The Photographic Object
The internationally renowned artists in this exhibition use stitching, cutting, piercing and punching to explore the ambiguous space between two and
three dimensions.
Dissatisfied with the conventional function of photography as a surface that reproduces the external world, these artists test the materiality of their medium. Through a variety of distinct propositions, this exhibition traces an eclectic journey from the potential of photography to exceed its medium to relishing its hermetic and decorative function.
Artists include Maurizio Anzeri (Italy, b.1969), Walead Beshty (UK, b.1976), Annette...

Jordan Baseman - Dark is the Night
Filmed in and around the Soho area, London-based artist Jordan Baseman (USA, b.1960) has interviewed some of its residents, ranging from the notorious to the anonymous.

The three resulting films are being screened below ground, in the lower ground floor of the Gallery, centering around the title piece Dark is the Night. Recorded nocturnally over a six-month period, footage of empty and dimly lit Soho streets is set against a narration by Lucy, a transsexual prostitu...

In Focus - Running Late
Ever waited for a haircut? This display features photos of Soho by Cuts hair salon clients, taken in early 2008, who were handed a camera while waiting for a cut and style. Cuts staff also took to the streets with cameras during their down time.
The resulting photographs present a view of Soho you may have never seen before – in turns mysterious, baffling and full of quiet, reflective moments.
In Focus links together, using broad themes, the topics of the main exhibitions. ...

Café Scientifique - Seeing and Believing
If our eyes were tiny cameras, the view we'd have of the world would be a dizzying blur of glimpses. Our gaze darts around constantly, providing us with only fleeting and fuzzy images of reality. How is it that despite such erratic physiological equipment, we can end up with stable and accurate vision? And what does it really mean to see something?
Join us for a conversation with Beau Lotto from UCL's Institute of Ophthalmology.

Exhibiting Artist: Wojciech K. Jakobiec Wojciech
K. Jakobiec's monochromatic photographic work comes from a solid European tradition of humanism. He is a traveller that has captured, exhibited and published his work on three continents. Jakobiec has an interest in what humanity is capable of creating rather than what it can destroy, and he synthesizes this diverse subject matter from around the world into his own minimalist and carefully framed aesthetic.
Sundays and late evenings by appointment or by chance.
The Red Wall Gallery is located at SPAO at 168 Dalhousie Street, at the corner of Bruyere, in the Byward Market. R.S.V.P. ...

Rinko Kawauchi à la Photographers' Gallery
Although this is Rinko Kawauchi's (b. Shiga, Japan, 1972) first UK exhibition, she has had, and continues to have, a prolific publishing profile.

Marketa Othova à la Photographers' Gallery
PARDON?
Although Othová's photographs are almost exclusively black & white, her work does not fit into the traditional tropes of documentary or art photography with which the black & white medium is usually associated. Large in scale, low in resolution, unframed and pinned to the wall, her images are distinctly presented and structured through carefully edited linear and grid-like sequences interspersed with the occasional stand-alone photograph.
Othová carefully groups together photographs taken from a back catalogue of images, sometimes taken over a number of years. Her intriguing juxtapositions of interiors, street scen...

Ori Gersht à la Photographers' Gallery
This exhibition premieres both a new film The Forest, commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella in association with The Photographers' Gallery, and series of photographs titled Liquidation by the Israeli born, British based artist Ori Gersht.
As with his previous work, the genesis for this project was Gersht's interest in exploring landscapes embedded with both personal and historic resonance. The forest in question surrounds Kolomyia & Kosov, Ukraine, and is a remaining fragment of the once vast primeval forest that covered much of continental Europe. Much mythologised and idealised i...

The Photographers' Gallery presents a series of photographs by the British artist David Spero (b. 1963). Titled Settlements, this is the culmination of an ongoing body of work made whilst visiting communities located throughout Britain who have built and live in low environmental impact settlements. It is also be the first time this body of work will be seen in the UK. Set in beautiful lush green surroundings, some in dense forests, the structures have an almost ageless appearance. In many ways they are reminiscent of surviving remnants of a much older way of life, befor...
