STEVEN BOLLMAN – ALMOST TRUE

Posted on 2018-01-29

Almost True comprises over thirty years of work from around the world and will be released as a hardcover book at the time of the exhibition.

Bollman’s photographs enable us to glimpse mysterious depths below the surface details of everyday life. What might seem whimsical upon first glance gives way upon steady reflection to profound beauty and suffering. There is a melancholy to Bollman’s black and white images, a bittersweetness leavened by their uncanny knack for capturing everyday street life.

The images within the series echo one another in composition and are tightly sequenced between the subjects and their gestures among many other elements within each frame.

Exhibition runs through to February 10th, 2018

GORDON PARKS – I AM YOU | PART 1

Posted on 2018-01-29

As a photographer, film director, composer, and writer, Gordon Parks (1912-2006) was a visionary artist whose work continues to influence American culture to this day. In collaboration with the Gordon Parks Foundation, this first half of a two-part exhibition will focus on Parks’ lesser-known bodies of work, such as his elegant compositions of artists in their studios, as well as his timeless fashion photography.

Though Parks is best known for his photographs documenting much of the civil rights era, he spent many years as a freelance photographer for a variety of publications, working across many subjects. Among his lesser-known works featured in the exhibition are a series of portraits of artists in their studios, including Helen Frankenthaler, Alexander Calder and Alberto Giacometti. A 1951 group of images taken in Giacometti’s studio transforms the artist into one of his creations – skeletal and draped in shadow, yet still dominating the composition, even from the background.

Exhibition runs through to February 10th, 2018

STEPHEN PRINA – AS HE REMEMBERED IT

Posted on 2018-01-29

“As He Remembered It” is linked to an anecdote that Stephen Prina recalls as follows:
“Somewhere in the early to mid-1980s Chris Williams and I found each other late at night on La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles. On the other side of the street we could see an illuminated pink object in a shop window, but from our point of view we could not identify it. We crossed the street to take a closer look. Conveniently, a label was attached to the object indicating that it was a furniture by RM Schindler. Obviously, this desk, once a built-in piece of furniture, had been taken out of its context to make it stand out. He did, however, appear to us as an amputee. ”
