MARGARET REID BOYER – SEAMS

Posted on 2017-11-27

Margaret Reid Boyer describes her work as Narrative Realism. These photographs are not completely narrative and yet there is a feeling of story, a feeling of living. The photographs in Seams contain evidence of a lived in home, however they are not photographs of people. They are, in most cases, images of inanimate objects, although the pictures cannot be categorized as still lifes. The objects in the photographs are evidence of the life within the home. Contradictions exist within these images: beauty in chaos, simplicity in clutter. At first glance the images are unpretty and yet as the viewer spends time with them, they become more familiar and compelling. Reid Boyer is unflinching in her exploration of her own world, and this personal exploration leads to a connection with the modern world outside of this home.

Exhibition runs through to December 1st, 2017

HAPPY END

Posted on 2017-11-27

Michael Haneke (Amour, The White Ribbon, Hidden) returns with a biting satire on bourgeois family values set in the shadow of the European refugee crisis. Featuring a cast of top acting talent, including Isabelle Huppert, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Mathieu Kassovitz and Toby Jones, it’s a piercing dark comedy on the blind preoccupations of middle-class angst.

When her mother falls ill under mysterious circumstances, young Eve (Fantine Harduin) is sent to live with her estranged father’s relatives in Calais. The Laurent family – wealthy, neurotic and self-obsessed – own a lucrative construction company and live in a sprawling mansion house, waited on by servants. But trouble is brewing, as a series of intergenerational back-stabbings threaten to tear the family apart. Meanwhile, distracted by infidelities and betrayals, they fail to notice that their new arrival has a sinister secret of her own.

STEVE GOSLING – A BEAUTIFUL SILENCE

Posted on 2017-11-27

In November 2016, Steve Gosling travelled to South Georgia and Antarctica as an instructor on a Luminous Landscape workshop which gave him the opportunity to capture the landscapes that appear in his photographs.

My son tells me that I have the best job in the world. I think he might just be right! In November 2016 I had the pleasure of being an instructor on a Luminous Landscape workshop in South Georgia & Antarctica. Both locations have been on my bucket list for some time so to have the opportunity to get to see & photograph these incredible landscapes was too good to be true.

It’s not a travel journal but more a collation of the wide variety of subjects that stirred a response in me – from graphic or abstract images to landscapes and the wildlife we saw along the way. It is a mixture of both colour and B&W images as I didn’t want to be restricted to one or the other. The images reflect my visual and emotional response to what I witnessed and I chose the equipment, techniques and mode of presentation that best communicated my response to those stimuli.

This exhibition and the accompanying book tells the photographic story of my adventure. – Steve Gosling
