Martin Nangle: Salisbury Exhibition. The Citizens Wallpaper and The Search for the Golden Lion.



Of all the Gallery joints in all the towns in all the World, that Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia had to walk into the pizza place next door to my exhibition spot at Gallery 4 Salisbury library on till April 30th 2018.
Come and enjoy my exhibition if you are about. 
We don't serve Novichok -just old fashioned English beer. 
So here's looking at a good show.



Martin Nangle brings an exciting original exhibition to Salisbury Library's Gallery 4 for March and April 2018.

The Citizens Wallpaper and The Search for the Golden Lion brings together photojournalism from 1990s Transylvania and 2018 Myanmar/Burma, with excerpts from the Citizens Wallpaper project. What unites this contrasting material is a focus on ordinary people and their lives. The whole exhibition demonstrates how photojournalism can assist local communities in creating their own artistic visual representations.
