Notebook 2 at the studio

Last weekend we had another open studio, Notebook 2. I printed up and displayed some of the most recent pictures from my shops project.  Melanie made a number or large prints of portraits she'd taken over the years of her partner Shaun, while Heather printed up a large tripdych of beach/sea pictures and a small one of visually connected singles. Again we had a great turn out at the opening and really interesting responses.

JOINT EXHIBITION AT PHOTO-SPACE IN MARCH

Laura Braun, Heather McDonough, Melanie Stidolph
Curated by Zuzana Flaskova
photo-space
530 Commercial Road, E1 0HY

Friday 5th March - Sat 27th March
Opening night - Thursday 4th March, 6-9pm
Gallery open Tues - Sat, 11am-6pm

Three artists have invited an emerging curator to respond to their work. This exhibition will forefront the curators' choices and reasoning, rather than the artists' individual practice. The photographers are opening up their work, which jointly represents over 50 years production, as a vast image library. This unique show will create imaginary narratives across the artists' practice and reevaluate the work through discovering visual connections and disparities.

Our first open weekend at the studio in November: Notebook 1

The first notebook show was on at our studio from 20 Nov - 22 Nov 2009

Notebook: the process of making. The image in this exhibition are fragments or notations from ongoing or completed projects. This exhibition highlights investigation and discovery, and studies how individually insignificant moments may start to make a complete body of work.

It was a great success for us. Despite the wind and the rain we had a busy opening night and quite a few visitors over the whole weekend. Interesting new links made, ideas shared and even some work sold!

Here are some images from the Saturday afternoon.
