Sraunus

About

Sraunus Sraunus is a travelling photography show that originated in Lithuania in 2010. It has been exhibited in seven cities around the world, and will hold its UK première in May 2013 at Diffusion Festival. Sraunus is an evolving slideshow exhibition, with each instalment showing a different selection of over forty young photographic artists. The curated images reflect an emergent trend in post-digital photography: they do not rely on an indexical relationship to reality, nor deal with universal truths. Instead, the photographers follow an experimental path, and come close to a questioning of our visual values. Through a projection and event-led format, Sraunus also invites critical discussion of the changing materiality of the medium and the place of the digital image in the gallery. Sraunus in Cardiff is a collaborative project between curator, Paul Paper and writer, Rowan Lear. For the first time, the photographic work will be shown alongside a projection of writing, which will respond, reflect and unravel the images and ideas contained in Sraunus. 2/5/13 : 6-8pm : Sraunus launch 3/5/13 : 12-5pm : exhibition open 4/5/13 : 12-5pm : exhibition open & 1-2pm : Sraunus In Conversation : curator Paul Paper, writerRowan Lear and photographer Freddy Griffiths will talk about the ideas explored in the exhibition. 5/5/13 : exhibition closed 6/5/13 : 12-5pm : exhibition open
