The relationship between fans and music has been explored throughout the Home of Metal project; this panel of artists will investigate that dynamic further. Nicholas Bullen is a Birmingham based sound and visual artist, he founded the band Napalm Death, creating the Grindcore genre and taking Heavy Metal in a unique direction. This panel will invite discussion between Bullen and visual artists who draw upon the genre in their work.

Internationally renowned artist and former Turner Prize nominee Mark Titchner will discuss his current solo exhibition at New Art Gallery Walsall, featuring a video portrait of Bullen.  Damien Deroubaix, a French artist and Grindcore fanatic has collaborated with Bullen to create a new piece of sculptural work that references the work of Napalm Death and their influential album ‘Scum’. The panel will provide a unique opportunity to hear leading artists discuss the process behind these collaborations, and the resulting work, which has all been presented under the Home of Metal banner.
