Public Art Georges House Gallery Celebratory Arts Training & Education The Giants Project
The Familiar 

Peter Oetzmann will be exhibiting his award winning series, Picture This, alongside his most recent work produced over a two-year period whilst living in Mongolia.

The exhibition not only questions our relationship and understanding of the photograph but also highlights from where we draw our references to enable us to interpret the image.

The Mongolian work displays how the portrait photograph remains encoded within the context of portrait painting whilst challenging many of its traditions.

Flights of Fancy 
An investigation into the concept of ‘White Cube’ as the contemporary gallery space, by ten members of Ashford Visual Artists. This intervention is the fruition of a one year collaboration between artists, resulting in sound, and sculpture, in paper and mixed media which swarm and swoop, filling the gallery with individual flights of fancy. Munroe, Jane Richardson, Mary Sampson, Ron Sampson and Carol Stump address issues around communication, containment, fragility and flight within the framework of the cube.
Specular Reflection: The White Show 
‘Specular Reflection: The White Show’ – encompassing light, reflection and the restriction of the colour palette. An exhibition of new work by White Shed artists consisting of painting, sculptures, mixed media and installation works. ‘White is a word often associated with 'blank', but white reflects and absorbs subtle nuances of colour from light itself. The subtlety of white requires close attention, inner reflection and calm - qualities hard to find in a saturated world’
Memories of Summer  
After several successful art shows in The Netherlands, Strange Cargo is very pleased to announce Martine Pieck’s next solo exhibition entitled “Memories Of Summer” from July 23 until August 4. Martine will exhibit paintings of objects and landscapes brought to life with a summer theme.

Residence 
The photographs on display form part of an on-going body of work created at the homes of former artists and writers throughout the south of England, and were taken over a three month residency at Bateman’s, the former home of Rudyard Kipling.
