THE EYE THAT NEVER SLEEPS MICHAEL LAWRENCE - NEW WATERCOLOURS AND BRONZES THURSDAY 6TH - 16th August 2009 Project Space Michael Lawrence was born in Los Angeles and has lived in London, Rome, Paris and Barcelona. He now lives and works on the island of Hydra in the Aegean Sea. During the last decades he has exhibited widely in Europe and the United States: in Los Angeles; New York; Madrid and Stockholm. His most recent exhibition, in April of this year, was in the Melina Mercouri Exhibition Hall in Hydra. Michael works in oils, watercolours and bronze. His recent exhibitions included 24 new bronze sculptures. The Eye That Never Sleeps exhibition will include both recent watercolours and bronze sculptures. The watercolours are deceptively simple as well as being lyrical and expressing an accomplished mastery of the medium. The influence of the sun-soaked and hedonistic atmosphere of his chosen home (the island of Hydra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is un-missable and compelling. Suffused with energy and optimism, these works open a door into a world far from the drabness and ennui of everyday reality. The gallery will host the launch Michael�s autobiography, My Voyage in Art, a fascinating account of his life and times. Admission free. Gallery tours available by appointment. Golden Thread Gallery 84 � 94 Great Patrick Street, Belfast, BT 12 LU, Northern Ireland.

The exhibition addresses contested spaces, focusing on the environment, political and economic conflicts and the human body. Curated by Kathy Rae Huffman, it will display an exciting range of innovative and challenging work at the interface of art, science, communication and technology. The symposium aims to unite the two disciplines of art and science and the exhibition, across three venues; Ormeau Baths, Golden Thread and Foyer Gallery, questions our perception of what is art and what is technology. Is an online, virtual reality game art? If a second life experience is created by an artist is the result art or science? Come along and decide for yourself. All of the exhibitions are free, inter-active and many of the pieces can be enjoyed by all age groups. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Editors Ormeau Baths Gallery, Golden Thread Gallery and Foyer Gallery (University of Ulster) are co-realising one extended exhibition.
