During August and September, 'Beenderman & Gytrash' exhibition will be displayed in the gallery, and a selection of Dale's previous work will be hung all around South Square Centre.
On Friday 12th September, join the artist Dale Holmes, and the Programme and Gallery Manager Domino Parton-Oakley in this exploration of Dale's work. We'll be discussing his research, his ways of working, his inspirations and his career.
This is a free event - donations welcome - and there will be a bar onsite.
Accessibility:
Please note, we will be waling around the centre as Dale's work will be featured in the courtyard and garden also. There will be seating available in each location, but access to the garden is via stairs, or via Priestley Street which has an uneven surface.
More about the exhibition:
In West Riding folklore, Gytrash is a spectral dog that haunts liminal spaces; roadswhere town becomes moor, ginnels between streets, thresholds of woods. Gytrashappears in Charlotte Brontë's novel Jane Eyre and was a lifelong, unwantedcompanion to her troubled brother Branwell.
Beenderman is said to stalk the hills and drystone walls of the moor betweenThornton and Haworth. Skeletal and ancient, he is always looking to take thehapless and the unprepared.
From 1 August, South Square will be home to these two unlikely friends.Spilling out from our Main Gallery into our outside spaces, this exciting exhibitiongives us a glimpse into the encounters of these folklore characters as they navigatethe modern world - and maybe become the next Asterix and Obelisk, Tintin andSnowy, or even Turner and Hooch…
Location and access:
The centre can be accessed easily via public transport. There is free on street parking around the centre. There is an on-site vegetarian café, Plenty, where refreshments and lunch can be purchased.
