"This exhibition proposes a look at artists using photography to reflect upon the ambiguity of vision. In their research, they twist the representative nature of the image to explore what is not visible. They look at themes such as the complication of communicating, the fleeting affects, the fragmentation of experiences, political secrets, prostitution, the relationship to our inner body, visual love, and social conventions."

Synthetic Landscapes
Group Exhibition
Weston Park, Shropshire
4 June - 3 September, 2017
​
I'm delighted to announce that I'm taking part in a group exhibition curated by Meadow Arts at Weston Park including work by Salvatore Arancio, Pablo Bronstein, David Bethell, Edward Chell, Ryan Gander, Jasleen Kaur, Helen Maurerm Helene Muheim, Heather & Ivan Morison and Julian Opie. As stated on their website:

​"Meadow Arts brings a vibrant programme of contemporary art to Weston Park for the first time. Renowned contemporary artists have been invited to explore Weston Park and its history, responding to ‘Capability’ Brown’s grand landscape and James Paine’s architecture with newly commissioned work and a group exhibition.
​
In this corner of the West Midlands, two radically different visions of man-made landscapes collide: on the one hand, the idealised landscaped garden magnificently expressed at Weston, on the other, the emerging industrial landscape. Synthetic Landscapes takes place across two venues, investigating these different ideas; at Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery artist David Bethell examines the birth of the industrial landscape.

Meadow Arts bring unique contemporary art projects to places where art is not usually shown, supporting artists by commissioning new work and creating inspiring events and exhibitions for new audiences." For more information please visit the Meadow Arts website here.

I'm taking part in an interdisciplinary conference at QUAD that takes as its starting point the main festival theme of ‘Evidence’. Each of the selected speakers – a number of whom are exhibiting work as part of FORMAT 15, with others selected from an open call for papers – explore the multi-faceted ways in which ‘Evidence’ can be gathered, examined, re-contextualised and disseminated. The conference day will feature talks by key invited speakers, panel discussions, PechaKucha sessions, culminating with a plenary.  The conference is presented in collaboration with QUAD, the University of Derby and the Digital and Material Arts Research Centre, University of Derby. More info can be found here.

Post-Photography: The Artist with a Camera
Publication (Book)

I'm delighted to announce that my work has been included in Post-Photography: The Artist with a Camera by Robert Shore.  The book was recently published by Laurence King and can be purchased on their website here.

"The real world is full of cameras; the virtual world is full of images. Where does all this photographic activity leave the artist-photographer? Post-Photography tries to answer that question by investigating the exciting new language of photographic image-making that is emerging in the digital age of anything-is-possible and everything-has-been-done-before."

Nostalgias: Visualising Longing
Group Exhibition
The Pie Factory, Margate
1-12 November, 2013
Private View November 8, 6-8.30 pm

The exhibition, coinciding with the Nostalgias: Visualising Longing conference, explores nostalgia for place, home, imaginary homelands. Focusing on photographic and sensory work that explores the interpretations of nostalgia and longing, the work in the exhibition is not in itself nostalgic, but investigates how nostalgia has manifested itself in contemporary art practice.  Especially curated by Monica Takvam and Sam Vale to coincide with the conference, this exhibition brings together the work of 10 national and international artists from Taiwan, Norway, Germany and the UK, offering a unique range of questions and responses to what it means to long for another place.
