20 June - 20 July 2002 These images celebrate the waning of post-war austerity, with the working classes set to enjoy themselves and live for the moment. Pubs, dance halls and glittering new seaside resorts were the destinations for countless thrill-seeking weekenders determined to forget the daily grind of factories and mills. Combining seaside-postcard sauciness and old-fashioned innocence, they are a far cry from Blackpool's new image as England's 'Lancs Vegas'. This nostalgic and revealing show includes some 50 rarely seen images by photographers including Alfred Gregory, Ken Lambert and Colin Jones. |

Peep Show Fascinated by the concept of the peep show, Vicky Wetherill's work captures its very essence - its titillation, its voyeurism, its secretive nature. This is a world of shadows - of life on the margins - revealed through glimpses that are both provocative and symbolic. Voluptuously curtained neon-lit doorways, with their strategic gaps and seductive folds, become symbolic of the sex act. Footprints, shadows and patches of light provide further visual clues as even clientele become half-seen, anonymous markers of this voyeuristic process. The physical scale of the exhibition provokes a powerful response through life size colour images and tiny intimate lightboxes that compel the viewer to peep. A 64 page hardback book of the same name, published by Dewi Lewis Publishing, accompanies the exhibition. |

The Reading
Room Memories of rainy afternoons spent as a young boy in a reference library on the North East coast of England have inspired Doran's latest body of work. Doran works digitally, initially collecting and assembling ephemera; detritus, scraps of photographs of his sons and his father, typographic fragments, and text which function as visual aids to memory. The exhibition, in three sections, consists of some twenty large and vibrantly coloured images. They are accompanied by a series of artist-made books taking inspiration from popular childhood pastimes. These are boys stories, if you like, but boys stories rooted in migration. |
