George recently did a Your24 for us based around his recent 20:10 exhibition. George has recently updated his website and kindly asked if we could drop our readers a little heads up. Peep Georges work at www.georgecrick.com
This week’s Your Twenty Four contributor is local designer and artist George Crick who took his 24 photos over the 24 hours where the Glass House Gallery pop-up shop opened with the 20:10 Exhibition. The exhibition featured work from George, an exhibit by Disposable Perspectives plus bikes and other goodness.
Below are a few of the photos, see all 24 over on George’s Flickr.
We are still looking for more contributors, get in contact with us at contact@strong-island.co.uk if you want to be involved with Your Twenty Four.

The first Disposable Perspectives Exhibition will be opening this month, located at Market Way in the city centre where they have managed to secure some empty shops which have recently been regenerated for pop-up opportunities. Collaborating with them will be George Crick, a local freelance designer.
Disposable Perspectives is a grassroots art project, run by people who like to get their teeth dirty and hands messy. Using disposable cameras the project aspires to be a culmination and celebration of art + culture in Portsmouth, and life in general, through the vision of young people.
Preview night: Monday 21st 6-9pm
(free booze & nibbles)
Public viewing: Tuesday 22nd – Wednesday 31st

We will have loads of photos and stories from Sunday’s hugely successful Strong Island Bike Ride and to get started we have some huge panoramics taken by George Crick. Sadly we can only show some of the small versions here that do not do them justice so be sure to visit George’s website to see the all of the photos in full size, and spot yourselves in there!
George’s panoramics will be available to buy in Wallspace Gallery in Albert Road from Saturday for a bargain price of just £35.
George Crick got in touch with information and images about his current panoramic project in and around Portsmouth. One of George’s panoramics came 3rd place in the Noir Et Blanc Magazine competition we mentioned last year and since George has been adding to his collection. Below are a few examples, be sure to check George’s website for much bigger versions and more plus lots more photography and illustration too.
George Crick a freelance graphic designer from Portsmouth, you may have seen his C.O.R poster in the frame down on Albert Road. Be sure to check out George’s website and his work, here is a quick example:
We have some great news about our PRIMARY phonography exhibition (find out all the details here) that we can now announce:
- The deadline for submissions has now been extended to Sunday 4th March. We have had some incredible submissions but want to set aside more time to make the exhibition something really special.
- The competition is now open to up to 10 submissions from each individual. With the ability to capture many photos on your phone over the next two months we we want you to not feel restricted to just three. The same rules apply about the photos conforming to compositions using the primary colours though. If you have already submitted feel free to send more photos over as and when you please.
- The exhibition will be hosted by Albert Road’s own Bonzo Studio who are also partnering up with us in the creation of the exhibition space. More news on this soon!
- Finally, we will be running a competition as part of the exhibition where the best three photos submitted will win some incredible prizes. We will be announcing the prizes available very soon but got to say, these will be the best prize haul we have ever offered.
- We will be putting together a poster for the exhibition that will be on sale on the opening night. The poster will feature some of the best submissions and all profits from the sales will go to a local charity (details to follow soon). Due to this we need to say that any photos submitted to PRIMARY will involve you giving us permission to use them for commercial purposes, if you do not want your photo used in this way simply let us know via email.
Well, that is it for now! We really hope to drum up as much coverage locally for PRIMARY in the next couple of months so if you could Facebook/Tweet/+1 about the exhibition we would really appreciate it. We would love this exhibition to be a real reflection of the whole population of Portsmouth with everyone taking part and feeling involved.
