InCamera: Exhibition

InCamera: Nation

Bank St Arts, Sheffield 07/12/2010 - 18/12/2010

There is a fantastic eclectic collection of exhibitions showing at Bank St arts at the moment - well worth seeing! But the one I suspect you will be most interested in is the one above; some great photography by local photographers, and interestingly the show is viewed via a television screen.

Motherland

Motherland - Simon Roberts
11th May - 9th June 2010

Bank Street Arts

“I hope Motherland may be read as a footnote to the current debate about Russian identity during a time of major geo-political, economic and social change. Ultimately these images are a celebration of Russia, aiming to deepen our understanding of a country and its people.”

Simon Roberts

Motherland is the first major works by the award winning and election artist Simon Roberts. The work is a result of Simons' travel through Russia between July 2004 and August 2005 and is in one of the most extensive photographic accounts of this vast country by a Westerner. Consisting of intimate and revealing portraits of contemporary Russians, introduce us to these diverse people, united by a sense of common identity, while breathtaking landscapes reveal the complexity and uniqueness of the country.

The show consisting of 14 large scale frames of Simon's journey through Russia, runs until the 9th of June.

Threesomes & Triptych

Bank Street Arts has opened up submissions for the second installment of its 'In Camera' photography exhibition series. And you're invited to contribute.

The Theme: Threesomes & Triptych

For this installment Threesomes & Triptych is both the theme and presentation method.

So get submitting your images in groups of 3, and you can submit as many as you like.

We're not looking for composites and stuck together images, just single images which work together.

Or alternatively you can submit single images which may be grouped with other singles by the curators ;)
