Location

 

The NewBridge Project is an artist-led space that supports artists, curators and communities through the provision of space for creative practice, curatorial opportunities and an ambitious artist-led programme of exhibitions, commissions, artist development and events.

The exhibition will take place in the bookshop, offers a selection of diverse, original and hard-to-find national and international contemporary art publications, zines, magazines and gifts. The shop and social space is unique to the North East of England providing a platform for independent publishers and artists who self-publish.

 

Concept:

In view of the war, the annual curatorial concept of Eye/View acquired a highly-topical dimension: observing and being observed became situations that now affect everyone to an extraordinary degree. We made this threat more visible in the second part of the cycle. The video works by Sergey Bratkov, Copa & Sordes, Marina Dykukha, Olia Fedorova, Maksym Khodak, Mykola Ridnyi have proven to be a prediction of war and testify to a life in fear and danger. The gaze regimes that are revealed in the videos revolve around: following, monitoring, focusing, remembering and the unexpected breaking out of the blue. Here history plays an important role.
