Projects
- Capturing Movement Do you enjoy dance, but have no rhythm? We have the perfect solution. The Capturing Movement exhibition explores how artists have transformed contemporary dance into inspiring representations in sculpture, painting and photography. It features a group of carefully selected works that have taken the ephemeral qualities of dance and produced a work of art. Capturing Movement is curated by the MA Curating students and will be held in the Studio 3 Gallery, University of Kent from September 21st to December 12th. Image: Belinda Whiting
