An international exchange of Art. Organised by Nathan Chenery & Stefan Philipps it will feature six Artists from in & around York and eight Artists from the German City of Trier. With exhibitions happening in both cities the project hopes to open an exchange of idea’s and create an on going relationship between the two art scenes.

The Exhibition Is Ready
So, after a long day Monday we collaboratively put the exhibition up. It was an interesting process to work alongside Stefan and Sebastian, I certainly learnt a lot as our approaches to curating where different in a lot of small ways. In general we went with the Trier style of hanging exhibitions and hopefully this has given the show a very different feel to that which I would usually put up. At the end of the day, developing ideas and learning new approaches was the goal of the exchange.
As I said before the differences are all very subtle, things like heights of work, gaps between and manner of delivering information, things like numbering the works and having a separate information list. It will be interested to see how this is received as I think we're all very used to seeing labels in York. As well as myself learning a lot there was also my intern for the project Sean Brattan and Georgia Dearden both student on the Fine Art Course at York St John University. So I would like to thanks them for all their help.
Last of all a big thanks goes out to all who supported the project through the Sponsume link. It was a great success and means we could really deliver a quality exhibition to match the one the York Artists received in Trier in January.
I will leave this post there and with a little preview pic, hope to see everyone down this Thursday 19th July between 6-9pm.
All the best,
Nathan
