I had studied a lot of these photographs during my fine art degree. It was wonderful getting to see them in reality. I
10/19/2015 1:55 PM
really enjoyed the exhibit. 9
Just that I loved the exhibition at Laing and it was great to see so many different kinds of people there. We talked to
10/19/2015 12:16 PM
nannas and academics and geordies who'd never been in the Laing before. It's a pleasure - and rather moving - to see art that actually reflects my life experiences. 10
Helping us look at our past in our present.

Everyone I saw at the exhibition seemed very engaged with the imagery. I think it evoked memories for a lot of

In the exhibition I saw work thaat I was familiar with, but didn't realise it had been commissioned by Amber/Side. The exhibition showed a complex continuum of the change from industrial to post industrial socio-economic
8/25/2015 8:49 PM
structures in the northeast. Through the exhibition, the importance of commissioning new work is highlighted as evidenced by archive the quality of the Amber/Side archive and its importance as a social document. 55

I studied photography at uni, 20 years ago. This is the best photographic exhibition I have ever seen. I travelled up
8/4/2015 5:31 PM
from Ipswich, specifically to see it. This is my first trip to Newcastle. I was not disappointed. 71
The quality of the work was stunning, in terms of both content and aesthetics. It was a fantastic way to spend a
8/3/2015 12:59 PM
couple of hours and I'd have enjoyed longer, had it been possible for me. 72
the exhibition was a hugely memorable part of my holiday in newcastle
7/30/2015 8:28 PM

Fabulous idea to mount a major exhibition while the old gallery is being renovated. Marvellous opportunity to reconnect with the work from Amber ,much of which I have viewed over the past 13 years.

I've been visiting The Side Gallery for over 20 years now , and am always impressed with the scope and quality of

For Ever Amber Exhibition Visitor Survey 108
SurveyMonkey
I left comments in the visitor book along the following lines. This exhibition gives, literally, a snapshot of Amber's outstanding, thought provoking work over decades and at times against adversity. Having visited many thought-
7/1/2015 11:30 PM
provoking exhibitions at Side Gallery over many years, often focusing on inequality in society, the struggle of those on the margins, and exploitation of the weak by the strong or the poor by the rich, I feel this is bedrock in terms of the genre and crucial that society is documented in this way. If the exhibition opens up a new audience for Amber's work, makes visitors think about photographic images in a new light, and in so doing brings future exhibitions at a refurbished Side Gallery to a wider audience, then it will have served it's purpose. There were a couple of small curatorial mistakes and it's a shame that the mainly purchased or donated archive work, much of which I'm also familiar with, in the small adjacent gallery may be missed by many visitors due to its location, but I realise there are limitations on space and overall it's wonderful to see Amber's work get a profile at the Laing with it's amount of footfall. Well done to all involved. 109
Good stuff!
7/1/2015 2:24 PM
110
An even better than expected exhibition. An excellent selection of photographs from a superb archive. Side /Amber deserves much greater prominence in the region and hopefully this exhibition will help with that
