Angel Row Gallery, NottinghamAngel Row Gallery presents a challenging and wide-ranging programme of contemporary visual art, with exhibitions, events and activities in an environment that is lively, welcoming and accessible. The Gallery is committed to developing new audiences, and to providing opportunities for participation and debate around the understanding of contemporary art. Since opening in 1991 it has established a national reputation for its programme, recently exhibiting artists Sian Bowen and Sutapa Biswas, amongst others. ‘Self’ ‘Self’ is a touring exhibition that explores complex physical, cultural and personal identities through the work of a wide group of artists, who investigate ‘belonging’, our sense of who we are through our relationships with others. Through photography, jewellery and installation, the artists challenge stereotypes, respond to their own experience of the status quo, and draw attention to the value of difference and diversity. ‘Self’ runs from Wed.
17 November until Sat. 8 January 2005. www.angelrowgallery.com

The brief The Gallery was seeking an artist whose work would relate and respond to the exhibition ‘Self’. The artist was offered a studio space situated within the gallery itself, for the duration of the exhibition. Whilst this put restrictions on the artist’s practice (no noise, fumes or dust), it did mean that similar themes, of sense of self, of cultural or physical difference, could be fully explored within the context of ‘Self’. The exhibition was seen as a key resource for the development of the artist’s work. The artist was expected to give at least one presentation to an invited audience about their work. Opportunities would also arise for the artist to hold open studio sessions, or assist with workshops, as part of the on-going education programme. To see Mike's work: mike macgabhann
