Vision Up • 7 October 2023
Art exhibitions, otherwise known as paintings on walls to
look at… except this one isn’t like that. From October 7th 2023,
UpCo in Otley will host an exhibition of art made around the theme of looking
at things differently, and specifically through visual impairment: work that
can be seen, touched and stroked, even art to be looked at in the dark. This is
three artists playing with how art can be experienced – landscapes, reliefs,
tactile surfaces that invite you to do more than just look.
There will be a Vision Up opening with all three artists and
live music on Saturday 7th Ocotber. Then on Thursday 26th
October Vision Up will continue the show’s theme with an evening concert by
comedian and member of the Young ‘Uns David Eagle. And on November 9th,
artist and teacher Shane Green will lead a drawing and painting class that will
encourage us to look differently, playing with darkness to find new approaches
to making work.
The three artists are Shane Green, Jim Adamson and Mick
Jaques.
Limited tickets for the David Eagle
concert available in the UpCo shop.
