Closed for Install
Open Eye Gallery is now closed to the public whilst we install our next exhibitions.
Please join us for our 2017 Launch Night, Thursday 5 January, 6-9pm.
In 2017 Open Eye Gallery celebrates it’s 40th Birthday Year!
Over this 40 year period, Open Eye Gallery has exhibited some of the world’s most inspiring and insightful photographers. We have championed the agency of photography as art, as social and historical document, and as integral to the cultural impact of music, fashion, architecture and many other disciplines.
We will be unveiling a brand new Wall Work featuring snapshot-quotes from 40 people who have shaped and grown the organisation, reflecting upon their experience of Open Eye Gallery.
We are delighted to launch our 40th birthday year with a brand new exhibition exploring the influence of the North of England on fashion and visual culture, North: Identity, Photography, Fashion.
The exhibition features work from some of fashion’s most notable image-makers. Early photography by Jamie Hawkesworth and Alasdair McLellan, dating back to the first years of their careers, is shown alongside historic prints from Glen Luchford and Nick Knight. Original prints from Luchford’s first ever shoot, a session with The Stone Roses for The Face in 1989, will be on display. Additionally, work by contemporary artists such as Turner Prize winners Mark Leckey and Jeremy Deller will be exhibited.
Co-curated by Lou Stoppard and Adam Murray.
Exhibition Continues:
