IAN BEESLEY: WORK

Ian Beesley: Work is now on in Gallery 2. Open Mon – Fri 10-5:30; Sat & Sun 10-6pm, admission free.

This exhibition presents work from the last 4 decades by Beesley, one of Europe's finest social documentary photographers. Large-scale prints include images taken at Salts Mill in the 80s as it slowly shut down, and some from 2017 when he returned to see the building thriving once more. An extraordinary Wall of Workers shows portraits of men and women employed in trades which no longer exist. The gallery also houses The Big Big Camera – a century-old industrial relic revived by Beesley - and the work he has created with it. Throughout the show are poems written by Ian McMillan, Beesley’s friend and frequent collaborator.
