‘Emerging Years’
‘Emerging Years’, the first in a series of discussion events hosted by artists invited by VAU, to engage with the public on a number of issues surrounding contemporary art. The first in the series was held in the Main Gallery at Southblock and focused on the emerging years of artists – their backgrounds, how they start out and the challenges they face in establishing their practice. We were delighted that our guest speakers were David Shrigley, Toby Paterson, Peter Chalmers and The Brownlee Brothers. Photography by .
