The Collecting Place – from visitors' comments
‘Brilliant idea. Great exhibition. Wonderful for the children involved’
‘What a wonderful way to involve children in something they so often miss out on ‘
‘Fabulous. I loved it!’
‘Really good exhibition. Very interesting photographs’
‘This was a really wonderful idea, to involve children in the early days of photography … impressed by the results of the exhibition’
Congratulations to everyone involved in the Collecting Place. The exhibition is fantastic and offers a genuinely fresh view of some of the places the Brontës knew. I’ve learnt a huge amount about photography and it was wonderful to work on such an unusual project. Visitors are enjoying the exhibition and it’s good that so many people will get to find out about the project through visiting the museum and taking away the catalogue – hope you all liked the catalogue. - Andrew
About Me
- Simon Warner
- Photographer/filmmaker and independent researcher. Much of my work has involved river landscapes, including the 3-screen projection A Guide to Yorkshire Rivers, originally made for Cartwright Hall Art Gallery. Recent exhibitions include Walking Out at Huddersfield Art Gallery 2009 (an exploration of the figure in the landscape), Transported at PSL [Project Space Leeds] 2009 where I was artist in residence on the 36 bus, and 21 (group show) at Harewood House 2010. In 2006 I received a NESTA Fellowship to pursue interests in early photography and visual culture, and this has led to a number of presentations about pioneering artistic figures and processes. Live appearances include Lavater – The Shadow of History (part of the ACE touring exhibition Alchemy), A Theory of Colours (about Goethe) and Isolating V5 (a history of the Zoetrope). In 2010 I also led silhouette portrait events at two V&A Friday Lates. www.simonwarner.co.uk
