Local Photographers have an Eye For Colour

From Saturday November 1st until November 30th, members of the Bristol discussion group on photo sharing website Flickr (www.flickr.com/groups/Bristol) will be exhibiting at Explore-At-Bristol’s new art space ‘Light Box’ in Café-At-Bristol following the theme of one of Explore’s current exhibitions, Eye For Colour.

The Flickr network is one of the world’s biggest online photo sharing applications. Bristol have their own ‘discussion’ group within the network and the members are naming their exhibition "Flickl" - an affectionate local in-joke based on the Bristolian dialect. The photos that will be on display have been carefully chosen as many depict a mixture of the essence of Bristol, as well as being about colour.

The Café is open all day, every day and the photographs are for sale with a percentage going towards raising funds for Explore-At-Bristol’s educational work.

27 September - 31 October

Explore-At-Bristol has its own exciting new exhibition space for art work in Café-At-Bristol, the recently revamped café adjoining Explore. Called ‘Light Box’, the new space is launching by showcasing one of the world’s leading Pinhole photographers, Justin Quinnell.

Bristol artist Justin, is holding his first exhibition of his Bristol work at Explore in September. ‘Slow Light - a 6 month solar journey over Bristol’ will hang in the windows of Café-At-Bristol facing both into Millennium Square and into the Café for everyone to see. His work has taken over six months to create having placed pinhole cameras in various locations around the city to follow the sun trailing across the sky from the winter solstice (22 December 2007) to the summer solstice (20 June 2008).
