LightNight Liverpool 2016
To celebrate Light Night Liverpool 2016, Open Eye is extending its opening until 10pm on Friday 13th May. Alongside our current exhibition Open 2: Pieces of You, we have three specials events. Phoebe Kiely will be giving short tours of the darkroom (6pm, 7:30pm and 9pm) Stephen Iles & Nicola Dale will be creating an interactive intervention (6pm-9pm) and there will be an exciting collaboration between La Bomba Drum Ensemble & Up For Arts Community (8pm-8.20pm).
You can purchase a festival guide from our gallery shop for £1.00.
In anticipation of this exciting city-wide event we have gathered five items for our shop that share a nocturnal theme.
• ILFORD DELTA 3200 B&W FILM: £9.00
Light Night offers audiences an alternative experience of Liverpool’s museums and galleries after dark. Ilford Delta 3200 B&W film is the perfect choice for capturing this exciting one-night event, due to its ultra speed and low light photographic capabilities.
You can find more information about the film we stock here.
• DIANA F+ EXPLORER NOCTURNE: £69.00
In theme with Light Night, we have picked out the limited edition Diana F+ Explorer Nocturne. The camera has a winter’s night design and comes equipped with a flash – perfect for illuminating the night’s events.
• FRANK HALLAM DAY, NOCTURNAL: £32.00
• MACIEJ DAKOWICZ, CARDIFF AFTER DARK: £24.95
These two photographers offer alternative views of the night across two separate continents. In ‘Nocturnal’, Day captures the sub-tropical world of Florida and the transit vehicles that inhabit the landscape. The absence of light transforms Florida into an urban jungle in which man and nature are at odds. The world Dakowicz’s presents is far different. ‘Cardiff After Dark’ is the culmination of five years photographic study, documenting the weird and wonderful side to Cardiff’s nightlife. Superheroes, police cars, stags and hens all inhabit the streets after dark.
