Francesca Woodman - Guggenheim March 16 - June 13 2012
The word that seems most often repeated when it comes to the work of
Francesca Woodman is ‘gothic’, yet what struck me most in the comprehensive exhibition
currently on show at the Guggenheim is the honesty and rawness of the work. I wasn’t overly
familiar with Woodman’s images before coming to the exhibition, and perhaps...
André Kertész: Meudon 1928
In the history of photography and in photographic theory, there are a
few icons, a few images that are discussed in almost every book on photography that exists.
One such image is André Kertész’s Meudon, 1928. Apart from approaching this piece of work –

Genius of Photography is one such series. ‘In the course of our 170 year relationship,
photography has delighted us, served us, moved us, outraged us and occasionally disappointed
us. But...
Developer Trays - John Cyr
Developer Trays by John Cyr is a striking set of images of… you
guessed it, developer trays. On his website Cyr writes that he has photographed the trays so
that the photographic community can remember its past and the tools used throughout
photography’s history, that the titling of each tray with its owner’s name is a...
John Gollings
The work of John Gollings is almost instantly recognisable within the
field of architectural photography, not merely for its seeming ubiquity within the
Australian architectural landscape, but also for the clarity of vision with which he shoots
his subject. Having studied as an architect in Melbourne in the 1960’s, he photographs
buildings in a way that captures...
