OLIVER HOLDEN – UNCERTAIN BRISTOL

Posted on 2012-09-03

Uncertain Bristol is an ongoing process that explores the possibility of visually representing the formation of memory through photography.
The way in which a viewer interprets discernible information in a photograph relies heavily on experience and memory. With this, one reconstructs a certain memory through thought; fragmented, multi-levelled and fluid but with information lacking at certain points. Despite this, perception attempts to fill in the information. Smell, sound and touch enters the equation, transforming the original visual memory into a multi-dimensional sensory experience. Each capture attempts to do just that. Not to “copy”what is visually seen, but to represent the atmosphere at the point of shutter close. To encourage the viewer to delve into ones memory and experience to complete the picture.

Uncertain Bristol focuses on the heart of Bristol’s historic industrious landmarks, the docks, factories and railways. These raw materials are striking form, power and grandeur, delivered through the lens of an affected manual film camera under uncertain visceral circumstances. Once captured, the results visually emulate certain stages of memory reconstruction whilst challenging the perception of the viewer

Exhibition runs through till September 29th, 2012

JUERGEN TELLER – IRENE IM WALD

Posted on 2012-09-03

“Gebrüder Grimm, witches, the big bad wolf, the forest is one hell of a scary place, I thought. But even as a child I was drawn towards it – it was scary, but the beauty and the peacefulness of it all sucked me in.”

Juergen Teller’s images tell stories, usually they are the stories of people. For “Irene im Wald” (Irene in the Forest), Teller photographed the woods nearby the artist’s childhood home near Nuremberg, Germany. Only sometimes including figures, Teller’s mother Irene and other relatives, the solitary nature of the pictures in “Irene im Wald” contributes to the intimacy of this honest portrait of the forest that he grew up with, capturing its haunting and lingering personality.

Exhibition runs from September 13th to November 4th, 2012

PREMIUM RUSH

Posted on 2012-09-03

Dodging speeding cars, crazed cabbies and eight million cranky pedestrians is all in a day’s work for Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the best of New York’s agile and aggressive bicycle messengers. It takes a special breed to ride the fixie – super lightweight, single-gear bikes with no brakes and riders who are equal part skilled cyclists and nutcases who risk becoming a smear on the pavement every time they head into traffic. But a guy who’s used to putting his life on the line is about to get more than even he is used to when his last envelope of the day – a routine “premium rush” run – turns into a life or death chase through the streets of Manhattan.
