“Birmingham Gateway” have your say.

When you say “Birmingham Gateway” to me I have a vision of looming gates halfway between something from King Kong and the Swords of Qādisīyah, also called the Hands of Victory which stand in Baghdad. The truth, as always, is far less dramatic than the stuff that goes on in my head. Following on neatly from the awesome find by Karen’s Mum at a car boot sale the council are asking for people to have their say on the proposal for the new “gateway” where New Street Station currently sits. The online questionnaire is available 12th – 23rd October 2009 by clicking ‘have your say’ on http://www.newstreetnewstart.co.uk. The exhibition will be available on the station concourse at the following times: Thursday 15th October – 10am-7pm Friday 16th October – 10am-7pm Saturday 17th October – 10am-1.30pm Make sure that you take this chance to let the people who’re running the project hear what you think.

Digbeth in “all six senses”

Is the promise from Friction Arts, about their new exhibition. No words on whether the “smell” of Digbeth is worth exhibiting, or whether Bruce Willis is dead at the end. Does sound good tho’: Echoes from the Edge is an interactive exhibition that feature the voices of Digbeth and Highgate, looking at its residents and that reason why people have settled and stayed in the local community.  It features a replica bomb peck and Digbeth pub, objects that are familiar to long-term residents. The exhibition is running from 23rd April to the 30th May 2009, in collaboration with US company Touchable Stories. Booking in advance is essential and places are limited to 12 spaces for each tour of the installation. You can book  individual or group places in a number of ways these include via the website bookings at www.frictionarts.com/bookings, email us at  info@frictionarts.com or call us on 0121 772 6160

Photospace Flash Swap

Photospace Flash Swap

This is good, but complicated. So take a look at the flyer and read this (copied from editorialgirl): What? Where? When? Photographers of all abilities are invited to bring their work along to exhibit at a spontaneous, free event at the Custard Factory on Saturday 21 March. But there’s a twist. Everything exhibited can be offered as a swap. Whether your photo has been created lovingly in the darkroom, digitally manipulated or just snapped on the run, everyone who brings a print will have the opportunity to swap their work for that of another photographer. It’s a great chance to show your work off to an appreciative audience, as publicly or anonymously as you like – and to pick up some unique, locally produced art for yourself. How Does It Work? Simple. For every print you bring to give away, you will be able to take another from the exhibition in return. To take part, bring your images to the Vaad Gallery in the Custard Factory (next to the Medicine Bar), between 11am and 4pm on Saturday 21 March. Your prints will be exhibited in the Gallery for the whole of Saturday, when you’ll get the chance to meet...
