Exhibition visits:
Museum Of London -London Nights
Below are some of the photographs that were showcased in the exhibition.
This exhibition at the museum of London displayed fusing portraiture, documentary, conceptual photography and film, London Nights reveals the capital at night. This exhibition displayed over 200 works by 60 photographers, ranging from the late 19th century to the present day, some never seen before. Contributors included: Alvin Langdon Coburn, Bill Brandt, Rut Blees Luxemburg, Tish Murtha and Nick Turpin.
The Tate -Shape Of Light
The exhibition I saw at Tate Modern 'Shape of Light' brings to life the innovation and originality of photographers over this period, and shows how they responded and contributed to the development of abstraction.
Key photographs are brought together from pioneers including Man Ray and Alfred Stieglitz, major contemporary artists such as Barbara Kasten and Thomas Ruff, right up to exciting new work by Antony Cairns, Maya Rochat and Daisuke Yokota, made especially for the exhibition.
