Press release/preview: Jam - a photographic exhibition

© Kate O'Neill
My show ‘Jam’ (a photographic exhibition documenting musical performance) at 36 Lime Street Gallery this summer focuses on the ‘jazz jam’ community in Newcastle with a particular focus on The Black Swan/Newcastle Arts Centre.

For around 2 years, I have documented instrumentalists and vocalists as they sit in and perform at the Jam.

 

The Preview (Saturday 10th August: 6:00 - 8:00 pm) is my opportunity to invite and involve the players and audience. My plan on the night is to recreate a ‘micro’ - jam session by hiring a rhythm section and inviting regular jam participants to sit in and perform surrounded by images of themselves.


I'm also taking this opportunity to invite a wider audience to the Preview and feature some of the images from my up and coming show. Kate O'Neill
