25 June - 29 August 2011
Preview and Artist Talk
Saturday 25 June 2011, 2pm - 5pm (Artist Talk: 3pm) FREE: All Welcome
Please join us to celebrate the launch of Mike Marshall's new ArtSway exhibition. The preview will also include a gallery talk by Mike Marshall, in conversation with Dan Howard-Birt (Assistant Curator, Stour Valley Arts) and Peter Bonnell (ArtSway Curator). Marshall will discuss the genesis of his jointly commissioned project with ArtSway and Stour Valley Arts, and his exploration of the two sites of the New Forest (home to ArtSway), and King's Wood (home to Stour Valley Arts).
For his exhibition at ArtSway Mike Marshall is exhibiting two new video works – It Rained and Controlled Burn – and a series of new photographic works from the project A Prism Splits Light. These works continue to develop Marshall’s investigation of conditions relating to thinking, sensing and activity. Here, this interest is pursued through contrasting notions of organic growth, fire, weather and seasonal change against the persistence of human endeavour and the desire for order and control. Mike Marshall’s new work is a co-commission between ArtSway and Stour Valley Arts, with support from the Barker-Mill Foundation.
Further information on the exhibition can be found here on ArtSway’s website.
