Brunswick Town as you’ve never seen it before

Talented local photographer, Toni Tye, has created a photographic montage of the Brunswick area: “Brunswick Town BN3, Portrait of an Urban Community”

“My work is a real snapshot of contemporary life, albeit lived every day against this glamorous Regency backdrop,” says Toni. “I wanted to celebrate all that Brunswick has to offer: its amazing community spirit and its vibrant and creative energy”

Film director, Tim Pope, comments: “”What I love about Toni’s images is that she’s captured everything that’s great about the area, everything that is life-affirming. Toni’s photos give you the whole Brunswick experience: the smells, the colours, the characters, the sights and the buildings.”

Advance limited signed edition copies of the little art book are available now from City Books, Western Road & direct from the artist.

SOLAR SYSTEMS An exhibition by Semiconductor

Solar Systems is a major exhibition by leading Brighton based digital artists and filmmakers, Semiconductor. It is curated by Lighthouse, in partnership with Phoenix Brighton, for Brighton Digital Festival.

Semiconductor examine our physical environment, using science and digital craft to create artworks that question our place in the natural world.

Solar Systems is their first major exhibition in the South East for four years. It draws together three recent installations that explore our relationship with the Sun.  The three works use different technologies – photography, satellites, and CGI – to observe the interactions between our nearest star and the Earth.

Heliocentric is a stunning single channel digital video installation made from time-lapse photography and astronomical tracking of the Sun’s trajectory across a series of landscapes. The highly acclaimed Black Rain uses images collected by the solar satellite STEREO, which studies the solar wind and the Sun’s coronal mass ejections, as they head towards Earth.  The rarely seen Out of the Light is a time-based sculpture which shows how celestial events, such as a solar eclipse or the transit of Venus, can reveal themselves through the play of light and shadow.

These works are emblematic of the artists’ ongoing investigation of the natural world, which has resulted in major works on astronomy (Brilliant Noise, 2006), and geology (Worlds in the Making, 2011).  Their unique approach has won them fellowships and residencies in significant scientific locations such as NASA’s Space Sciences Lab, the Galapagos Islands and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Their work is part of several international public collections and has been exhibited globally including Venice Biennale, The Royal Academy, Hirshhorn Museum, BBC, ICA and the Exploratorium.

No Walls Gallery presents Shotgun from Brighton artist, Imbue

No Walls, Brighton’s most exciting new gallery, are thrilled to present their inaugural exhibition in their Brighton space with a new body of work by one of the most enigmatic young Brighton artists, Imbue.

Known by many for smuggling his fake heroin and cocaine vending machines onto Brighton Pier, his run in with WKD’s legal team and most recently his hi-jack of Cheryl Cole’s L’Oreal billboards, Imbue’s relationship with popular culture is most definitely a love/hate affair.

Shotgun includes a body of exclusive new original works, prints, collages, mirrors and even balloons with classic logos, icons and imagery manipulated and re-mastered like you’ve never seen them before.
