THE PHOTOGRAPHIC OBJECT

Posted on 2009-04-20

The Photographic Object will examine photography as an object in its own right and on its own terms. The advent of digital photography and the current saturation of imagery, through print, mobile phones and the internet, has resulted in a renewed interest in the physical and tactile quality of the photograph.

This exhibition will bring together a diversity of approaches to the photograph as ‘object’, such as overlaying, stitching, cutting, piercing, punching or moulding the works. The works in the exhibition will explore the material potential of the photographic form that lies somewhere between two and three dimensions. The Photographic Object will display the work of a range of internationally renowned artists including Gerhard Richter, Andy Warhol and Wolfgang Tillmans who use photography in this manner.

Opposite – Damage (glass) from the series damage (2005+) Catherine Yass.

This exhibition runs until the 14th of June, 2009
