THE CARAVAN GALLERY

Posted: 2nd December 2013

The Caravan Gallery - by Jan Williams & Chris Teasdale

"We are an artist partnership interested in recording the reality and surreality of everyday life. We specialise in photographic essays which explore sense of place from a psychogeographic perspective. We exhibit in our mobile gallery, in national and international galleries, empty shops and meanwhile spaces. We work with students of all ages, community groups and professional organisations in the UK and abroad. We have devised the Pride of Place Project to co-create  thought provoking exhibitions with local communities."

This odd, rickety caravan and it's authentic caravanning stool and potted conifers has a quiet but alluding presence.

It looks quite small - and I haven't seen any pics of the inside yet. But the shape and look of the space draws you in.

Obviously, not accessible to all,and you would need a B & E class driving licence to tow your gallery around it might come with some issues.

I do like though the idea of a moveable space that can engage people - create ownership within the place it is visiting and is self-contained enough to just leave at the end.

I was asked to plan and curate an art gallery stall at a local teenage market in July 2012.
