Closed Sundays

After Sanges‟s well received piece at the New York Academy of Arts‟s “Take Home a Nude ” curated by Eileen Guggenheim and the successful exhibition “Big Scenes” at the prestigious Hackney Empire -sponsored by the Art Council and opened by controversial artist Gavin Turk- Marco is now  bringing “Big Scenes” at the Hay Hill Gallery

Says artist Gavin Turk, “Marco Sanges’ art is like going to a theatre through different doors, characters in photos come to life in various forms of tableaux vivant”.

Big Scenes combines photography, video and performance, bringing together larger than life characters and stories to play out a world of fantasy, grandeur and drama. Big Scenes is a dreamlike, decadent world reminiscent of Surrealism and the visual and performing arts of the glamorous golden age of the 1920s and 30s. Sanges’ double award-winning short film Circumstances (Best Art Film – Portobello Film Festival, London 2008 and Best Experimental Art Video, Open Cinema, St Petersburg, Russia, 2009) will be screened in the lower ground floor gallery. A series of photographs from the accompanying book Circumstances will be shown alongside the film for the very first time.
