The Empty Shop Open launches on the 28 January 2011 at Empty Shop HQ in Durham. As a part of this event you will have an final opportunity to experience my installation, Pandorum, a site specific piece of work that is hanging in the Stairwell Gallery at Empty Shop HQ. The Celebrations will commence at 6.00pm and continue into the night.
Now in its third year, the Empty Shop Open is becoming something of a tradition for the North East arts scene. As always submissions were open to anyone, with no criteria, brief or limitations other than the contributing artist must be based in the region. In effect the show amounts to a celebration of creative talent and a completely democratic opportunity for local artists to present their work.
For full details of the Empty Shop Open and a programme of events visit http://emptyshop.org/.
Opening night:
Friday 28th January 2011 | 6pm – 10pm
Exhibition runs:
Saturday 29th January – Sunday 6th February | 12pm – 4pm daily

Last Wednesday, the 3 November 2010, saw the opening of the Peculiar Pleasures exhibition at the Milkwood Gallery, Cardiff. The event was marked with a fantastic performance by French artist Arianne Foks which is documented here.
The evening was a huge success with more visitors than we could ever have anticipated joining us to open the exhibition. The gallery was buzzing with anticipation for Arianne’s performance. In the meantime visitors took in the work on display whilst Merve Tuna’s piece The Captains (pictured above) drew a lot of attention from visitors for it’s use of unorthodox taxidermy methods
I must give a big thank you to Naomi Calvert who very kindly provided some of the wonderful pictures here. Do be sure to go check out her website here: www.naomicalvert.co.uk.
The pictures here were all taken at the exhibition Private View. Full documentation of the exhibition will follow. Do be sure to try and get down to the Milkwood Gallery, Cardiff, before the 16 November to see the exhibition. It real is full of Peculiar Pleasures. If you can’t make it do read Naomi’s lovely review on Hack Flash.
