The Michael Hoppen Gallery is delighted to announce 31 Years; an exhibition of work by Boris Savelev, one of Russia’s most important and renowned photographers. It will be the first time his work will be shown in the UK. 31 Years is a series of photographs created by Savelev from 1976 to 2006. It documents not only his changing sensibilities and aesthetic concerns; light and form, flashes of colour, moments created by the interaction of individuals within their urban landscape, but also his experimentation with both kallitype layered over silver gelatin and meticulously multi layered pigment prints, which feed and inform the resulting images.
This exhibition runs until the 30th of May, 2009

Haunch of Venison London continues its exhibition programme at its new venue, 6 Burlington Gardens, with ‘True’, an exhibition of new work by Thomas Joshua Cooper. Charting a two year journey to the polar regions of the Atlantic basin, the exhibition presents new works from the series, ‘The World’s Edge’ – an ongoing work that seeks to map the extremities of the land and islands that surround the Atlantic Ocean.
The 79 works in this exhibition include images made in the North and South poles, at the northern most land points of Norway and Greenland, and the most northerly point of the Antarctic Peninsula, Prime Head, which has had fewer human visitors than the Moon.
This exhibition runs until the 30th of May, 2009

One of my favourite exhibition spaces in the world – Dia: Beacon presents You see I am here after all, a new work by American artist Zoe Leonard comprising several thousand vintage postcards of Niagara Falls that the artist collected in flea markets and online auctions., dating from the early 1900s to the 1950s. Rendered stereotypical and generic through repletion over decades, these landscape motifs are emblematic of mass culture’s transformation of natural sites into tourist destinations.
This exhibition runs until the 10th of September, 2010

Italian artist Roberto Saletti conjures images from a time and space less defined and more like enigmatic memories with his “partial revelation” darkroom techniques.
Saletti’s photographic explorations go beyond what is captured through his camera lens and begins with the creative work in the darkroom. Stretching the nature of the photographic image, Saletti uses a process of painting developing solution onto the white photograph paper with a rag after exposing the image onto the paper. This technique pushes his original image and creates greater freedom and expressiveness in Saletti’s photographic artwork. Saletti commented, “I have learned to make optimal photos from a technical point of view; then I have realized I was being bored and I pushed to search for greater freedom.”
This exhibition runs until the 7th of May, 2009

Miles Aldridge’s images depict a stupendously glossy and magnetically vibrant world with ultra slick, hyper-lit models and signature acid tones. Standing out among contemporary fashion and figurative photography for its luminous composition and for the mysterious situations he has created, these aspects of his practice both derive and simultaneously depart from the work of artists which Hamiltons has represented over the decades, including Horst, Penn and Avedon. Cinematic expression marks Aldridge’s work and it is not surprising therefore that his dreamlike, erotic style has drawn comparisons with the work of Bergman, Dali, David Lynch, Hitchcock and Godard amongst others.
This exhibition runs until the 10th of May, 2009
