From 15th Sep "The Caravan Gallery is back in town" PDF Print E-mail

image A photographic odyssey in a caravan: distressingly perceptive, seriously thought provoking, beautifully absurd

The Caravan Gallery is a mobile exhibition venue and visual arts project run by Jan Williams and Chris Teasdale (authors of 'Welcome to Britain - a celebration of real life') who are on a mission to photograph the ordinary and extraordinary details of contemporary leisure, landscape and lifestyle. Eager to examine cliches and cultural trends they are drawn to the absurd anomalies and curious juxtapositions typical of places in transition as regeneration fever spreads. Many of these images find their way onto custom made postcards that show it exactly as it is.

Window frames on derelict buildings are transformed into a series of new paintings.

Glancing up at the 1st floor windows of a block of derelict buildings on Knight Street – the viewer may see a series of windows showing the effects of years of neglect. The window frames and glass have been ‘patched-up’ sometime in the past, using some adapted black bin liners and various parcel/masking/hazard tapes. These too are now showing signs of deterioration, and hang precariously from their frames.
