'All Over the Place' opening night

Come one come all to our next exhibition opening! 'All Over the Place: Drawing Place, Drawing Space' opens tomorrow evening from 6-8pm at SAB Gallery. Among the 17 artists involved, 4 are lecturers in the School of Design. All are inspired by the relationship between space/place and drawing - with varied resulting images.







Hope to see you tomorrow, and if not, the show is on until 23 October 2010.

Curator Mel Gooding to speak at SAB Gallery

Next week, on Thurs 28 Jan 2010 at 6pm, eminent art writer and critic Mel Gooding will speak at the Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery about curating our current exhibition 'A Discipline of the Mind.' The event is free and open to all, so it's a great opportunity to hear this experienced curator discuss his concept and methodology.

Mel is a fascinating individual, with plenty of stories about figures in the art world he's met in the course of his work - in particular, the many audio interviews he's conducted with major British artist in the past decades for the National Life Stories: Artists' Lives project. Well worth dropping by to meet him!
