The picture above is Boundary II by Barbara Walker. Looking at it on screen really doesn’t do it justice though and I wholeheartedly recommend you go along to Birmingham Seen at BMAG to see it nice and big.
It’s a great exhibition with a fair few highlights – the early photography of the city is absorbing, the Derek Fairbrother timelapse is morbidly fascinating with few sticking around to watch it a second time and the 1940′s (?) plans for the city’s civic area were .
I also loved the paintings by Paul Hill, a long-time Castle Vale resident. Unfortunately it’s tricky finding any decent examples of his work online. I also liked Michelle Lord‘s work, including this titled Ultimate City #1:
So yes, get along and see it if you can. It’s at the Gas Hall until 3 Jan.
Me mum’s coming up this wkend so going to go and see this with her. There’s a BMAG tour of Bham People & Places at 2.30pm this Sat. Meet in the Round Room.
Agreed. Visited last Friday and thought it was a brilliant exhibition.
