Showing at Friese Greene Gallery.

Artists: Ignacio Acosta, John Angerson, Clive Egginton, Casey Orr, Corinne Silva

Coded A photographic exploration of political landscapes Coded is about finding new ways to look at an age of displacement, from the obsession with buying up easy-build dream-homes in Spanish deserts to South London’s soulless government immigration buildings. From the women who have left distant homes and families to settle in post-industrial northern England to the underpasses and city-centre steps where the homeless sleep rough; and to the photographic journey into a present-day Northern Ireland coming to terms with its recent past.

Five photographers present an exhibition exploring the coded landscapes that form a backdrop for abandonment, migration and war.

Spectre



10th - 20th Oct // Daily // 10am - 5.30pm
Showing at Friese Greene Gallery.

Spectre During the second week of the Fringe Photography Festival, a diversity of emerging practices is presented within the shared context of the Spectre. Subjects explored include the beautiful yet haunting local suicide landscape of Beachy Head, the social impact of online virtual escape worlds, the effects of depression on perception, undercover cold war archaeology, urban no-go areas and photography’s more conceptual relationship with death and the ghost.

Showing at Friese Greene Gallery.

Artists: Ben Absalom, Sam Bardsley, Sam Burrows, Jenny Ekholm, Alex Gregory, Paul Kusserow, Laura Pannack, Claire Pepper, Madeleine Wilson, Emma Wright

Bystander 'New Documentary' is a showcase of new works from a collective of international artists, whom for three years have contributed to an annual publication titled ‘Bystander’.

The exhibition coincides with the release of the group’s third publication.


Issues of identity, nationality, and the experiential help formulate personal concepts which expand to become analysis for diverse cultural histories, thus creating a new breed of image; connected to both recording and aesthetically expressing, referring and reflecting reality.

31st Oct - 16th Nov // Mon - Fri // 10.00am - 6.00pm // Sat - Sun // 11am - 6pm
Showing at Friese Greene Gallery.

Artists: Veronique Besnard, Moira Blackwell, Lorenza Ippolito, Simon Sandys, Mark Smith, Laura Stevens, Nicky Walsh

Battleground 'Battleground' forms the context within which the group ‘Light Motives’ looks at the nature of conflict in its sociological, cultural, philosophic and historical framework.

Each photographer responds individually to the Biennial’s theme, "Memory of Fire - The War of Images and the Images of War."


At the same time a unique vision emerges from the jointly conceived theme. Work ranges from images of exiled Tibetan nuns to fortified English landscapes.
