Exhibition: Collectives Encounter @ Format Festival
January 17th, 2011
Simon will be exhibiting as part of the ‘Human Endeavour’ collective, showing work from the series ‘Degeneration’
“Established in 2004 in Derby UK, FORMAT is one of the UK’s leading international contemporary festivals of photography and related media.”
“FORMAT11′s theme is ‘Right Here, Right Now: Exposures from the public realm’ and is curated around the theme of street photography, examining the relationship that photographers and filmmakers have to it through a wide variety of approaches. The ‘Collectives Encounter 2011’ exhibition’s curator Yasmina Reggad has decided to explore the concept of ‘The Flâneur’. She invited the collectives working with or about photography and related media to look at this theme through the lens of this mobile observer and aesthete that Walter Benjamin presented as a conceptual and analytical tool to think the modern city.”
“The exhibition will showcase 4 new commissioned artworks by ASA & Wideyed, The Photography Collective, Vea-Collective and Rawiya, as well as Human Endeavour’s ‘Degeneration’ series.”
The exhibition will be held at the Royal Insurance Buildings, 2 The Strand, Derby, DE1 1BA
March 4th – April 3rd, 10:00 – 17:30 daily
