Exhibition opening: Close UP
'Close UP' exhibition at Ramp Gallery runs 4-22 August. Curated by Paul McNamara, this touring exhibition features work by photographers Laurence Aberhart, Mark Adams, Wayne Barrar, Joyce Campbell, Ben Cauchi, Darren Glass, Fiona Pardington, Andrew Ross and Haruhiko Sameshima.
Contact prints are generally considered a historic technique, especially prominent in the 19th century, yet many photographers are now using qualities of the contact print as an important part of their practice. Part of a return to traditional processes, contact prints reflect very particular and individualistic concerns, including those which necessitate contemplation and a belief in the unity of technique and expression.
Exhibition opening with wine and finger food.
