Socket

About

Tarpey Gallery presents a diverse group exhibition with works by 13 artists from visual arts collective Socket. Socket, formed in 2011, is a visual arts collective based in the East Midlands. Socket is artist led and offers mutual support to its members. It provides a forum to further individual careers, promote independent practice and forge beneficial working relationships with other artists, curators and professionals within the visual art field. The diverse practice of the group is reflected through painting, printing, installation, three-dimensional work and digital media. Members of the collective all studied BA (Hons) Fine Art at the University of Nottingham, graduating between 2007 and 2011 to establish independent practices before re-uniting to form Socket. Exhibiting Artists; Barbara Clayton, Dorothy Dexter, Iain MacLeod-Brudenell, Jane Pepper, Janet Turville, Jo Brudenell, Julia Carter, Nicola Rae, Paula McCann, Robert Allen, Sue Greenaway, Tracey Kershaw.
