Meet talking rocks, find sunken trinkets and explore quarry portals at Signal Film and Media’s next exhibition, Psychogeology, opening at Barrow Market on Saturday the 4th of May. ‘Psychogeology’ is about people and geology. The exhibition shares work created from a co-authored project working with Manchester-based artist Jack Brown and our ‘Get Digital’ youth project participants, aged between 16-19 years old.
Jack has mentored the participants, shaping final works of art that incorporate themes that are important to them. He said,
“I’ve been working with a group of brilliant creative residents to find ways to explore and respond to Barrow’s geology and deep history. As the project progressed we broke into three teams each with their own focus. The ‘Hills team’ were interested in the Slag Hills in Ormsgill, the ‘Sea team’ wanted to throw cameras into the ocean and the ‘Quarry team’ wanted to make a film of them disappearing back into the Quarry or maybe into geology itself.”
