Welcome

World renowned local artist Julie Freeman is to launch an exhibition at Bedford College's South Bank Arts Centre that will see visiting artists bringing art to art students and local people.
 
The exhibition begins on 8 January 2010 with a private view of Julie Freeman's work,. It will be open to the public from 11-22 January. Two exhibitions follow hot on the heels of Julie's work and run until 12 March (see below).
 
Julie began life in Dunstable where she attended Dunstable College for 2 years studying Graphic Design. She gained a BSc at Plymouth University and ran a media design company “Studio Fish” in London where she worked with the Hayward Gallery, the BBC and the Science Museum.
 
The exhibition “In Particular” features 16 graphic artworks and 16 texts that draw inspiration from nanotechnology. Julie collaborated with Professor Jeremy Ramsden to understand the science behind the stories.

 
Talking about “In Particular” to be exhibited at the South Bank Arts Centre, Julie says:
 
“I've always been seduced by technology - how it can be used to interact and communicate with the natural world, enabling appreciation of the obscured or concealed, and how it can exhibit truth or lies with equal gravitas, sometimes purposefully misinterpreting reality. I am interested in the translation of hidden biological systems through abstraction or metaphor, as graphic, sound, animation or object. My work is rarely predictable, I often feel I construct open frameworks which allow the free flow of content into them.”
