   The first artist to exhibit will be Gavin Parry, a senior lecturer in Photography at Manchester Metropolitan University. In Sick Buildings, Gavin displays images of familiar, yet altered buildings. To the naked eye they appear derelict, run down and graffitti ridden, but Gavin restores them to their former glory by digitally removing the impurities.
   
   Gavin says "The intention of the work is for it to touch on to the debate of where the photograph ends and the image begins".
   
   He continues, "It is as though the process of removing the superfluous in these images maps neatly on to the way the brain can so successfully filter out the inconsequential, the mundane and over familiar when we are engaged in the act of looking".
   
   Sick Buildings will be exhibited in the FACT Bar from 15 December until March.

   Gavin Parry is a Photographer who is also Senior Lecturer on BA(Hons) Photography Course. Constantly seeking the perfect balance between being an educator and a practitioner. The starting point of all his practice is rooted within a Photo Documentary tradition and the photograph's relationship with the real. Perhaps a photograph is no longer seen as a clear 'window on the world', nevertheless, as a visual form, photography still has an unique relationship with its subject. Parry's work both celebrates and exploits this, with the outcomes becoming a very liberal interpretation of Documentary Photography.
   
   Recent work has included: "Unwanted gifts".
