Marc Blake , Analogue: Blake paints contemplative, ethereal landscapes that are dispersed with a multitude of characters and motifs that talk of collective concerns as well as his personal experiences. Blake's characters are mined from the media and their original contexts. They play out dream-like, illusory narratives as they relate to one another, passively and actively, harmoniously and apprehensively and engage the viewer simultaneously in the past, present and future.

Wilson Parking Station on Ward Street is the closest parking station to the Gallery.

Fabian Muir- Russia: An ongoing book project on the countries and breakaway republics of the former Soviet Union has seen Fabian travelling these diverse regions with his camera for almost a decade. Inevitably Russia is at their heart. Fabian is fascinated by the complexities and unexpected juxtapositions to be found in any country, and these are the themes he seeks to explore in his photography. Russia, where absurdity, tragedy and beauty often seem to rub shoulders, is a rich source of inspiration.
