Offsite Exhibitions @ De Montfort Hall
Book of Optics Pt1 – Patrick Davies
22 November – 28 December
For the first of a series of exhibitions exploring the subjective and objective use of photography by contemporary photographers and artists.
Combining performative aspects to photography, focuses on the identity that we express to others, the truths, lies and experiences that make us who we are, or more specifically, make the artist who he is.
Book of Optics Pt2 – Arlene Burnett
10 January – 1 March 2009
Burnett’s work is primarily interested with the transformation of spaces in a state of flux. These transformations and interventions are often achieved by simply arranging discarded objects found at the scene to create a potential narrative or a sculptural arrangement.
