Maisie Cousins
grass, peonie, bum

Private View of the first solo show of young British photographer Maisie Cousins. Compelling images of the female body, her approach is hedonistic and performative as she explores topics such as sensuality, indulgence and body image. Maisie’s work comes from a desire to see femininity and sexuality in a positive and open way. 

WEBBER GALLERY SPACE
Thomas Albdorf
General View

Private View of solo show by Thomas Albdorf, winner of this year’s ING Award. There will also be a booksigning of the new publication with the artist at 8.30pm. Inspired by photographs of Yosemite National Park, the work toys with the question regarding the necessity of traveling to a place that has been photographed innumerable times, the need to record additional photographs.

THE FITZROVIA CHAPEL
Tomohiro Muda
Icons of Time

Private View of Japanese photorgapher Tomohiro Muda’s exhibition Icons of Time - Memories of the Tsunami, a photographic record of artefacts left behind in the wake of the tsunami.  The Fitzrovia Chapel has an evocative history as the chapel for the old Middlesex Hospital. Today it is open once again to the community and will provide a beautifully reflective and thought-provoking setting for the exhibition.
