Ecce Iteruman exhibition of site specific art work at Chester Castle in a range of media including sound, photography and sculpture, by a collective of Chester based artists: Kate Gater, Alexandru Modoi and Estelle Woolley.  The exhibition title is Latin for ‘see again’, which refers to the castle being seen in a new way.

Kate Gater (MA FRSA) is an artist working with sound, installation and digital technologies, currently finishing her PhD in Sound Art at The University of Chester. Her work deals with sonic memories on time, place and recollection. Gater has recently exhibited at Goldsmiths and The Whitechapel Gallery. For ‘Ecce Iterum’, Gater has produced an installation and sound art compositions which draw on the rich and dynamic history of Chester and the castle as an important port and trading centre.

Alexandru Modoi works with photography and developing technologies, interrogating the photographic image of objects working together – photographs which can be used for 3D representations. He works with digital and analogue photography which often implies developing technologies, suggesting that a contemporary practice can be aware of its past and simultaneously be looking into the future too. He graduated from Manchester School of Art with a Master of Art in Photography, has exhibited his work at The Holden Gallery Manchester, Tate Britain and Kingston Museum, and is preparing for his PhD.

Estelle Woolley is an interdisciplinary artist and MA Fine Art graduate from The University of Chester. She has exhibited widely across the North West and Wales, and actively works to raise the profile of contemporary art in Chester. She has a keen interest in collecting fragile materials and exploring ways to combine them with other objects, and often sounds. Woolley’s work consists of an installation of sound sculptures and juxtaposed objects which nestle into the alcoves as visitors make their way up to the top of the Agricola tower.
