SUMMARY:Open Eye Gallery: Open Eye Gallery: Open 2 - Pieces of You
DESCRIPTION:Viewing: Thursday 14 April 2016\, 18.00 - 20.00\n Exhibition ru
 ns Friday 15 April - Sunday 5 June 2016\n\nThe second exhibition in the Op
 en series presents six new and early career artists predominantly from the
  North whose work came to us through submissions and expressions of intere
 st. Open provides a platform for displaying new work and a forum for discu
 ssion thanks to a rich programme of public events unfolding throughout the
  duration of the exhibition.\n\nIn Pieces of You\, each of the six artists
  share a curiosity in exploring how we gather and make meaning of our expe
 riences. When we choose to photograph a moment\, perhaps we imagine lookin
 g at it again in the future\, showing it to a friend\, or sharing it onlin
 e – but we make it part of our story. From a dog-walk to a christening\,
  moments in a coffee shop or reflecting on our past\, how do we use images
  to make sense of ourselves and express ourselves? What do your photos say
  about you?\n\nWith the support of the Brian Mercer Charitable Trust\, we 
 are proud to present a series of three annual Open exhibitions to show wor
 k received through our on-going call for Exhibition Submissions. Establish
 ed at the gallery in 2013\, the submission process enables practitioners a
 t all stages of their career\, who use photography as their medium\, to sh
 are their latest ideas and projects with us.\nPhotography offers a way to 
 tell a story\, to fix a moment for review\, from one perspective or one ti
 me – but how ‘true’ is that picture of a sculpture\, a friends face 
 at sunset\, your best selfie?\n\nPeter Watkins’ The Unforgetting examine
 s the artists German family history through objects\, places\, photographs
 \, and narrative structures circulated within his family. Phoebe Kiely’s
  They Were My Landscape presents scenes from her life\, collected as an ac
 t of curiosity and compulsion. Photographer Stephen Iles and sculptor Nico
 la Dale collaborate to explore the possibilities of photography to communi
 cate an understanding of a subject. Sam Hutchinson’s project I Used To T
 hink You Were Normal reflects on the simulated worlds of game shows and th
 e motivations of their contestants. Designer and artist Thom Isom presents
  a new way of experiencing the exhibition through a limited edition public
 ation.\n\nThe exhibition offers new ways of experiencing and thinking abou
 t photography – making structures within the gallery to enter the artist
 ’s narrative space\, toying with standard ideas of display. We will be b
 uilding a working black and white darkroom inside the gallery to elevate t
 he process of capturing and sharing photography to somewhere between resid
 ency and exhibition\, and working with a sculptor/photographer collaborati
 on to explore the boundaries of the knowledge available in the photographi
 c image.
