The West Gallery Sat 5 – Sat 26 May Riverfest / Drop-in: Sat 19 May 10am – 3pm FREE

We begin our Standpoint season by examining man’s fascination with piers & bridges through their architectural and environmental qualities but also to explore these ideas in a more metaphorical way.

Piers thrust out into the sea but go nowhere; they allow us to look back but we have to return to where we started.

Bridges connect and allow the freeflow of movement, thoughts and activity.

A large-scale pier and bridge installation in The West Gallery encourages us to examine these man-made structures that connect the coast and the sea.
