Figures of Tyne
11-13 Clayton Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear, NE1 5PN
Originally (C16th) sold by peddlers known as ‘chapmen’, chapbooks are compact publications which were traditionally used for folk tales, popular literature, religious tracts and political pamphlets.
Incorporating text, observations, and beautifully rendered illustrations, each chapbook in this delightful exhibition celebrates the architectural detail and distinctiveness of individual buildings in Grainger Town area of the city. Together they reflect the architectural variety and splendour, and the density and historic significance, of the built environment of Creative Central: Ncl.
Artists: Bethan Applegarth, Ken Bee, Trish Bowles, Sue Cree, Magda Delgado, Laura Edgar, Becky Frankel, Sara Gibbeson, Richard Hall, Zoe Heslop, Ethan Horner, Niyla, Javaid, Mary Nouri, Vivy, Amba Moffat, Steve Pardue, Elaine Parker, Ivonne Robinson, Regan Robson, Meredith Spokes, Steve Williams, Gillian Wilson, Geoffrey Wong
