The nature of Bury, Kerry Morrison
Kerry Morrison is an environmental artist who works within the public sphere, engaging with ordinary people. She creates artwork in response to environmental issues within a given locale, relating them to the wider global context. Since 2000 she has worked in collaboration with ecologists, environmental scientists and conservationists. Whether she works in collaboration or independently her approach can be described as a process-led socially engaging, art/ecology practice that investigates the relationship between humans and nature.
She explores the nature of Bury in this exhibition, which, continuing her 'process led' method of working, will evolve over the duration of its run of approximately 16 weeks.

The Irony of Flatness - Gallery Exhibition
As a mark-making act, drawing can simply be represented as (and be representational of) transfering the three or more dimensions of reality down to two - flatness. The irony of flatness is a challenging exhibition of contemporary drawing, which examines the possibilities and power of drawing. Through it, working with shadow, line and gesture, the artists taking part investigate the experience of the act, the space of the act, the moment of the act, and the concept of the act. The internationally renowned artists featured include Marianne Eigenheer, Stefan Gec, Rachel Goodyear, Robert Grenier, Kristian Gudmundson, Alan Johnston, Ulrich Ruckriem and Karin Sander.
Time/Date:
19 July 2008-08 November 2008

On G. Delph.St. Steve Miller - Gallery Exhibition
Steve Miller's work contains language alongside images in the form of conversations, quotes and observations; he wittily juxtaposes different styles, cultures and periods of time. His non-animated film sequences, storyboard formats and single images are concerned with the absurdity of context, and are often employed to ironic effect. They illustrate everyday paradoxes, and the dialogues within the works are usually self-contained. Biographical details can be read as personal ideas that also suggest the commonplace in a wider context, rather than something that is purely self-centred.
Time/Date:
19 July 2008-08 November 2008
Tuesday to Friday, 10am to 5pm and Saturdays, 10am to 4.30pm.
