UPDATE OF NEWS from MAP

We are appealing for local artists of all ages to help create a magical seasonal exhibition in the heart of the resort.  “Winter Wonderland” is the title of the exhibition and MAP is asking local people to create individual snowflakes in shades of white, pale blue and silver - from recycled materials - to be hung in the MAP gallery space between Subway and Starbucks. the Light Cinema will also play host to some of the snowflakes in their windows.

“Last year we asked residents to create sea creatures for our launch ‘Fish and Ships’ exhibition last December and they responded with enthusiasm, inventiveness, wit and artistic flair,” said MAP Chair Liz Byrne. “We are hoping that they will be equally inspired by the theme for this year’s Christmas exhibition.”

Contributors should bring their snowflakes to the drop box which will be located in the foyer of The Light Cinema, anytime between this Wednesday afternoon and the 8th of December. Each snowflake should be packaged to prevent damge during collection and should have a parcel tag or gift tag with your name attached. If it is particularly fragile or valuable, please email as to arrange a more secure drop off time and location.


Local schools will be asked to contribute a wrapped box as a gift for New Brighton - a gift of joy, peace, happiness or whatever they feel New Brighton needs for the future.

The launch of the exhibition will coincide with a celebration at The Light Cinema with carols and local musicians on Thursday, 12th December in the early evening, times and details to be confirmed.The display will run until the middle of January.

Artists will be able to collect their exhibits from the MAP unit on (Sunday 12th January 2014) between noon and 2pm.

“love the black pearl”

The Momentary Art Project community interest company in conjunction with The Black Pearl team called for photographic images of our new Wirral icon, The Black Pearl, a driftwood boat that has captured the imagination of old and young on the beach between Egremont and New Brighton.

Anyone with an image of The Black Pearl was asked to submit for the Momentary Art Project exhibition “love the black pearl”. The ecclectic display is viewable from the 14th November in the window of the MAP Gallery, Unit 13, Marine Point (between Subway and Starbucks) in the Neptune development in New Brighton. We have arranged some times when we will open the unit this week

MAP exhibition open tomorrow Wednesday the 20th of November from 11.45-12.45  and 1-3 Saturday the 23rd of November.

 

Frank Lund of The Black Pearl said of the driftwood boat and the exhibition

 “When we started building the Black Pearl on a cold January weekend, she was the just the latest piece in the ongoing art project on the beach by Dalmorton Road slipway. We never expected the Pearl to last so long nor to become so loved within our community - and beyond. Over the months since that January day the Pearl has become an iconic image of New Brighton.

We often say that the Black Pearl is probably one of the most photographed subjects in the town and there is no doubt that the quality of these images and the frequency of their publication have contributed much to the fame and notoriety of the driftwood pirate ship.

Over the months, over the seasons, event by event, we have seen literally hundreds of wonderful Black Pearl images created by Wirral and Merseyside photographers and artists. But as image follows image the memory fades and it will be most rewarding to see so many of these moments in time gathered together, but briefly, in this exhibition. We, the many participants of the Black Pearl team, are certainly looking forward to this event.”

Love the black pearl viewable from outside as long as there is sunshine

love the black pearl

"love the black pearl' is mid way through being assembled and we will launch it tomorrow night at the unit at 5.30pm, bring a strong torch as the unit is un-lit and we can explore the exhibits by torchlight...a novel solution to our situation but also useful as we hope to head to The Black Pearl itself  on the beach between New Brighton and Egremont. It seems only fitting to go and see her in all her glory by the light of many electric torches.

So please join us at Unit 13 between Subway and Starbucks at 5.30pm tomorrow, the 13th of November and then walk together (or drive and walk) to visit the old girl on the beach. Dress warm and be safe.

Love the black pearl deadline extended...

The hand-in was a little disappointing for the exhibition "love the black pearl" probably due to the dreadful weather on Saturday) so we have decided to extend the deadline. Would you mind letting everyone know that they can drop their submissions (a4 to a3 size) in to our unit between Subway and Starbucks at Marine Point development in New Brighton between 9.30 and 11.30 am this Wednesday and Thursday. Entry is £1 and the submissions need to be accompanied by an entry form...which is downloadable from our blog entry of last week
