486,1120,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-773135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=773135"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773135\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/773136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=773135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=773135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=773135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
