IN THE PICTURE

Curated by SCOPE
Imagine realising that as a disabled child you are invisible in the books you see...
This exhibition of original illustrations, including work by Quentin Blake, is part of how the In the Picture campaign is looking to inspire the book world to include disabled children and is one way SCOPE aims to challenge and eradicate disablism.
OUTSIDE ARCHITECTURE
19 February - 13 March 2009
A three way collaborative dialogue by artists Bernice Donszelmann, Mary Maclean and Tim Renshaw, responding to the gallery space.

An artist's talk will take place during the exhibition.
BEING BRITISH
18 March - 17 April 2009
Curated by Alice Correia
Being British seeks to discover how a sense of national belonging - or not belonging - has been expressed in recent art? What can we learn about ourselves, and our society, from contemporary visual representations of the nation?
Works included in this show illustrate some of the different temporary and conflicting views of British identity that collectively help define this nation.
Exhibiting artists include Turner Prize winner Chris Ofili, Shezad Dawood, John Duncan, Seamus Harahan, Hew Locke, Natalia Mali, Henna Nadeem, and Xi Juan Jun and Cai Yuan.
