The Shallow Gallery opens at centre:mk, supporting new and emerging artists to showcase their work in a public space.
The Shallow Gallery is a new exhibition space at centre:mk; a dynamic public art platform in the heart of Milton Keynes, dedicated to showcasing contemporary art, activating a unique urban space and supporting the city's creative community. Discover the gallery to the left of the Field Walk entrance of centre:mk (Door 13), next to Next. The exhibition is completely free and open to the public 24/7.
Currently exhibiting is An Extension of the Paranormal, a striking exhibition by Milton Keynes-based artist Joss Whittle which can be seen until 15th February. Using recycled cardboard, she reimagines classic and forgotten artworks, transforming them into contemporary visual poetry that brings the past into the present. Presented by Arts Central Studios and curated by Rookie Services, Shallow Gallery is a public art platform celebrating contemporary artists and Milton Keynes’ creative community.
Joss Whittle’s exhibition is the first in a series of different artists that will occupy the space. New artists will be showcased back-to-back with details of their exhibitions found on the centre:mk website, centremk.com
Kevin Duffy, Centre Director said, “We are delighted to be able to host a new gallery space at centre:mk, to give local artists the opportunity to showcase their work in such a central location in
the city. We work with the artistic community across a number of projects already, from our ongoing sponsorship of MK International Festival to the busking programme running at the centre. The Shallow Gallery is yet another space that gives everybody the opportunity to enjoy art outside of a traditional gallery, making it accessible for everyone, showing how Milton Keynes is an interesting and vibrant place to visit.”
