Both sculptures at the Harris Art Gallery in Preston
Various work from NEO:artists in the shopping centre at Bolton
After a whistle-stop tour of Preston in order to find some cheap books at their Oxfam bookshop and to have a look in the Art Gallery/Museum im Preston and finding the ma
in gallery in changeover at the minute, we decided to fly over to Bolton as qwe had some business to attend in the area.
When we parked on the multi-level, we preceeded on down to the pedestrian area and caught a glimpse of a pop-up gallery by Bolton based NEO:artists. I was quite taken aback by the work on show and they had some very nice text work by Denis Whiteside. I noticed and remembered his work from when I exhibited at the Didsbury Priory awhile back.
I managed to have a little chat to Jason Simpson who had some interesting plaster and spray paint work in the gallery and remebered that we follow each other on twitter. It's always a little strange when you bump into somebody who you don't really know but 'follow' on twitter in real life situations. There's always that slighty deja-vu..metaphysical aspect to it.
All in all, I was glad that we came to Bolton in order to see some contemporary work set in a non-place such as the Market Hall in Bolton.
