SUMMER MARATHON (Round 1) Kristina Chan & Itamar Freed: ON NOW!

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Our second SUMMER MARATHON takes a revitalised approach to the traditional 'group show', presenting artists in back­-to­-back solo exhibitions (in lieu of one group show) over the summer. Each artist stages their envisioned sol-show over a two-­week period.

ROUND I: UNTIL JULY 26 - ITAMAR FREED & #kristinachan: LUCID DREAMS

Itamar Freed and #kristinachan present photographic works that search for the idea of realness in the natural world.

Influenced by post-impressionism, ideas surrounding the classification and preservation of historical artefacts, nature, and Japanese printing techniques, the works question the veracity of the photograph in the interplay between the real and the fantastic.

The works are digitally and analogously manipulated, combining both curated environments (such as museums, zoos, and digital materials) along with nature photography to question verisimilitude and how we shape our memories.

The photographs include cyanotypes printed on hand-made Japanese paper, lithographs, etchings and pigment prints. The artists utilize both historic and contemporary techniques to decontextualize the image and our expectation of how these traditional techniques can be presented.

An ARTIST TALK will be held on Saturday 11 July at 1pm at the gallery. Spaces are limited so kindly email info@beerslondon.com to reserve your spot.
