New Brighton Revisited
14 July - 25 August 2018
THE SAILING SCHOOL, MARINE POINT, NEW BRIGHTON
An exhibition by Northern Narratives, in partnership with Open Eye Gallery.
This group show brings together for the first time the New Brighton pictures of internationally renowned British photographers Martin Parr, Ken Grant and Tom Wood. Showing in the town from which the pictures stemmed, this innovative exhibition records 3 decades of New Brighton through the eyes of the 3 photographers as they lived and worked in the town.
Parr, Grant and Wood found themselves basing their early lives and careers within the New Brighton area. All three discovered a fascination and beauty in the town – within its streets, its seafront, its visitors and its residents. Each photographer captured, in their individual styles, moments of the town’s life from the late 1970s to the end of the 1990’s.
Supported by Arts Council England and Wirral Council.
