Cameras in the Community
23 October
– 23 December
FOTONOW presents Cameras in the
Community, featuring: Daniel Meadows, Camper Obscura, Laundrette Residencies and
South West Graduate Photography Prize.
FOTONOW is a Plymouth based
photographic arts organisation with a socially-driven agenda. The exhibition at
Plymouth Arts Centre offers four threads, all attached to the notion of
community and contemporary photographic practice.
Camper Obscura is a
fantastic mobile camera obscura sited in a camper van, travelling to residents
around Plymouth, and supported by Devonport Regeneration Community Partnership.
This is inspired by a project undertaken by artist Daniel Meadows in the 1970s,
where he toured the UK in a double decker bus making portraits of the people he
met. This nationally significant work will be presented in the exhibition.
The exhibition also includes documentation of a project commissioned by FOTONOW
in several laundrettes across Plymouth.
Finally FOTONOW will bring
the six graduate artists who exhibited in London as part of the South West
Graduate Photography Prize back to the city.
