With almost as much fanfare as it opened with; UNSENSORED10 drew to a close on Wednesday night. The de-hanging ceremony involved a few quiet drinks whilst the punters chatted and searched for a suitably sized piece of bubble wrap. An afterparty drinks were held at Lambs Go Bar.
This years show was an even bigger success than the three that proceeded it, as the exhibition goes from strength to strength. Opening night was massive! With an estimated 350+ people scrolling through the Collingwood Gallery. Rhys Allen was awarded “The Hangers Prize” for UNSENSORED10 with his image and awesome prize are depicted below (sorry bout the digi photos!).
If you couldn’t make opening night, but wondered what is was like – this video from Matthew Joesph is as close as you will get to the real thing:
The exhibition finished with a total of twenty sales; with Roberts Birze individually responsible for ten of them. You can check out his image in the previous blog post.
Thank-you to all of the exhibitors, sitters, hangers, booze purchasers/distributors, helpers, designers, prize makers, musicians, everyone who visited/commented/purchased, collingwood gallery and of last but not least the committee. We very much look forward to doing it all again next year!
Congratulations to all involved, it was a wonderful exhibition. Big thanks to everyone who helped organise and a special thanks to the committee for all their hard work.
Cheers guys
