Claire Phillips - The Human Face of Death Row
When:	Saturday, August 15 2009 @ 11:00 AM BST - Friday, October 09 2009 @ 05:00 PM BST
Event Type:	Exhibition
Where:	The Capitol North Street Horsham RH12
Description:	This exhibition brings the viewer face-to-face with different individual human perspectives on the death penalty and reflects on the human face of death row. Through portraiture, Claire communicates her personal experience of meeting people who have faced an extraordinary situation - the finality of execution. Her subjects include death row inmates and their families, exonerated inmates, an executioner, jury foreman, legislator, and victim�s mother. The portraits present the humanity of the people involved � their very ordinariness. The comfortable nature of the paintings is juxtaposed against a more challenging sound track of interviews and commentary from an execution. This work is facilitated by the Arts Council and human rights charity, Reprieve. Open daily - free admission
