It's been a while since posting but I thought I would update this with a post from the current exhibition. I have selected only but a few pieces of work that are being exhibited.The exhibition has an eclectic mix of traditional print based work, to multi media presentations, and a large canvas.
These are from Marianne Van-Loo, Livia Lazar, Kev Pritchard and of course myself. Other Photographers have their work included making a total of 10 contributors.

From the outside looking in. A series by David Wade |
|
Free postcards and a link card which allows the visitor to download an e-book |
David Wade's work are prints made on a high quality 'Metallic' paper which absorbs the light and refracts it creating a luminance. The Prints have been mounted on MDF board and stand 3/4 of inch away from the wall. The idea being that there should be no frame or glass to act as a barrier or constriction to the subject.

Kev Pritchard's work which looks at a Slate Quarry in North Wales |
|
A High Quality Image invites the viewer to step inside a darken room. From the outside you can hear the wind blowing, and distant 'chinking' noises of slate being mined |
|
Once inside chairs await the viewer allowing rest. The screen projects a series of images from the slate mine. |
Your senses are muted with a cool dark room, the only focus are the
images in front of you. During the presentation the wind blows, and mine
noises echo around you. A deep solemn voice echoes reading poetry - the
combination creates a feeling of actually standing where the images were captured.

Livia Lazars exhibition of a series captured in Romania |
|
The series reflects on the older values which are becoming lost in the country. |
Livia's work creates a narrative which flows in the image selection. With beautiful composition the photographs are only but a few of a larger collection, all featured in a book and postcards. More of her work can be found here

Marianne Van-Loo. Diesel for successful living |
|
Included as part of the exhibition is a limited newspaper |
Marianne's work is a series which reflects upon India's changing economy. "This series was inspired by Harpers' ideas on expanding sociological
vision and Pragers' book Delirious Delhi. With this series I wanted to
render social processes. In particular to document how the world's
largest democracy (India) operates on a local level. Much of the
services provided as seen in this series, will disappear in the future
as India will open its door to Foreign Direct Investment. These are
photographs of service providers in Pansheel Park, an enclave in south
Delhi, where I currently live and work"
Marianne's Newspaper is in limited production and copies can be purchased here
