Exhibition Dates: Friday 26th July - Sunday 04 August

The London Alternative Photography Collective and Offshoot present an exhibition exploring the relationship between experimental photographic processes and sculpture. Whilst curating this show, we were particularly interested in projects which question the “thingness” of the photograph

This exhibition takes inspiration from Mary Statzer’s “The Photographic Object 1970” published in 2016. This book looks at Peter C Bunnell’s exhibition “Photography into Sculpture”at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This exhibition was then restaged at Hauser & Wirth, New York and Cherry & Martin, Los Angeles between 2011 and 2014. This book looks at how the context of how the concept of the photographic object has changed within a primarily digital era.

The “object-ivity” exhibition focuses on how contemporary artists in the UK, use multi-disciplinary practice to explore the relationship between photography and other mediums.

The exhibition has been curated by Melanie King (Founder, LAPC), Kim Conway (Director, The Darkroom Project, Margate) and Offshoot.

As the London Alternative Photography Collective was founded in July 2013, this exhibition will mark the collectives’ 6th birthday.
