Bruce Asbestos is a Nottingham based artist, whose multi-disciplinary practice explores popular culture, folklore and fairy tales. Asbestos’s interest in Japanese, European, and American culture and our collective relationship with commerce incorporates itself in his installation, performance, painting, video games and clothing.

Led by Bruce himself, the online workshop will provide a select number of creatives an opportunity to understand 3D open source software Unreal Engine from an artists perspective. During the workshop, Bruce will demonstrate his own work using the software, and guide participants to create their own journey’s through digital, sculptural worlds.

From this, a web-based community exhibition featuring the outcomes of the workshop, will be created and presented by Modern Painters, New Decorators.

The workshop will run over the course of three hours and will explore an artistic interpretation to using Unreal Engine to create 3D Worlds, demonstrations of how to use the software and an insight into the life of a practicing artist.
