Introduce Manuela De Leonardis, al termine della presentazione seguirà il book signing con l’autrice.
Il libro “la Terza Venezia”, nasce a conclusione di una residenza nella città di Venezia. Pensato come un diario onirico, è composto da vedute della città e brevi testi. Le immagini esplorano i luoghi attraverso il filtro dell’immaginazione e del sogno, seguendo una divisione in quattro serie tematiche: “Nautofoni” (immagini della città immersa nella nebbia), “Souvenir” (tipici oggetti-ricordo veneziani ambientati in luoghi anonimi della città); “Fantasmi”(leggende e storie surreali che hanno per soggetto Venezia); e infine “Quando comincia l’acqua” (storie di allagamenti, reali e immaginati, di palazzi e chiese).
Il volume ha una serie, in edizione limitata, di sole 100 copie comprendenti una fotografia originale numerata e firmata dall’artista.
Photographs from Robin Maddock’s latest book ‘God Forgotten Face’ are featured with a double page spread this weeks Sunday Times. Described as ‘a celebration of Plymothians’
Sean O’Hagan reviews Tom Hurndall’s book The Only House Left Standing:
Tom Hurndall was a peace activist and an aspiring photojournalist. His photographs, alongside his journals, bear witness to the often terrible, sometimes uplifting, events he saw and experienced while living among families in Iraq, in a refugee camp in Jordan, and in the Gaza Strip. It was there on 11 April 2003 that he was shot in the head by an Israeli soldier while attempting to rescue a child who had been pinned down by gunfire. He died nine months later in hospital in London. He was 22….
God Forgotten Face by Robin Maddock was picked by Lucy Davies to feature as part of the ‘New photography” article in The Sunday Telegraph’s ‘SEVEN’ magazine. “His images reveal a cast of characters who seem by turns at one with and doing battle with their environment, paying heed to the town’s history as a starting point for mythic journeys, as well as those who stay ‘festering’ behind” Available here.
This major exhibition was the first in-depth survey of art, design and architecture of the 1970s and 1980s, examining one of the most contentious phenomena in recent art and design history: Postmodernism. It showed how postmodernism evolved from a provocative architectural movement in the early 1970s and rapidly went on to influence all areas of popular culture including art, film, music, graphics and fashion.
The show included images of the Buffalo group, who were headed by Ray Petri, and included the original issue of The Face with the iconic cover of a young Felix Howard photographed by Jamie Morgan. The iconic image is also the cover of our book ‘Buffalo Ray Petri‘, which was published in 2000, a beautiful hard-backed retrospective showing the groundbreaking style the group encompassed through their fashion, music and photography.
The exhibition also included the equally iconic (and oh-so relevant to us naturally) trolley chair entitled ‘Consumer’s Rest’ by Frank Schreiner from 1990.
Trolley are proud to feature in December’s edition of our new local paper, the Fitzrovia News. Described by arts writer for the paper and self-confessed ‘Fitzrovia Flaneur’ Clive Jennings as ” A dynamic combination of publishing house and cutting edge contemporary art gallery”, we were also tickled by the question “Could TJ Boulting be Fitzrovia’s answer to Thomas Crapper?” An accolade I’m sure our original landlord would have approved of…
