Brighton Photo Fringe Open '11

Phoenix, Brighton

Through an international open call Brighton Photo Fringe Open 2011 has brought together a diverse group of curators and artists to explore different perspectives on the critical issues emerging from contemporary photographic practice.

The artists exhibited in the Open 2011 exhibition have been chosen by a curatorial collective, made up of curators, practitioners, gallerists and critics, for the ways in which they explore photographic practice and redefine disciplinary boundaries.

Emerging from curator-artist dialogues and the contributions of a group of selected events curators and guest writers, a series of related events and texts has evolved for both the gallery space and online forums.

The works in the gallery exhibition take inspiration from popular culture, sculpture, archival processes and notions of ritual. Through reflective approaches, references to other cultural disciplines and a sense of humour, the works question the veracity of documentation and transcend assumptions about the medium of photography.

Exhibiting artists; Alexander Nicolas Gehring, Steffi Klenz, Jessica Mallock, Nadege Meriau, Pedro Ramos, Preston is my Paris, Tom Saunderson, Daniel Stier and Casey Wilson.

The Open ‘11 events include artist talks, a live publishing platform, In Conversations, workshops, gallery talks, a lens-based artists programme and projects that generate discussion about the broader context of contemporary photography. All events are free, full details and booking information here. A collection of texts written by a selected group of internationally based curators in response to the artist open call will be available online and from the exhibition library.

The curatorial teams were appointed by mentor Charlotte Cotton, Creative Director of the Media Space (a partnership between the Science Museum and the National Media Museum) and formerly head of programming at the Photographers’ Gallery, London, and Director of Brighton Photo Fringe, Helen Cammock.
