Lost
And Found DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND THIS SHOW'S RUN HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL
JANUARY 8TH 2005 Bringing together the work of some of the twentieth century's most significant photographers, Lost and Found showcases vintage prints made between the late 1940's and 1970's from the Camera Press archive. The exhibition includes photojournalism, documentary, fashion, portrait, celebrity and personalimages by known and unknown photographers as varied in their practice as Yousuf Karsh and Don McCullin. Some of these photographs have been in constant circulation since they were made while others have probably never been published. Some of the photographs were once well known and have subsequently been forgotten, others are by photographers whose work is in the process of being critically re-appraised. Lost and Found brings these diverse works together to look at the development of photography in the past half century and suggests that contemporary photographic practice can be traced back to some extraordinary pieces. |

2nd - 31st July 2004 Nilsson was educated as a photojournalist but has turned his attentions to portrait photography with impressive results. His striking medium format colour images of young ballroom dancers arise from his fascination with the imperfect and immature body and mind of the teenager placed in a world where one must strive for perfection and beauty. It is precisely this collision between the dancers ideal of the perfect body image and adolescent imperfection and diversity which is so prevalent in Morten's images and makes them so fascinating. The slight awkwardness behind the perfect stances and smiles, the venire of beauty somehow questioned, he catches his subjects immediately as they leave the dance floor after competing. This is Mortens first London show. He was born in 1967 and continues to work as a freelance photographer in Copenhagen. All work is available for purchase.

4th - 26th June 2004 " These photographs represent a vignette of the people, places and things I photographed in a variety of London hotels over the last ten years while working as a night porter. There are also pictures from hotels I stayed in as a paying guest and my life out of uniform. In the film Dr. Zhivago, the actor Alec Guiness, playing a Russian red army general talks about an unperson: "She died or vanished somewhere in one of the labour camps...a nameless number on a list that was afterwards mislaid." Where are people going to and where do they come from? To work or stay in a hotel is sometimes to be on that list. Chris Shaw, January 2004 All work is available for purchase.

Wolfgang
Mueller 16th April- 29th May 2004 Wolfgang Mueller's photographs, taken during the run-up to St. Petersburg's anniversary celebrations, tell the stories of children and teenagers who live in the roofs and attics of disused buildings, five or six floors above the city's streets. It is here that they hope to find some sort of a home where they can sleep, take drugs without being apprehended, and make money from prostitution. Many of them have escaped from apathetic parents or decaying orphanages. "Karat" is the brand name of a shoe polish containing solvents that many of them inhale. A book of the same title published by Nazraeli Press accompanies this exhibition.

Exotic Banalities Elderly ladies and young girls from seaside towns along the south coast of England are seen afresh in the photographs of Nougarede and Sank. Both the artists were born elsewhere, Magali Nougarede is French and Michelle Sank is South African. In each picture there is a sense of theatre, though none of the photographs have been staged. The setting glows silvery in Magali's images and golden in Michelle's. The costumes are almost the stars of the show; they are lovingly scrutinised but never judged. These are everyday stories anchored in fantasy. Sank and Nougarede are UK based photographic artists and this is the first London showing of these series of images. a TRACE exhibition curated by Sian Bonnell presented by Tom Blau Gallery |
