Focal Point Gallery is South Essex’s gallery for contemporary visual art, promoting and commissioning major solo exhibitions, group and thematic shows, a programme of events including performances, film screenings and talks, as well as offsite projects and temporary public artworks. The organisation currently produces up to seven gallery exhibitions each year with an accent on the experimental and visionary use of lens-based media, in which artists and curators are given a platform to make new work in response to the gallery’s unique location on the second floor of Southend Central Library, which is housed within a classic early 1970s Brutalist civic building. Artists confirmed for 2010/2011 include Tris Vonna-Michell, Petra Bauer, Stuart Whipps, Anna Parkina, and Anja Kirschner and David Panos, while forthcoming thematic exhibitions include ‘Infermental’ and ‘Anti-Photography’.
