• Artists and curators are also responsible for invigilating their own shows – each show must be open to the public for a minimum of one weekend ( 11am – 4pm Saturday and Sunday).

Latest exhibition @ 36 Lime Street, Cath Campbell

@ 36 Lime Street Gallery

Gallery opening times:
Saturday 18th & Saturday 25th January, 12pm – 5pm

there will be time, there will be time presents four new large-scale photographic prints by Cath Campbell.

Each image captures a moment from a video of a stranger’s tour of the Empire State Building, found by the artist on YouTube. Subtitled by Google translate, the original narrative accompanying the video is transformed into something strangely compelling and poetic. Divorced from their original language and visual progression, the images become cinematic escapes into the unknown.

Using virtual means to travel the world, Cath Campbell appropriates found images, films and stories, to create scenarios of vicarious adventure and exploration, deliberately challenging notions of truth, reality and desire.
