Conscientious Photography Magazine
The Photograph Isn't the Landscape by Jörg M. Colberg (online) I'm really pleased to have *Constructed Landscapes featured on Conscientious Photography Magazine, in a thoughtful and insightful piece by Jörg M. Colberg, which can be read in full here. A short excerpt has been included below. "I usually find photography that centres on its own process tedious and boring. But Talmor’s is one of the few cases where process and idea actually overlap, so I’m always made to look beyond process. In other words, the work does not limit itself to “look what I can do” — that sad end point of so much very process-based photography." *The book includes newly commissioned essays by Olga Smith, Shoair Mavlian, a poem by Cherry Smyth and an interview with Gemma Padley. Beautifully designed by Hans Gremmen, the book contains 44 main colour plates from the two project sub-series alongside extensive previously unpublished process material such as reproductions of contact sheets, constructed negatives and preparatory studies. |

Architectural Review
Land (printed journal) An image from my Constructed Landscapes series is featured in Issue 1475 (October 2020) of the Architectural Review journal in Land Marks, a photo essay by Eleanor Beaumont that can be viewed here. The essay also features work by artists Fay Godwin, Sebastiao Salgado, Viktor Brim, Diana Zeyneb Alhindawi, Edward Burtynsky, Leah Dyjak, Ricardo Moraes, Fazal Sheikh, Sohei Nishino, Sue Barr, Yto Barrada and Gordon Parks. Notions of ownership and belonging, of construction and production, and all that make up the knotted web of layers and connotations associated with the word ‘land’ both express the colonial structures that underpin our understanding of the world and exert that coloniality back upon the world. This issue begins to pull at the threads that weave these brutal logics into earth. |

Constructed Landscapes, is an ongoing project by Dafna Talmor consisting of two sub-series, which stem from a personal archive of photographs initially shot as keepsakes across different locations.

London Collective consists of art dealers and gallerists who came together in recognition that this is a defining moment of change in how art is accessed. Whilst a number of London galleries have recently reopened, travel and other restrictions mean many people are still unable to visit exhibitions in person. In the London Collective section of the Vortic Collect app, galleries will show specially curated presentations, providing them with an additional virtual space to complement their physical gallery programmes. The new initiative enables galleries to support one another by sharing their audiences and enables visitors to simulate the experience of visiting multiple London gallery locations.

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."

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. |
