Bedford’s creative hub at the South Bank Arts Centre
The South Bank Arts Centre at Bedford College
opens its doors to visiting artists and offers local people the
chance to see visionary art in a contemporary setting.
A living art space for the community, The
South Bank Arts Centre stages exhibitions covering a wide range of
art including photography, film, animation, graphic design, fashion
and textiles.
London based photographer Steven Aron Williams
presents “Inverted Luminosity” at the South Bank Arts Centre until
Friday 17 December 2010 (9am – 6pm Mon-Fri).
The exhibition is a result of the artist’s
photographic experimentation, reflecting the energy extracted from
the city at night depicted in a way which is dynamic and erupting.
The cities include London, Copenhagen, Delhi, Tokyo and Kyoto.
Steven said:
“Despite being worlds apart, culturally,
aesthetically and economically, not to mention geographically, I
wanted to show that despite all of these factors, there is an
underlying yet intrinsic energy to be found in every city shaped by
the people who dwell in them as well as the environment we have
created. To illustrate a luminosity, a sense of place, the
city.”
Sue Blackman, Director of Centre for the Arts
at Bedford College, added:
“I am delighted to welcome Steven and other
visiting artists to our gallery space at the South Bank Arts
Centre. They bring their talent, enthusiasm and creativity to
our exhibition space and share that with our students, staff and
local people.
“The South Bank Arts Centre is a community
space for artistic talent and the place where people can access or
create art. I am keen to encourage contemporary artists,
including our ex students, to use the South Bank Arts Centre as a
platform to exhibit their work. It is exciting to see the
variety of art that is exhibited and for our students to meet the
artists and see for themselves what is possible in the world of
art.”
