Description/Abstract:

Ship to Shore: Art and the Lure of the Sea focused on the different ways that contemporary artists have engaged with seas and oceans. The exhibition included films, photography and prints alongside archival objects evoking the disorientating vastness of oceans, images of lighthouses, the romance of sea travel and ship-to-shore communications.Ship to Shore: Art and the Lure of the Sea offers the visitor a rich visual and audio experience, where the voices of the past are linked with the present, enigmatically joined by the theme of the sea.

Works by contemporary artists such as Tracey Emin, Tacita Dean, Yinka Shonibare, Susan Hiller, Steffi Klenz (Reader in School of Film and Media, UCA), Simon Patterson, Dorothy Cross, Mark Power, Humphrey Ocean, Richard Long, Langlands & Bell, Claire Kerr and Zineb Sedira were exhibited alongside historic paintings, such as La Vague by Gustav Courbet and artefacts including Donald Crowhurst’s ‘Navicator’ from the National Maritime Museum.

Artists exhibiting at the John Hansard Gallery include Isaac Julien, Chris Burden, Catherine Yass and Thomas Joshua Cooper.
