White on White

Following children's exhibition I See Red, White on White is an exhibition brimming with the imaginative possibilities of white.

It includes new or recent works by artists including Sean Kerr, Steve Carr, Scott Eady, Simon Shepheard, Niki Hastings-McFall and Gregor Kregar, with highlights from the collection by Eileen Mayo, Ando Hiroshige, Peter Robinson and Jude Rae.

There are also interactive exhibits to keep younger visitors entertained - a scientific machine investigating the nature of white light, an artwork in fake fur by Simon Shepheard and a miniature photo booth that allows visitors to make and email their own creations inspired by Steve Carr’s photography.

Families are welcome to the official opening of the exhibition - complete with free entertainment from Morris & Morris, giveaways and Mr Whippy ice cream - on Sunday 23 November from 11am to 3pm.

I See Red and White on White are the first two in a series of three exhibitions that are intended to encourage young audiences to consider the use of colour in art. The third exhibition in the series will focus on the colour blue. These colour-themed exhibitions follow the successful Ape to Zip and Art Detective, both interactive exhibitions aimed at younger visitors.

Curator: Ken Hall.
