NEW DIRECTOR AT FPG
Focal
Point Gallery would like to introduce our new
Director, Andrew Hunt, who starts at the end of
July 2008. Andrew has been working as Curator
at International Project Space, Birmingham , since
early 2006, and prior to that as Assistant Curator
at the Norwich Gallery. He contributes regularly
to the contemporary photography press.
Andrew
Hunt says: I'm very excited about the prospect
of working for Focal Point Gallery . The organisation
has huge potential to develop in the region, and
by engaging with new developments in contemporary
art practice in an exciting way, we plan to build
a vibrant programme of exhibitions, projects and
events that will take the Gallery forward with
an international profile. Through this, we hope
to provide the local community and national audiences
as a whole, with a challenging and fresh perspective
on contemporary art within the unique context
of Southend.
