‘THE ArtsFORUM PRESENTS…’

27th September – 8th October 2010
Private View 5 – 8pm 2nd October

Brighton Media Centre Gallery
15 – 17 Middle Street

As part of the 2010 Photo Fringe Festival, the ArtsFORUM is pleased to present ‘THE ArtsFORUM PRESENTS…’a celebration of current photographic practice by local photographers, and past ArtsFORUM presenters, Peter Gates, Moira Blackwell, Richard Roland, Nick Adams, Evangelia Voutsaki, Abi Sidebotham, Karoki Lewis, James Reid, Christopher King, Vanessa Jones and Beatrice Haverich.

Since March 2009 Vanessa Jones and Beatrice Haverich have been running monthly ArtsFORUM sessions at the Brighton Media Centre Gallery, enabling lens-based artists to present an unfinished project to local image enthusiasts.

The ArtsFORUM nurtures ‘art in progress’ through offering a platform for peer feedback and networking. Feedback on our work has proven critical to many of us involved in the arts and for many it is through the process of articulating the profundity of our projects that we begin to unravel the complexity of our ideas.

This exhibition is to celebrate the variety of work by previous ArtsFORUM presenters, curated to emphasise their strength, skill and style. The exhibited images and moving images have been carefully selected to stimulate appreciation for the artist’s work and collectively to represent the diverse expressions and achievements of the current visual art scene in Brighton.

Photography has the ability to evoke emotion and cause change. ‘THE ArtsFORUM PRESENTS…’ aims to be a part of the provocative process, to inspire any individual by presenting not only a single photograph but intensifying stimulation from the deliberate presentation of a carefully selected group of works.
