Tom Hunter’s “Public Spaces, Public Stages” is series of photographs the artist took within the local London borough of Hackney.
Speaking about his new exhibition, Tom said, “These photographs are Earthly, here the word evokes the inter-relatedness of the environment to the life that takes place within it… Physical human situations, stories, people and places in-between. I have sought to express and explore a self-reflection and quietness through which one might transcend the immediate realities, pressures and distractions of contemporary urban society.”
The photographs are created using the pinhole technique. According to Tom “My choice to make these photographs with a pinhole camera is critical. It has implications on various levels not only for the construction of the image but also the construction of meaning or interpretation around the image. The pinhole camera is an arcane technology, the most rudimentary of interventions with allusions to the pre and early history of photography. The pinhole camera has no shutter. It makes no sound. Its mechanism; the action of light ‘seeping in’ has the quality of absorbing not grabbing.”

The Picture Collection comprises forty-four works inspired by the New York Public Library’s picture archive, one of the august institution’s lesser-known troves. The archive contains 1.2 million prints, postcards, posters, and printed images, most of which have been cut from secondary sources, such as books and magazines. It is the largest circulating picture library in the world, organized according to a complex cataloging system of over 12,000 subject headings.
Since its inception in 1915, it has been an important resource for writers, historians, artists, filmmakers, fashion designers, and advertising agencies. Diego Rivera, who made use of it for his legendary mural for the Rockefeller Center, Man at the Crossroads (1934), noted how the scope of this picture collection might go on to shape contemporary visions of America.
Each work is made up of a number of images that Simon has selected from a given archival category, such as Chiaroscuro, Handshaking, Haircombing, Express Highways, Financial Panics, Israel, and Beards and Mustaches. In artfully overlapped compositions, only slices of the individual images are visible, each fragment intimating its whole. Thus multiple related images are transformed into almost abstract color fields and geometric shapes. The framing and mounting has been specifically designed to make reference to early hanging systems in libraries and museums.

For the first time in Sweden, the exhibition will present Clark’s magnum opus, the notoriously iconic Tulsa-monograph, compromising the complete series of fifty vintage photographs from a private collection.
Taken in Tulsa, Oklahoma between 1963 and 1971, when the artist was in his twenties, the images are acclaimed for their powerful impact as both social documentary and subjective autobiography.
The main theme for Larry Clark’s body of work has always been honesty. With an unapologetic, unorthodox, and unedited depiction of sex, drugs and other vices, the Tulsa-series is acclaimed by critics for stripping bare the myth that Middle America had been immune to the social convulsions that rocked America in the 1960’s.
From rouge artist to rebel icon, Larry Clark has served as a saint of provocation and his documentary aesthetic has inspired generations of artists and filmmakers. Without Larry Clark there would be no Nan Goldin, Ryan McGinley, Terry Richardson, Wolfgang Tillmans, Juergen Teller, Spike Jonze, Martin Scorsese, or Gus Van Sant.
