The Parfitt Gallery is pleased to present Call me Ishmael: an exhibition inspired by Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, the first ‘Great American Novel’ published in 1851. This major group show consists of a number of responses to Melville’s epic novel and to the book’s most famous adaptation, John Huston’s Moby Dick (1956). Stephen Grimes was Assistant Art Director for the classic film and a collection of his working storyboards form the foundation for this exhibition, together with unique photographs taken on set. His storyboards map out a vision that brings the literary masterpiece to life for the big screen, creating a visual experience from the written word. Also exhibiting work in this exhibition are: Guy Ben-Ner, Angela Cockayne, Philip Hoare, Clara Drummond, Steph Goodger, Oona Grimes, Tony Grisoni, Mark Hampson, Linder, Jonny Hannah, Vanessa Hodgkinson, Serena Korda, Flora Parrott, Steven Scott and Louie Psihoyos.
