As part of the Norman Rea Gallery’s 22/23 programme, we are excited to introduce our second exhibition of the new academic year… ‘INhibition’

Our exhibition title applies to the moment when fear and embarrassment thwart someone's ability to feel at ease, moving them to act in unnatural ways that may constitute artwork, or relief through artwork. By selecting artwork that answers the question “How does ‘Art’ speak to you?”, our committee and members have curated this exhibition through their personal attitudes towards ‘Art’. Through this, INhibition will focus on the emotive response.

INhibition redefines what we define ‘Art’ to be, we want to emphasise that ‘Art’ encompasses a large visual plane. Rather than traditional art forms found in galleries, NRG have included alternative forms of ‘Art’. Through this, we’ll gauge more of an audience response on what ‘Art’ is, and how its contextual viewing can alter what we define as ‘Art’.

Our opening night will incorporate interactive elements and live musicians, which welcomes everyone in both our student and wider community.
