Gary Barker Chapeltown Stories 13/10/2011 – 11/11/2011 "In some ways, Barker's drawings are simply documentary. In Neither a burrower or a lender be, we see a circle of dancers outside a Ukranian club ('Dancing is important, it seems to me,' says the artist). There is also group of people marching (there are frequent marches in Chapeltown, both political and religious). But more than just recording the times, Barker mentally replays, pen-to-paper, the multifarious things he sees people doing: the stories of the place. He re-enacts and enlivens in much the way that children do when they draw".
