Performance, Pleasure, Photography Symposium

Date: 2 May, Venue: Lecture Theatre A16, City Campus  at  1:30pm–5:30pm

The exhibition Performance, Pleasure, Photography will explore the work of two artists; Dawn Woolley and  Jackie Chettur whose works challenge the senses, utilising colour, space, and performance to entice the viewer into a more active role. The fixed-point perspective of the camera is up-ended through staged tableaux and stereoscopic stories which play with visual and psychological games.

The exhibition will run from 23 April until 18 May in the Wall gallery at the City Centre Campus with a special symposium held on 2 May.

The eponymous symposium will be held on 2 May from 1.30pm until 5.30pm in A16 City Centre Campus.

 Artist Biographies

 Dawn Woolley trained as a fine art printmaker at Manchester Metropolitan University. She received a first class undergraduate degree in 2001 and has since developed a photography-based practice that encompasses digital video, installation and performance as well as photo-based installations.  Jackie Chettur works through diverse media and frequently within a site specific and social context. Photographic works have involved the elaborate hand crafting of sets and dioramas created solely for the camera, more recently actors have performed within these saturated settings.
