Jack Malik is a struggling singer-songwriter in a tiny English seaside town whose dreams of fame are rapidly fading, despite the fierce devotion and support of his childhood best friend, Ellie. Then, after a freak bus accident during a mysterious global blackout, Jack wakes up to discover that The Beatles have never existed … and he finds himself with a very complicated problem, indeed.
Performing songs by the greatest band in history to a world that has never heard them, and with a little help from his steel-hearted American agent, Debra, Jack’s fame explodes. But as his star rises, he risks losing Ellie — the one person who always believed in him. With the door between his old life and his new closing, Jack will need to get back to where he once belonged and prove that all you need is love.

TweetNew York City, as sharply and lovingly described by E.B. White in his seminal 1949 essay Here Is New York, is still very much a city full of “strangers who have pulled up stakes somewhere and come to town, seeking sanctuary or fulfillment or some greater or lesser grail. The capacity to make such dubious gifts is a mysterious quality of New York.” This observation was as true then as it was in 1980 when Ryan Weideman first came to Manhattan, as it is now for the people who make New York their chosen home.
As a complete body of work, In My Taxi uniquely portrays the interstitial moments of New York City nightlife. The back bench seat is full of big-time business buzzing around town, or giggling girls piled making their way home on the other side of a long night, or famous raconteurs like Allen Ginsberg and the Beastie Boys. Weideman, always bridging the gap between strangers, immediately joined the party and was often both photographer and subject simultaneously. Images such as Self-Portrait with Black and White Couple illustrate not only the rapport between Weideman and his passengers, but also his acumen wielding the camera from the driver’s seat. Each face is half obscured in darkness while staring down the camera with palpable charisma. Weideman’s deft ability to keep up with the changing landscape and pace of the metropolis and its people over the course of thirty years renders In My Taxi both wonderfully nostalgic and timeless.

Working with photography across still and moving image installations, Teichmann looks at the relationships between loss, desire and the imaginary, slipping between autobiography and fiction.
On Sleeping and Drowning transforms the gallery space into a layered liquid montage of photographs, painted backdrops, moving image, sound and objects. Cyanotype seaweed creatures are juxtaposed with painted photographic backdrops of caves, a boat with cloud sails, and photographs of women sleeping, dreaming and swimming through otherworldly spaces.
The exhibition plunges the audience into an alternate orphic world, moving within womb-like spaces of beds, swamps, caves and grottos, in search of a primordial return. The photographic images slip in and out of darkness, evoking a liquid space of night. Cloaked in dripping inks and bathed in subtle hues, the bodies depicted are sensuous but seemingly beyond reach, entangled with narratives of loss and desire.
Exhibition runs through to June 22nd, 2019
