10am - 5pm at Margate Railway Station.
An exhibition curated by Clare Beattie, with the support of South Eastern Rail. It features a mix of work, including sculptures, video and photography and will be on display from Saturday August 10 – Saturday 24 August 2013. It’s a culturally inclusive exhibition featuring works by locally- based artists: Victoria Fountas, Gigi Ngan, Helen Poulteney, Angela
Stocker and Clare Beattie.
This was a unique space to exhibit and a great opportunity to show site related films in Margate. The railway station booking hall is a passing place for those visiting Margate allowing the public to view work while waiting for or meeting trains.
Consideration was given to the placement of work and its interaction with other works. I choose to use 3 TV monitors to play 3 films, shown previously under the heading experimental films. Clare, Angela, Gigi and Angela exhibited sculptures within the hall, whilst Victoria lay a path of manipulated postcards depicting an imaginary scene.
The staff at the railway station were great, helping to install work and also keeping it safe.
The comments from both BR staff and the public were very positive, and on seeing my films recounted memories of Dreamland and visits to Margate. It was really interesting to hear their stories and I was pleased that it had this intended response.
