An art exhibition housed in shipping containers is set to open.

On Friday, March 28, Anomalous, an exhibition of artworks created by BA (Hons) Fine Art students at Solent University, is set to open in the city's Guildhall Square.

Each year, second-year Fine Art undergraduates display their work at a public exhibition housed in shipping containers on Guildhall Square.

The exhibition space pays tribute to Southampton's maritime history.

This year's exhibition also features a piece of performance art, which city residents are invited to get involved in.

Fine Art undergrad, Pixie Moon, said: "It's all been an experience; organising a show together and a first foray into performance art.

"This exhibit has definitely been challenging, but also an exciting opportunity I'm glad to be part of as it broadens our horizons as working artists."

Anomalous has been curated entirely by students, who will be at the exhibition across the six days, giving the public an opportunity to hear more about their practice and the concept behind this year's exhibition.

Second-year Fine Art student, Owen Douglass, said: "Exhibiting in a public-facing manner for the first time is such an exciting opportunity to gain recognition and build connections from collaborating and networking with others."
