Mimeses North: Yuk Lee

About Mimeses North

Mimeses North is a collective of Northern, fine art
photographers who have come together in order to enhance individual interpretations
of our relationships with the world in which we live, exploring relationships of
fellow humans, animals, interactions with our landscape, across to all things
‘other’.

Mimeses North provides mutual support and critique
along with opportunities for specific collaborations, mounting group
exhibitions on their core theme.

In an increasingly competitive art world, the
collective is a way of opening and maintaining the conversation between artists
and an art loving public. By combining insights and debate with defined
collaboration in work, Mimeses North intends that their combined output will
always add up to more than the sum of parts.

The British Horse Racing Industry.

The sport of Kings (and the wealthy) has over three hundred years of history; the thoroughbreds of today’s racing stock can be traced back to the three founding sires of modern day racing, ‘The Godolphin Arabian’ (1724-1753), ‘Darley Arabian’ (1700-1733) and ‘Byerley Turk’ (1680-1696).Today horse racing as a sport is the second most televised after football; it generates billions in revenue and it’s the backdrop for the most glorious of social events, as provided by such famous courses as Royal Ascot and Epsom. This on-going project explores the relationship between the daily routine of the ‘yard’ and the highlights of the racing world.
