6. Northern Print
17th May Friday Only
Open: 7-11pm
Especially for the Late Shows, Northern Print hosts Nicole Polonsky's Lighting Up Time, a dynamic installation inspired by the silent film era (see also Saturday: Amber Side Cinema). Screenprinted banners with lines of text, or ‘intertitles’, light up when viewers direct torches at them. Each inscription is paired with a short composition by Andrew Lovett.
The gallery has also teamed up with Hartlepool Festival of Illustration and The Northern School of Art to explore the special place printmaking holds for artists and illustrators working today. In the studio you can try your hand at printmaking, talk to studio artists and find out about our classes.
