Photo50: No Place is an Island - London Art Fair
Group show - curated by Rodrigo Orrantia - & Panel Discussion April 20-24, 2022 Preview: Wednesday 20 April, 2022 I'm pleased to announce that my work will be included in the latest edition of Photo50, No Place is an Island, curated by Rodrigo Orrantia, presenting work by British and UK-based artists responding to the idea of an island. Echoing John Donne’s celebrated book No Man is an Island, the exhibition explores what it means to be an island and its multiple possibilities towards the future. The title of the exhibition also alludes to the idea that contemporary photography is not an island or an isolated medium, and the selected artists will showcase photography as part of a wider practice, pushing and redefining its boundaries through sculpture, performance, moving image and sound. I will also be taking part in a panel discussion on Photography Focus Day, with Anne Braybon and Aliki Braine, chaired by Rodrigo Orrantia. For more information and ticketing, please visit the LAF website here. Participating Artists: John MacLean | Eva Stenram | Dafna Talmor| Martin Seeds | Tom Hunter | Tom Lovelace | Andy Sewell | Aliki Braine | Esther Teichmann | Bindi Vora | Shepherd Manyika | Alexander Mourant | Sarah Pickering | Hannah Hughes Image Credit: Esther Teichmann |

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by Hans Gremmen, the book contains 44 main colour plates from the two project sub-series alongside extensive previously unpublished process material such as reproductions of contact sheets, constructed negatives and preparatory studies.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. |

The exhibition was developed from the metaphorical meaning of ‘Mother Nature’ as a life force and its omnipresent nurturing energy. Each of the artists explore the medium of photography, drawing inspiration from aspects in their own environments, investigating their relationship to land and identity, and how these are inextricably linked.

Constructed Landscapes
Solo show (online - extended reality app Vortic Collect) 26 June - 18 July 2020 I'm excited to be showing a selection of work from the two sub-series from my ongoing project, Constructed Landscapes, as well as previously unseen studies from the series, in Sid Motion Gallery's first exhibition on the Vortic Collect app, as part of the London Collective. 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. Produced by collaging medium format colour negatives, the resulting images are staged landscapes, a conflation combining the ‘real’ and the imaginary. For more information and to download a list of available work please visit the gallery website here. You can download the Vortic Collect app onto an Iphone or Ipad here, or view a list of exhibitions here. Launching 26 June 2020 from 3pm, London Collective on the Vortic Collect app, brings together over 40 of the UK’s best commercial galleries to present exhibitions on the new extended reality app for the art world. 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. London Collective galleries include: Arcade / Arcadia Missa / Hannah Barry Gallery / Bosse & Baum / Cecilia Brunson Projects / Massimo De Carlo / Sadie Coles HQ / Pilar Corrias / Corvi-Mora / Cristea Roberts / Thomas Dane Gallery / Edel Assanti / Emalin / Carl Freedman Gallery / Stephen Friedman Gallery / Frith Street Gallery / Goodman Gallery / Holtermann Fine Art / Pippy Houldsworth Gallery / Alison Jacques Gallery / Annely Juda Fine Art / Josh Lilley/ Lévy Gorvy / Lisson Gallery / Koppe Astner / Victoria Miro / The Modern Institute / mother’s tankstation / Sid Motion Gallery / Pi Artworks / Project Native Informant / Southard Reid / Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac / Sprovieri / Sprueth Magers / The Sunday Painter / Union Pacific / Waddington Custot / Amanda Wilkinson/ White Cube / David Zwirner |

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."
