| Abstract: | ‘The Observers are the cameras with which we are trying to photograph contemporary life’ The Worktown Observation Centre is a collaborative visual archive of everyday life in Bolton. It is inspired by Mass Observation’s Worktown study of everyday life in Bolton which took place in the late 1930s. Between 26 July to 2 August 2014 the centre was based in a shop on Knowsley St, Bolton. Photographers and artists became new observers collecting visual information on life in the town. The shop also hosted a daily exhibition from artists including Liam Curtin, David Dunnico, Mark Page, Gene Watts and Robert Parkinson (Preston is My Paris). |
