(Photo © Anna Arca) 7 JERWOOD PHOTOWORKS AWARDS 2015 TEACHERS RESOURCE THE ARTISTS: TEREZA ZELENKOVA Tereza Zelenkova has travelled to her native Czech Republic to explore history, local legend and folklore. The eerily beautiful, black and white photographs of woodlands, stone structures and relics are described as dream- like, a coming together of subjective and subconscious associations. Whether by chance or intention, her personal relationship to the place also informs and inspires the images. Personal narrative and cultural myth are implied through the places, scenes and artefacts she photographs but the stories remain untold. I hope to create a portrayal of my home country that reflects its rich history, which I believe is imbued with elements of darkness and melancholy, occasionally seeping to the surface through dark fairytales, forgotten biographies, local histories and superstitions. There are many places and stories, which I think deserve to be documented, preserving something from their individual genius loci through photographs that not only describe and translate, but also enhance the poetics of a place. Tereza Zelenkova, Elizabeth Bathory’s Bedroom, ˆ Cachtice Castle, 2015 Tereza Zelenkova (b.1985, Czech Republic) received an MA in Photography from the RCA in 2012 and was shortlisted for Saatchi New Sensations in the same year. Tereza has several self-published books, The Absense of Myth, was selected as one of the best black and white photobooks of 2013 by The Telegraph. terezazelenkova.com photoworks.org.uk/showcase-tereza-zelenkova/ photoworks.org.uk/interview- jerwoodphotoworks-awardee-tereza-zelenkova/ 8 JERWOOD PHOTOWORKS AWARDS 2015 TEACHERS RESOURCE THE ARTISTS: MATTHEW FINN Matthew Finn has been photographing his mother since 1987. He describes the work as an on-going collaboration. His mother actively participates in some of the portraits but at other times seems more of an observed subject, oblivious to the camera. Sometimes the images shift towards using objects as metaphor and the photographer himself occasionally appears in the image in a reflection. The psyche and perceptions of both subject and photographer are at play here, their intimate relationship key to the work. I am drawn to projects that have direct reference to my life and the people in it. I am interested in people and events that surround me, these become my visual references for projects that may take years to realise. I am drawn to people both as individuals and as types to explore and get to know through picture making. My projects are Matthew Finn, Untitled, from the series Mother, 1987–Present collaborations between photographer and subject set within a world that the subject inhabits Matthew Finn (b.1971, United Kingdom) received his first degree from the University of Derby

  • TPG Exhibition List
    Exhibition History 1971 - present The following list is a record of exhibitions held at The Photographers' Gallery, London since its opening in January 1971. Exhibitions and a selection of other activities and events organised by the Print Sales, the Education Department and the Digital Programme (including the Media Wall) are listed. Please note: The archive collection is continually being catalogued and new material is discovered. This list will be updated intermittently to reflect this. It is for this reason that some exhibitions have more detail than others. Exhibitions listed as archival may contain uncredited worKs and artists. With this in mind, please be aware of the following when using the list for research purposes: – Foyer exhibitions were usually mounted last minute, and therefore there are no complete records of these brief exhibitions, where records exist they have been included in this list – The Bookstall Gallery was a small space in the bookshop, it went on to become the Print Room, and is also listed as Print Room Sales – VideoSpin was a brief series of worKs by video artists exhibited in the bookshop beginning in December 1999 – Gaps in exhibitions coincide with building and development worKs – Where beginning and end dates are the same, the exact dates have yet to be confirmed as the information is not currently available For complete accuracy, information should be verified against primary source documents in the Archive at the Photographers' Gallery.

A few months later, SMG announced its plans to give a significant part of the photography collection held at the National Science and Media Museum – one of the four institutions for which the umbrella group is responsible – to the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. What has proved to be a controversial decision will see 400,000 objects, originally the collection of the Royal Photographic Society, and now categorised as ‘art photography’, relocated from Bradford to London (‘National Media Museum invest in science and technology’, 2016). The news came as a particular surprise given the enthusiasm for (art) photography SMG had displayed as recently as September 2013, when – with significant financial backing from Sir Richard Branson and film producer Michael Wilson, among others – Media Space opened at the Science Museum with the express purpose of showcasing Bradford’s impressive photography holdings (‘Media Space – Major new Photography and Art Gallery’, 2013). The unfolding news about Bradford ensured that when the conference took place at the end of March 2016, the panel in which I participated spoke not only of photography, but also to its wider social, economic and institutional contexts.

    Skirts 2011 Exhibited: • Les Recontres, D’Arles, France, 2013 • Sleight, Brancolini Grimaldi, London, UK, 2011 • Paris Photo, Paris, France, 2011 One of art’s distinctions is to provide maximum emotion using minimum means. Something in which photography excels. And when the photo in question shows nothing, Hidden under next to nothing, When it keeps your eyes and your mind so constantly focused, then you feel you are nearing the goal. The sheer magic of the lightning transition from two dimensions to n dimensions without even considering three dimensions. This chasm opened before me, quite by chance, without even trying, when confronted with some small photos. Small tables covered with small skirts. Hung on my wall, these temples force me to believe. In what, I don’t want to know, but certainly in Clare Strand.

    Marina PINSKY: (projected 18th / 19 votes) 303 Gallery February 22 – March 31, 2018 http://www.303gallery.com/gallery-exhibitions/marina-pinsky/press-release 303 Gallery is pleased to present our first exhibition of new works by Marina Pinsky. The Moscow-born, Berlin and Brussels-based artist examines the modes in which we read images as material, spatial, and ideological models of the world. Moving between photographic and sculptural works, Pinsky utilizes oblique symbols to invoke potent invisible histories. Comprised of analog black-and-white photographs and a constellation of newly developed sculptures, the exhibition proposes a consideration of the origins of New York in its pre-urban settlement. An interpretive sculptural model of the Wyckoff House is hand-made in unglazed ceramic. This house, the oldest in New York, was built in 1638 and occupied by Pieter Wyckoff. It is located in what is now the Canarsie area of Brooklyn, situated on land that the Dutch West India Company purchased from the local Lenape tribe to form part of the New Nederland colony in 1636. Pinsky’s model is pulled together with ratchet straps so that the structure becomes a whole only by the force of tension, creating a type of physicality borne of allegory. The exhibition's photographs are drawings of pine trees, taken from early American colonial flags first appearing in the 1600s in New England. These small images are created without negatives using direct positive black-and- white paper, and appear as mirror images of the traditional analog enlargements facing them. Besides its colonial origin, this pine tree insignia was adopted in 1913 as the symbol of the New York Armory Show.

  • PRESS RELEASE Getting Better and Worse at the Same
    PRESS RELEASE Getting Better and Worse at the Same Time New work by Clare Strand 29 April –6 June 2015 Private view: Tuesday 28 April 2015 6 – 8 pm Pre-The Entropy Machine archive image ‘Getting Better and Worse at the Same Time is an exhibition of balanced opposites; better and worse, backwards and forwards , up and down and in and out.’ Clare Strand Getting Better and Worse at the Same Time is an exhibition of new work by British artist Clare Strand. The exhibition will employ kinetic machines, film and photography to reveal Strand’s discordant relationship with the photographic medium, exploring its promise and limitations through unexpected and eccentric means. The Happenstance Generator is a large Perspex chamber on a metal plinth. Inside the chamber a selection of the artist’s archives of research images from the past 30 years, will be blown about by hidden fans. The machine will randomly propel images towards the transparent surfaces of the chamber, before being repositioned again by the movement of the air. The images will be highlighted for one moment and disappear the next; much in the way that data and image sequences appear and disappear, grow and diminish in importance, in the constantly changing landscape of everyday visual encounters. The Entropy Pendulum will have a selected photographic print positioned under its constantly swinging weight. As the pendulum arm swings back and forth, it will rub against the work and over the course of a day will gradually erase parts of the image. Each day throughout the exhibition, a photograph will take its place under the weight of the pendulum, gradually filling up the 35 empty frames on the gallery wall.
