Northern Light - Website Gallery

A website designed, curated and produced by Andrew Robinson to accompany the exhibition of the same name held at the Sheffield Institute of Arts (SIA) gallery, 153 Arundel Street, Sheffield, S1 2NU, England, from July 4 – July 31 2016. The Northern Light exhibition was curated by Michèle Lazenby to accompany a two day academic conference 'Northern Light: Landscape Photography and Evocations of the North' held at Sheffield Hallam University, July 4-5, 2016 which was hosted by Dr Chris Goldie and Darcy White. The aim of both was to initiate an exploration of the ways in which photographic images have addressed notions of a Northern landscape. Scholars and artists engaged in a wide range of approaches were brought together, some working within established traditions of art and photography, others concerned with contemporary photographic practices. Both conference and exhibition mark a recognition of shared themes and interests related to landscape, the north and it's representation across the varied research practices of academics working on the MArt and BA(Hons) Photography courses at Sheffield Hallam University. These events mark the creation of the ‘Northern Light Photography Research Group’ whose aim is to provide opportunities for SHU academics to further their research practice through collaborative projects with other academics, practitioners and organisations in an ongoing exploration of the Northern Landscape.
