TASCHEN and Humble Arts Foundation are pleased to present Women in Art Photography U.K., curated by Jon Feinstein and amani olu. Similar to its American counterpart, this exhibition attempts to avoid a decidedly “female” voice and instead presents the work of a stylistic variety of women photographers based in the U.K. The photographs in this exhibition transcend rigid categorical distinctions, and can easily fall across multiple genres within art photography. This ranges from constructed studio works to pictures that explore or comment on traditional notions of portraiture, still life, and landscape photography. Agata Madejska transforms everyday playgrounds into jarring, outer space sculptures, Laura Pannack transcends preconceived notions of youth culture in her tense, uncomfortable portraits of adolescents, and Sarah Pickering’s images of controlled test explosions explore the vulnerability of everyday life during wartime, and the construction of military preparedness. By placing a variety of styles and influences in the same context, the curators encourage viewers to draw abstract relationships between the works and challenge their own notions of what it means to photograph as a woman in the contemporary landscape.
