'For Our Pleasure?' Exhibition photos

Below are some photos from the recent Exhibition I curated for Photomonth 2012.  The show was in the gallery at Hackney Picturehouse and was open from 1st November until 28th November.  

The Photographers involved were Daniel Kukla, Martin Usborne, myself and Adrien Ehrhardt.  The show also contained a number of pieces of taxidermy since the theme was our relationship with animals.

All in all the show was a great success and being my first curatorial project I was very pleased with the achievement and the reaction of the press to the Exhibition.

We had a panel discussion on the 18th November and I will post some photos from this event as I have them.....

For Our Pleasure?

It seems I have greatly neglected this blog of late but things have been BUSY BUSY BUSY. 

I curated an Exhibition which is part of Photomonth 2012, East London's International Photo Festival.

The Exhibition is titled 'For Our Pleasure?' and is currently showing at the gallery in Hackney Picturehouse. If you get chance pop in and see it.  It looks great, photos to follow!

It is a thought provoking group photography and installation experience examining human interaction with the environment and animals, and culminating in a panel discussion at which the audience are able to partake in discussion regarding issues raised throughout the show.  

From stuffed Bison heads and taxidermy stag heads wearing make up, through to the work of four very different photographers, the exhibition looks at the way we, as humans, exploit and interact with animals in the created environment around us.

The Photographers are Martin Usborne, Daniel Kukla, Adrien Ehrhardt and Alex Grace.  The Exhibition has been curated and produced by Alex Grace
