East Meets West: Exhibition of Contemporary Photography and Moving Image
East Meets West presents the
work of 16 emerging artists working with moving image or photography. This
remarkable exhibition includes extraordinary works that represent the talent and
ambition of artists in the Midlands today.
The artists responded to an open call to practitioners based within the
Midlands, or those who have graduated from a Midlands-based University in the
past three years. The opportunity was devised in response to and was required to
relate to the theme of 鈥楲eisure鈥�.
The exhibition includes an ambitious, fascinating and diverse collection of interpretations, from projects delving into a broad range of 鈥榣eisure鈥� activities and events including walking, swimming, collecting, drinking and travelling. The exhibition is a remarkable commentary on what people do today in their leisure time with projects shown including drinking culture, documenting community-led action to save local swimming baths, a sensitive portrait of a young Shetland Island resident鈥檚 use of his leisure time and an obsessive collector.
