The exhibition was at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brooklandsmuseum.com\">Brooklands Museum<\/a> in Weybridge and was of my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.douglaskurn.com\/projects\/album\/brooklands?p=1&#038;s=UA-21394684-1\">night photographs<\/a> of the Brooklands race track, which was a great place to have it. I received some tremendous feedback including from people who wouldn&#8217;t normally visit art galleries. <\/p>\n<p>Some of the prints can be seen again at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.windsorcontemporaryartfair.co.uk\">Windsor Contemporary Art Fair<\/a> in the Windsor Race Course Grandstand on November 9th and 10th, so if you&#8217;re interested get in touch as I have some 2 for 1 tickets available. It&#8217;s usually a very laid back affair with some fabulous art on display.<\/p>\n<p>Also the BBC have featured The Spirit of Brooklands on their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/in-pictures-24566421\">website<\/a>, and not to be outdone, Top Gear have also run a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.topgear.com\/uk\/photos\/the-first-racing-circuit-in-the-world-2013-10-22\">feature<\/a>. It&#8217;s amazing what appearing on the BBC does for hits to your website!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be posting some new work soon so it will seem like feast or famine when it comes to my blog posts!<\/p>\n<p>:DK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What with moving house (and wondering if the people in that industry really know what they&#8217;re doing), organising my first major solo exhibition, and coping with work it&#8217;s been a busy time.
