Exhibitions

SCENE IN NORTHUMBERLAND NATIONAL PARK: Roger Clegg, Simon Fraser and Allan Potts
Friday 11 June to Sunday 29 August 2010
The Biscuit Factory, 16 Stoddart Street, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE2 1AN

‘The importance of this exhibition is in the photographers and our very individual take on what we experience and capture in our images. I hope that our collective insights into the magic of the Northumberland hill country will move people and perhaps inspire them to visit for themselves’.

STATESIDE: American Documentary from the Side Collection. Lewis Hine, Weegee, Russell Lee, James Perry Walker, Eugene Richards and others.
Saturday 24 July to Saturday 18 September 2010
Side Gallery, The Side, Newcastle NE1 3JE

Side Gallery was visited both by Russell Lee, whose American Mining Communities is held in the collection, and Weegee’s widow Wilma Wilcox, who gave Amber what is the largest representation of his work outside New York - much previously unseen at Side.

In the 1980s Side Gallery showed Eugene Richard’s powerful exploration of American poverty Below The Line. More recently the gallery showed James Perry Walker’s wonderful documentation of Black Southern Baptist communities, The Preacher and His Congregation. Stateside is drawn from these and other works.
