Really lovely to see the work of Christian Bell in the first ever online Degree Show for the BA (Hons) Fine Art Degree students of Blackburn University Centre.
As part of an ongoing project, Christian delivered the Peeper’s pop-up event at Prism Contemporary Gallery earlier this year.
Christian’s digital publication, ‘An Excavation of Memory and Imagination’ is a documentation of participation and positions itself as an artwork – exploring a site specific cultural heritage, and through collaborative and participatory processes, produced a live artwork which excavated and re-imagined a collective memory of a place in time. Interesting stuff, congratulations Christian!
Delivered in partnership with Prism Contemporary Gallery and the Townscape Heritage Project, Christian’s work also generated some useful discussion about Blackburn’s culture and leisure offer that will support delivery of the Townscape Heritage Project and help to inform our Cultural Strategy going forward.
