Bletchley Atrium Gallery

 

The Atrium Gallery is an established exhibition facility on the ground floor of the Bletchley campus, showing the work of former and current students, staff and invited artists from the region. There is almost 100 running feet of space for two-dimensional work, plus secure, glazed display cabinets for some small three-dimensional pieces.

A second public gallery was opened in September 2008 at the new University Centre Milton Keynes, 200 Silbury Boulevard, CMK. Its opening times are 08.00 - 21.00 and the gallery is located on the ground floor, next to the coffee shop, with additional exhibition space on the 1st floor.

Marsha Dunstan Exhibition

Marsha Dunstan Exhibition

 

"Threshold"

From Feb 1st until February 29th 2012

The threshold project is about the extraordinary range of different spaces we move through in the course of our days and years, often effortlessly and without thinking but sometimes with trepidation. It also raises questions about the nature of individual choice.

Marsha Dunstan's practice is lens-based, mostly using photography however more recently she has been creating short videos. Her work is often (but not exclusively) concerned with the feminine experience, and the tactics - physical, emotional and temporal - that individuals use to negotiate space in their everyday lives. Whether in photograph or video, she is making ambiguous narratives that draw on both staged fictions and found situations - they are inquiring and suggestive, not conclusive.

Born in Australia, London has been her home for many years and where she has worked as a newspaper journalist. The balance of her life has tilted inexorably and irreversibly in the direction of art following her first drawing class in 1998. She now lives in the East End of London where she has a studio. 

Frank Kermode: said "Fictions are for finding things out" , Marsha echoes these words in her work.
