Only 2 visitors allowed in at one time, social distancing and mask wearing mandatory. Visit the exhibition online at: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=ZfmUyaaoV96 Personal Contacts is a series of exhibitions at Durden and Ray which feature 4 members of the curatorial artists collective inviting 4 artists to join them. Each member will invite one artist each to participate for whatever reasons: shared aims, joint interests or hopes to provide support and a platform. We believe that now is the best time to approach the running of our gallery in a more community focused way in support of our peers and the struggles they are attending to, to see and hear others. Every 2 weeks, 4 different members will invite their selections to join in. A physical exhibition will be installed in the gallery space which can be visited on a Saturday or by appointment, with masks necessary and social distancing in force. A series of live stream interviews will explore those selections and discuss the work, themes and ideas of the invited artists. These shows will be presented online utilizing the latest innovative 3D technology to realize a more realistic exhibition walk-thru experience for those who do not wish to visit the space. Go online to visit the show, or make an appointment to visit, then link in to hear a live-streamed interview or discussion with the artists!
