Exercise 5.4: Online exhibitions.
What a pity that the Jesse Alexander, Motorway and Foto8 links failed to work.
I have not added any comment to the post but place my thoughts here.
The exhibition is interesting only in how stuck in a rut American photography appears to be. It contained no image that had not been seen before, and had it come to the UK I would have spent little time in the gallery.
The presentation had a strange effect in that it forced me to ponder images that held little interest but at the same time allowed no additional time to study those that I would have enjoyed more time with. The lack if narrative and direction did not help.
The Bongo Fever show was far more compelling being both depressing and frightening by turns. Such glimpses into Africa in its post colonial collapse
is seldom permitted. This format drove home the message in a most forceful way.
With three of the slide presentations not working it is not possible to draw any conclusions on what may have been good work.
