About The Caravan Gallery
The Caravan Gallery is a collaboration between artists and photographers Jan Williams and Chris Teasdale, geared towards documenting the reality and surreality of the way we live today. It is based out of a mobile exhibition space that engages with people and places, covering areas that are often outside the fold of conventional art galleries. They use colour photography to create accessible but thought-provoking images which frequently celebrate overlooked and occasionally bizarre aspects of everyday life. They believe in – as curator Sara-Jayne Parsons puts it – Doing things with people rather than at them.
