PAST EXHIBITIONS
Henry MacKeith
3rd - 6th September 2009
Portraits of Cultural Events: Paintings, drawings and photographs of places and events of significance, including the G20 protests at Bank.
These paintings and photographs have been created during H.M.'s participation in actions and political gatherings such as the G20 at bank, and the Climate Camp in Blackheath, 2009. The photographs have been exposed using a tent pin hole camera technique.
A time where media are grossly selective, where and photographing police officers is criminalised, leans itself to the re-discovery of impressionist agendas and techniques. The paintings and photographs of H.M. re-contextualise what was public spectacles into a private view (but outside the salon).
As part of Time Out First Thursdays, in cooperation with the Whitechapel Gallery.
