TIME & TIDE - an exhibition for Scarborough
by Helen Birmingham

Stephen Joseph Theatre
Westborough
Scarborough

Private View: Wednesday 16th February
6.00 - 8.00pm

EXHIBITION CONTINUES to 12th March 2011

This new body of work incorporates images and poems relating to Scarborough’s unique character, suggesting both a reflection of the past and a glimpse into the future. The hard edges of past events have been softened into memory, made round by the forces of nature. Fragments of history have been captured. Today’s footprints will become tomorrow’s fossil remains.

I hope this exhibition will be seen as an affectionate portrayal of a town through the eyes of a newcomer.

Each piece is a compilation of 25 postcard sized mixed media artworks which look at key areas of the town's history and local attractions. I have included words inspired by the process of making these images and hope that they help to shed light on the artistic intention behind my work.

You won’t believe how much we’ve squeezed into one weekend! Coastival is bursting with fun, comedy, art, theatre, music, films and much more…. Take a dip into the festival programme and find bucket loads of concerts, gigs, exhibitions, performances and stuff for kids. Not forgetting the opening outdoor spectacular with light, lanterns, music and creatures from the darkest of pre-historic ages.

Winkle out some of the weird and wonderful installations, performances and digital projections on offer and reel in a free film or two. Come and stroll along the prom, prom, prom; hear the bands play tiddely-om-pom-pom…and jazz…and world music…and acoustic sets.
There’s no finer place to be for all that’s best in arts and culture in Yorkshire. Be beside yourself with glee… Beside the seaside…beside the sea!
