Photography Exhibition by Pete Karkut
24th November - 24th December, Weir View Room and Tearoom

We're delighted that photographer, Pete Karkut, is exhibiting his beautiful photographs at the Heritage Centre in the run-up to Christmas. The exhibition focuses on the landscape around the canal and river which Pete has captured on his visits to the Heritage Centre. 

There's also the opportunity to speak to Pete about his work at a 'Meet the Artist' event on Monday 4th December at the Heritage Centre from 11.30am - 1.30pm.

Here's a bit more about Pete in his own words:

"My name is Pete Karkut, I have worked at Camberwell, Wimbledon and Chelsea colleges of Art with computer video and still images. In the mid-nineties I was commissioned to create a 10 minute computer animation for BBC2. I was medically retired from Chelsea in 2015 due to Multiple Sclerosis. Upon returning to Nottingham I launched myself into photographing the canal and surrounding areas in Beeston. This has led to the current scheduled exhibition at the Canalside Heritage Centre. After this exhibition I will continue creating photographs, videos and soundscapes rooted in and around Nottingham. I am planning future exhibitions using the landscapes that inspire me in Nottinghamshire as my photographic subject. I feel my photos represent a novel view of the canal side, parks and cityscapes of Nottingham as well as showing how a severely disabled artist can function in this city. They also show how Nottingham has supported me in my work as a disabled artist."
