A discussion chaired by Zelda Cheatle with Chris Littlewood, Director of Photography at Flowers Gallery, and artist Simon Roberts. ‘
Collecting Contemporary Photography’ is the first in a series of Pre-Fair talks to be held in the lead up to our 2016 edition.
This discussion is a unique opportunity to discover more about the role of the artist and dealer in the contemporary photography market. It will be an essential guide to collecting from the perspective of a dealer, curator and an artist and will examine how these roles interact with each other. The panellists will also explore the importance of photography within a collection, and to what extent work is made in view of the commercial art world. This discussion will be ideal for photography enthusiasts and art collectors at all levels.

I have been selected by Stephen Doherty to participate in the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition this November at the Mall Galleries, London.
The Discerning Eye annual exhibition is a show of small works independently selected by six prominent figures from different areas of the art world: two artists, two collectors and two critics. Work is selected from open submission and from artists invited by the individual selectors. Each selector’s section is hung separately giving the impression of six small exhibitions within the whole.
Stephen Doherty is the Director of Visitor Communications for Somerset House in London where he has mounted a variety of free exhibitions. For nearly 20 years he worked for the V&A, where he managed travelling exhibitions and curated fashion performances in the Museum’s galleries.
The 2015 ING Discerning Eye Exhibition will be held at the Mall Galleries, The Mall, London SW1, and will be open to the public daily from Thursday 12 November until Sunday 22 November 2015. Entrance will be free and all works will be for sale.
I will be showing six pieces from my New Vedute series.
Back and Forth is an exhibition of ten artists who have recently passed through the IED Madrid school: five of them as students, the other half, as teachers. It is also a selection of works that reflect the world we live in, from the point of view of contemporary lens-based art. Needless to say that there are common subjects, such as landscapes and still-lives, portraits and street-life. However, all of the participating artists make use of a visual language that combines formal clarity, technical brilliance and a sound understanding of what photography is, or might be, in the second decade of the twenty-first century.
