THE WAPPING PROJECT BANKSIDE AT PHOTO LONDON (BOOTH B10)

21 – 24 May 2015

The Wapping Project Bankside is pleased to announce its participation in Photo London and will be showing works by Elina Brotherus, Lydia Goldblatt, Alexander Gronsky, Jacqueline Hassink, Abbas Kowsari, Juul Kraijer, Edgar Martins, Stephen J Morgan, Jeffrey Stockbridge, Mitra Tabrizian, and Thomas Zanon-Larcher.

The Wapping Project Bankside will be showing a carefully curated booth that showcases the diversity of its stable of international artists. By grouping these photographers together the gallery does not wish to assimilate their varied concerns and practices into a single narrative, but instead wishes to make evident the interesting dialogue that can be achieved when seemingly disparate works are brought together.

Included in the display will be works by Jeffrey Stockbridge who will be showing Tic Tac and Tootsie from his Kensington Blues series that was shortlisted for the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize in 2013; Elina Brotherus will be showing work from the Suite Français series and both Jacqueline Hassink and Alexander Gronsky explore the boundaries between private and public space, man-made and nature – Hassink with her series View Kyoto and Gronsky with his series Pastoral that looks at the border spaces that surrounds Moscow. Mitra Tabrizian and Abbas Kowsari challenges our perceptions of Middle Eastern identity and the role of the female. The gallery will be also be showing key works from Edgar Martins’ The Rehearsal of Space and the Poetic Impossibility to Manage the Infinite series, Thomas Zanon-Larcher’s Nora series as well as work by Lydia Goldblatt that looks at age and familial relationships with tenderness; Juul Kraijer explores the tropes of portraiture and Stephen J Morgan explores themes of memory and loss in his work, Where My Grandfather Drank.
