Sit-in: an interactive photography exhibition, open to everyone

The Viewfinder Photography Gallery invites you to take part in a unique, temporary exhibition: ‘Sit In’. This event allows photographs to be presented in a completely new way – with the photographers interacting with the gallery space, and holding their work up themselves for exhibition visitors.

Bring something (from a blanket to a bench) to sit on while you hold your print (any size, framed or unframed) for gallery visitors to see, alongside the current exhibition. The object you select to sit on will form part of the visual impact of the event, so think carefully about what you bring!

‘Sit-in’ accompanies Annett Reimer’s exhibition ‘Symbiosis’, in which she presents a series of photographs in which she interacts with furnishings: rolling herself up in a rug, arranging her legs around a sofa and wrapping her body around a pedestal.

Following this half hour ‘Sit-in’ exhibition, participants will have the opportunity to take part in a print swap and also to discuss your image with the other photographers and Viewfinder curator Louise Forrester.

Documentation of ‘Sit-in’ will be displayed on www.viewfinder.org.uk/events.html

This event is free to take part in, with a suggested donation of £3 for participants. ‘Sit-in’ is open to all ages and levels.

'Sit-in' exhibition: 3 – 3.30pm
Discussion and print swap: 3.30 – 4pm

The current exhibition ‘Symbiosis’ will be open as usual, 12-4pm
