The Gas Board

Gasworks Gallery's Billboard Project:

Have Your Portrait Taken by Photographer Eileen Perrier

Gasworks Gallery in Vauxhall Street SE11 is looking for local residents to take part in a new project - having their portrait taken by up and coming local artist/photographer, Eileen Perrier.

The Gallery is currently closed for refurbishment and will re-open again in summer 2004.  When we re-open we will have a street level display area called The Gas Board which will be used to exhibit four artists' projects a year.

Eileen Perrier is the first artist to be selected for The Gas Board.  We would like to invite local residents into the building during the refurbishment to have their portraits taken.  The resulting images will be printed by Eileen and displayed as a series of changing posters on The Gas Board throughout the summer months.

Participants will be presented with their portrait at the end of the project as a thank you for taking part!

If you are interested and free on either of the following days [see below] to come down to Gasworks please give Fiona or Matthew a call on 020 7582 6848 to book a place.

The photo sessions will take place on Sat/Sun 3rd and 4th April 2004.

Everyone is welcome to participate and Eileen is happy to take group portraits of family or friends.  Pets are also welcome.  Each session will last approximately 15 mins for individuals and 30 mins for groups, and refreshments will be served.

This project has been support for Arts Council England - Grants for the Arts, Metro Imaging and Space Studios.

For images or further information about this project and the exhibition and events programme for 2004 please contact Fiona Boundy or Matthew Poole on 020 7582 6848 or email: press@gasbag.org

Gasworks Gallery Offices will be open Monday - Friday 9.30 - 6pm during the refurbishment
