Telling Stories: Margate

About

Alexander Brattell Dawn Cole Sinéid Codd Martin Everett Cathryn Kemp Louise Kenward Lucinda Wells We all tell stories, whether we want to or not. Conversely, we all have a story to tell which is woven into our subconscious mind, our version of our past and our expectations of our future. What then happens when we allow this space to grow and develop? When we suggest rather than inform, propose rather than deal in certainty? And how then do we separate the artist from the artwork, the narrative from its narration? The seven artists of Telling Stories: Margate bring together nascent explorations into these ideas; probing this place where fact meets fiction, where stories become lies, where the told becomes the suggested and untold. Their resulting visual dialogue speaks as much of the silence between image, artist and viewer as of the noise of interpretation. We hope they find answers to the questions they pose — but the response itself will always be enough.
