 ht
DESCRIPTION:LOOK PHOTO BIENNIAL 2024: BEYOND SIGHT\n28 JUNE - 1 SEPTEMBER 2
 024\n\n\n\n\nLaunch: 27 June\, 6 – 8 pm / RSVP\n\nLOOK Photo Biennial 2
 024: Beyond Sight is coming to Open Eye Gallery with three impressive pro
 jects. Looking at stars and seashores\, photo prints and urban lights\, th
 e artists explore the complex human relationships with nature and use phot
 ography as a creative tool for scientific inquiry and environmental advoca
 cy.\n\nThe exhibited projects are:\n\nProtege Noctem by Mattia Balsamini:
  a visual research dedicated to the disappearance of the night. The pro
 ject chronicles the unofficial alliance between scientists and citizens do
 cumenting the harmful effects of artificial light on the natural night sky
  and ecosystems. Light pollution is a significant issue\, and defending d
 arkness is crucial for human health\, scientific research and protecting w
 ildlife.\n\nErosion by Stephanie Wynne: a piece of research and a photogr
 aphic exploration of how post WW2 the structural waste of war was disposed
  of or reused. This reverberates with the dreadful current conflicts aroun
 d the world – when or if a conflict is over\, how does the structure of 
 a city or landscape recover?\n\nPrecious Metals by Melanie King: a projec
 t considering the life cycle of silver and palladium\, from their producti
 on within the cosmos\, extraction from Earth and their uses in photography
 . The project suggests methods and materials that are less harmful to the 
 environment.\n\nMax Gorbatskyi\, Open Eye Gallery Curator\, says: The exh
 ibition explores the interplay between human intervention and natural proc
 esses\, shedding light on the often unseen or overlooked consequences of u
 biquitous human practices. By addressing cosmic\, terrestrial\, and daily 
 subjects\, the projects underscore the increasing complexity of human rela
 tionships with nature guided by consumption and ambition. The artists use 
 exquisite form and poetic subjects to firmly state the urgency of sustaina
 ble practices\, whether in art or urban planning.\n\nMain gallery show is 
 accompanied by our Digital Window exhibition\, Blast Sheets by Max Boardm
 an. This project (created in the Lake District\, Cumbria) explores the re
 lationship between the natural and the altered environment – focusing sp
 ecifically on the development and scale of the process of quarrying. The i
 mages display the enormity of the industry and the historical and contempo
 rary scars that are accommodated by the natural landscape.\n\nThe LOOK Pho
 to Biennial is building on from the six week long exploratory Climate Lab
  which took place between January and March 2024. Open Eye Gallery invite
 d researchers\, artists\, academics and visionaries to take over the galle
 ry and use it as a lab space\, showing work in progress and talking throug
 h ideas to tackle climate change.\n\nMore exhibitions and events developed
  with a range of partners will be announced throughout the summer in Liver
 pool\, Wigan and Cumbria as LOOK Photo Biennial 2024 continues.\n\nLOOK Ph
 oto Biennial is a photography festival delivered by Open Eye Gallery. Taki
 ng place in sites across the North West\, LOOK’s programme operates as a
  cultural exchange both locally and internationally.\n\n\n
