Knowing Place 
June 26 – August 7, 2015
We now live in a world in which we constantly move between places. Many of us uproot and move on. But when we move elsewhere do we lose the connection with the place from where we came? Do we identify as being part of the new place – its culture, language, and environment, or is the area of our birth always within us?
This group of artists explore their individual approaches to knowing place.
O
pen Art Exhibition 2015
9 May – 20 June 2015
66 artists put in their work to be selected by CliveHicks-Jenkins, who had a difficult task as all work submitted was of a very high standard. If the gallery was twice as large then all work could have been shown! As Clive said it was a pity there was not another salon around the corner where those that could not fit into Gas Gallery were shown, in good Open Exhibition tradition.
