X-RAY

Posted on 2009-11-30

In a world obsessed with superficial image it is a refreshing contrast to look beyond the surface and appreciate the stuff that surrounds us for what it is made of, not just what it looks like on the outside. English artist Nick Veasey uses x-ray technology to peel back the layers and peer inside all manner of subjects; people, objects, natural forms and animals.

Exhibition runs through to February 13th, 2010

NEW TOPOGRAPHICS

Posted on 2009-11-30

A restaging of the landmark exhibition first seen in 1975 at the International Museum of Photography, George Eastman House. “New Topographics” signaled the emergence of a new photographic approach to landscape: romanticization gave way to cooler appraisal, focused on the everyday built environment and more attuned to conceptual concerns of the broader art field.

Exhibition runs through to January 3rd, 2010
