Queen’s Park Satellite Group: Stop Motion

Stop Motion is the 7th annual exhibition of work by members of the Queens Park Group of London Independent Photography. The show features around 160 images between 23 photographers, using a wide range of media. The members were challenged to realize the theme ‘Stop Motion’, which has been interpreted in many ways – as well as incisive street photography there are more delicate realisations involving poetic sequences.
The exhibition runs in two halves. The first half, between 15-28 August will show the work of 11 photographers and the second half, between 29 August – 11 September will show the work of a further
12.
Runs August 16 – September 11, 2010

Karolina Maria Dudek: Hate

The Silent Room Gallery is proud to announce its first exhibition, a photographic installation by the emerging Polish artist-photographer Karolina Maria Dudek. Dudek’s work challenges the orthodoxy of photography as a two-dimensional medium for representation of the instant, and, in artistic tradition, seeks to explore a reality existing in the imagination, behind the here-and-now. By creating installations, the third dimension presented by the gallery space becomes an element in her work, inviting the viewer to their own interpretation of the confluence of her work’s meaning, the space and reality. The subject of her work is the human being or their absence in the world.
Hate is part of an ongoing work, Faces, which explores the face as an identity key, just as a bar-code identifies a consumer product. As an identity code, the face in portrait representation can be digitally manipulated from multiple sources, for example by juxtaposing different people’s portraits, or sampling portraits across the human lifespan. In Hate, Dudek seeks to identify her own loss of innocence, and studies her own face as she contemplates or expresses disgust or hatred of the world.

Andy Preston, Krystina Stimakovits, Nick Cobb: Without Gloss

Far from the tourist’s eye that settles on iconic landmarks, these images portray the city as it is known to its inhabitants, its authentic appearance. Familiar, though overlooked subjects that we pass by, are brought into sharp focus by the photographer. These images are the photographer’s creative responses to realities we may only subliminally absorb as we go about our hectic urban lives. Photographs by Andy Preston, Krystina Stimakovits and Nick Cobb.
