Into The Open Exhibition
The "Into the Open" Exhibition was an exhibition of art by black artists displayed at various venues in the United Kingdom in 1984.
This exhibition was the first major survey by a municipal gallery of contemporary work by black artists in Britain. It was curated, at the invitation of Sheffield City Arts Department, by two people closely involved with black artists in Britain: Lubiana Himid and Pogus Caesar. Their stated aim was to give an indication of the range and richness of art made by contemporary Afro Caribbean artists.
The exhibition toured in the United Kingdom in 1984, appearing at three venues: the Mappin Art Gallery in Sheffield, the Castle Museum in Nottingham, and the Newcastle Media Workshops in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It was organized by the Sheffield Arts Department and was subsidised by the Arts Council of Great Britain.

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or exhibition:
“Wild Bill was indulging in his favorite pastime of a friendly game of cards in the old No. 10 saloon. For the second time in his career, he was sitting with his back to an open door. Jack McCall walked in, shot him through the back of the head, and rushed from the place, only to be captured shortly afterward. Wild Bill’s dead hand held aces and eights, and from that time on this has been known in the West as “the dead man’s hand.””
—State of South Dakota, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Work, as we usually think of it, is energy expended for a further end in view; play is energy expended for its own sake, as with children’s play, or as manifestation of the end or goal of work, as in “playing” chess or the piano. Play in this sense, then, is the fulfillment of work, the exhibition of what the work has been done for.”
—Northrop Frye (1912–1991)
