'Barriers South' used photography, projection, installation and sound, in 5 venues along the south coast - Eastbourne Redoubt, Newhaven Fort, the Crypt Gallery, Seaford, Spitbank Fort & Hurst Castle. Each venue has been used in times of conflict, as a place of fortification. The exhibitions focused on how its presence and activity had affected the landscape, people and surrounding areas.

The exhibitions explored these alternative 'art gallery' spaces and what was relevant to that particular location - resulting in 5 different exhibitions, with a common theme.

Dan & Gail showed, using still and animated images, the historical and cultural significance of these venues, in contemporary ways, as well as how they link together and were part of the southern defences of Britain.

The series was an ongoing exploration of how our activities inform the visual landscapes around us. All images from the exhibition, website and blog are for sale as framed and unframed prints, canvasses or as a ‘film’ in ditigal frames. See contacts page for where to call.

The exhibitions will be extended in 2010 to include Scapa Flow, Fort Perch, Humberside and Fort Paull, Merseyside, becoming 'Barriers UK'. 

Barriers UK will start at the Round Tower, Old Portsmouth, with a series of mixed-media installations for 'Light Nights' at the end of March.
