ALL MY LOVIN’

Posted on 2010-06-28

All My Lovin’ is a group exhibition with works by Elinor Carucci, Lydia Panas, Phillip Toledano and Edith Maybin.
The exhibition shows photographic works concerned exclusively with “You and I”. It is an exhibition about love, loving and being loved; about loved ones at home, by our side, or separated from us, those with whom we feel the deepest bonds of the soul, but with whom our everyday relations are often filled with conflict, so that we experience alternating emotional security and insecurity. All my lovin’ speaks of human relationships in powerful and moving individual images and picture series. We see couples young and old, fathers, mothers, parents with their children, happy and unhappy people, strangers who approach strangers, and others who emerge from the prison of restricted thinking in order to show spontaneous sympathy and experience love.

Opposite – Tatiana, Lydia Panas.

HELEN LEVITT

Posted on 2010-06-28

A full review of her work since her death last year, through 120 images and the documentary film In the Street Helen Levitt is one of the great North American photographers of the second half of the 20th century. Her work is notable for her unique outlook and her documentary style, focusing on urban life, mainly in the street of New York. Her images capture tiny moments of daily life, apparently banal instants yet which have great metaphoric meaning for the social conditions of our time.

This exhibition, produced by the ICO Foundation, is the first anthology organised since her death in 2009 aged 96. It presents close to 120 images taken between 1936 and the 1990s, and the documentary In the Street, a precursor to independent American film which she made with the writer James Agee and the painter Janice Loeb in 1945. The exhibition underlines how Levitt’s work set out the aesthetics of instantaneity in street photography, with her ability to suspend movement, to capture tiny moments, to break the flow of reality with endless visual potential.

Exhibition runs through to August 29th, 2010.
