NEW WAVE PHOTOGRAPHY
|
 |
Opening times: daily 12noon - 7pm
Private view: Friday 17 February 6-9pm
Emerging talent from Central and Eastern Europe is due to arrive at the 'New Wave Photography Exhibition', opening at the Crypt Gallery, London from 18th - 26th February 2012.
The atmospheric catacombs of St.Pancras Church, Euston, venue of the gallery, hosts 11 young photographers from 6 countries: Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania and the Czech Republic.
The exhibition demonstrates a high-level of technical ability as well as bold experimentation. Slovakian photographer, Peter Cibak introduces computer-generated figures into digital photographs in his series 'Zygota'. Monika Stacho's strikingly personal images demonstrate digital layering to create illusionary compositions of her childhood memories. Polish photographer, Katarzyna Niedzwiecka combines digital photomontage with gum print, a rare 19th century technique to create her surreal series 'The Animal Called Human'.
New Wave Photography challenges the perception of Eastern European photography by displaying vibrant, experimental work that celebrates the youthfulness of the artists themselves.
All photographs shown at the Crypt Gallery are available to purchase during the exhibition. Entrance to the exhibition is free.

STILL SOUNDS
A Solo Show
by Margaret Moore
|
 |
Opening times: daily 11am - 6pm
The tension between the power and fragility of nature and memory is Margaret Moore's inspiration. It leads to work in different media - sculpture, photography, print, film, sound and installation. In her practice Margaret considers history and heritage in relation to our increasingly globalised world. Collecting and cataloguing family photographs and cuttings are an important part of the process.
Still Sounds remains a work in progress. It is a large scale walk-through installation with sound and video. Margaret created Still Sounds as a series of screen prints on tissue paper from her family photograph collection. She then presented it as a walk-through installation of printed and painted hangings for her degree show in 2011.
Still Sounds will be Margaret's first solo show. The work will be displayed at the Crypt as layered hangings on lightweight see-through fabric to conceal and reveal simultaneously. Moving through Still Sounds, the viewer becomes part of the work.
The accompanying sound installation combines song with recordings taken over the last three years in Glasgow and the Western Isles where Margaret's family originates. It explores the ability of voice to evoke memory, redefining our sense of time and place.
