Richard Billingham’s refreshingly direct pictures of family life stunned the artworld when first exhibited in the 1990s. We re-visit these iconic photographs, now shown alongside videos from the same era.
About
Come along and celebrate Art Exchange’s latest exhibition, Richard Billingham’s ‘Order out of chaos’.
A high rise council flat in the Midlands in England. A family: father Ray, mother Liz, brother Jason and some animals. The father drinks a lot, the plays around a bit, the mother just about holds things together. We re-unite photographs from the iconic Ray’s a Laugh series with hi-8 footage shot in the family flat at the same time, including Fishtank, a 50 minute film, originally shown on TV.
All welcome!
This exhibition has been made possible by the support of Anthony Reynolds Gallery, Arts Council Collection and Artangel.
