Constantine Gras in Common Ground

Mary Miller photo / RBKC Local Studies & Archive
Common Ground presents works from four London based artists that question our relationship with history, the urban landscape and popular culture. The show asks: do we collude with or critique what we encounter in our everyday environments?
LIP member Constantine Gras presents a new short film based on an archive photograph depicting the last house demolished for the Westway (A40) flyover. Using the space of the house cinematically, the film tells a very human story of a man losing his family home in the face of large scale city planning and modernization.

Three photographers explore their individual responses to the same subject matter – the interaction of people and places. Their perspectives range through different degrees of abstraction, from the human to the formal. From everyday interactions between real individuals captured in a moment, to the pure patterns formed by building and street furniture seen from normally unobserved viewpoints.

Paul Vickery in Index7

Index7 showcases the work of seven visual artists and photographers who have graduated from Central St Martins’ postgraduate photography course over recent years. The course, which had its final show at the art school’s iconic Charing Cross Road building in June, gained a reputation for promoting emerging talent, with graduates going on to win major awards. The exhibition is part of Photomonth 2011.
Paul Vickery’s practice is concerned with Western culture’s obsession with image, identity and the contradictory nature of the human condition. His project Past Imperfect Future Tense focuses on people who desire to be visible but are often viewed as outsiders in ‘normal’ society. The work highlights that coming to terms with confusion and contradiction are perhaps the final things we have to deal with as human beings.

Mary Pritchard: Counting Elephants

Mary Pritchard’s solo show features huge hand-coloured images of ancient heritage trees which all have stories and legends attached to them. These tree portraits aim to capture the personality of these ‘green monuments’ and their long interaction with humanity. Who knows what momentous dramas these craggy faces have witnessed throughout their lives?
Alongside these tree portraits will be atmospheric images taken with a hand-made pinhole camera of journeys through England and further afield. ‘Counting Elephants’ refers to the method Mary uses to calculate the exposure times required with the pinhole camera, and is also the title of a series of tiny hand-made books of these journeys. Mary also works as a ceramicist and will show her ‘organic’ porcelain paperclay sculptures and vessels. www.marypritchard.net
