8–28 Sep 2016. Exhibition: Animalia

My Insecta project – including a new "Cabinet of Curiosities" installation – will be in the contemporary art exhibition Animalia at the Sassoon Gallery, Folkestone this autumn. Other artists include Tessa Farmer, Kelly McCallum, Dorcas Casey, Fleur AlstonAndrew Bruce, Chris F. Clark, Ali Farmer, Paul Koudounaris and Angela Wooi, among others.

 

About the exhibition

''From the wild to the domestic, a fleeting glimpse to be distantly admired or something on the plate, the relationship of animals with humans is complex, multi-layered and Animalia will generate friction and fusion between death and life, us and them, wild and tame.

 

''Animalia seeks to create a dynamic space to question our perceptions, perfectly situated in this coastal town at the edge of human interaction with creatures of the cultivated land and untamed sea. We invite you to participate in this vibrant re-imaging of what is animal and what is human, to investigate our interconnectedness as species in the past and present. This exhibition promises to be emotive, explorative and playful, sounding out a new voice for the wordless and rendering unfamiliar images for animals we think we know.''

19 Mar 2015. Revelations exhibition at Media Space

Thanks to Ben Burbridge - the co-curator of the exhibition Revelations: Experiments in Photography at the Science Museum's Media Space gallery - for inviting me to the preview of the show, and, more significantly, asking me to copy-edit his accompanying book Revelations (published by Mack).

 

The exhibition runs from March to September 2015 in London before moving to Bradford. Definitely worth a visit!

 

If anyone requires copy-editing or proofreading, or advice on producing publications - especially photography books and photobooks, just shout!
