gabrielle naptali – resolutions

some photos of the current exhibition in our tiny gallery.

gaby hanging the main piece of the show which is a 1m x 1m ceramic work. ‘resolutions’ is only up for a few more weeks so do call in for a look soon (we’re usually open 9.30-5.00 monday to friday. if you’d like to visit at another time just get in touch.)

porcelain by post

invitation to the opening of ‘resolutions’ by gabrielle naptali which is showing in our tiny gallery until 24th november.

we liked the idea of posting a little piece of potential artwork out as part of the invitation and so these invites were handmade by gaby and ourselves – the card folds to seal in and protect the fragment although we did hear that one piece had escaped in transit. it is probably now crossing britain in the corner of post bag. the porcelain is layered black and white – the same material that the two main pieces in the exhibition are made from and their random broken shape (each is unique) reflects the element of chance that is part of gaby’s current work in ceramics.

get yer tickets

the coastival website has had a make-over for 2011 and tickets are on sale there now. if you haven’t been near scarborough and able to pick up a coastival arty postcard, images and words from them are included on the website front page (or send us a nice email if you’d like one posting to you – we like posting). you can also order the free brochure-poster from the website featuring the gorgeous gladys.

the site is again a collaboration with gordon at sneakytrick who has plugged together the joomla content management system including the online ticketing system.

saucy

the coastival 2011 brochure design – it folds out from a postcard size leaflet to a large poster. we had fun playing with the seaside cliches and puns (and acknowledge our debt to saucy seaside postcard artist donald mcgill for the inspiration).

the toe-dipping skinny man illustration is by house of deadleg, the plump lady we drew in-house. look out for a few more seaside cheeky chaps and gorgeous gals when the coastival essential guide comes out in november-december which will feature complete listings for the weekend.

swimsuit shoot

the launch of the coastival poster/brochure on the south bay beach. there had been notice it would be a swimsuit model for this photo opportunity, and rumours abounded of who might be brave enough to pose as our poster buxom beauty (who has been christened ‘gladys’ by the coastival team). but not many people had counted on a male model… a very game andrew clay, director of woodend creative workspace. pick up a brochure to see his comic counterpart.

above: evening news photographer andrew higgins (see his daily photo journal here) sorting various musicians, artists, dj’s and more.

above: andrew clay in character with coastival director, wendy clews. joining in on the snapping is tony bartholomew who is also photoblogging as coastival365. contact tony if you’d like photos of the launch or just of andrew in a bathing suit. we won’t ask why.
