Dates: 09/07/2010 to 03/09/2010
An exhibition of work by Royal College of Art post Graduates.
Hoopers Gallery 2010 Summer Show exhibits the work
of six graduates selected from this year’s MA Degree
Show at the Royal College of Art. Hoopers Gallery makes
an annual financial award to one of the graduates and
this year the winner is Stuart Bailes.
The RCA’s Photography Department has a fluid
approach to image making. Whether still or moving,
analogue or digital, the photographic image is here a
visual form that aims to be thoughtful as much as
playful; allegorical yet thoroughly visual. In this year’s
work, the very etymology of the photograph – an image
made from light – is embedded: light captured into
slivers and leaking out of the image, light forming
narrative and theatrical spaces, light creating landscapes
made in the studio.
This stunning and original collection of images is
certain to be much enjoyed and admired by visitors
throughout the summer.
Those taking part will be Lauren Winsor, Agata Madejska, Noemie Goudal, Amit Nachumi, Joshua Bilton, and Stuart Bailes.
