Ways of looking at the Butler Gallery
Posted May 4th, 2010 by butlerprojectThe Butler Gallery's Solas programme has been offering a programme for children between the ages of 5 - 12 to look at, talk about and respond practically to exhibitions at the Gallery including its Permanent Collection over its 10 years of existence.
A major way we are marking this is by working with Kids' Own and children who have experienced the Solas programme, to capture the learning that takes place in the Gallery and widen this out to a broader audience by developing a tool for looking at art (in particular modern and contemporary art!) in galleries and museums.

more listening
Posted April 22nd, 2010 by butlerprojectI have more video to upload from the interview, for our next meeting we will be interviewing the photographer Jackie Nickerson, We will also have a chance to review what is emerging so far. I would like to look at some other publications by other galleries, to get an idea where our book would fit in. it will also give us a chance to look at what we like and what we don't like.
if you have any other ideas or thoughts about what should be included in our book, put them here.
