London exhibition is curated by Sara Haq
A remarkable network of 6 curators in 6 cities have
explored the potential of curating entirely through the internet;
one exhibition of 600 city-images by 60 individuals - artists, photographers,
architects and graphic designers, who they have invited to participate.
The full set of 600 (black and white) digital images is reproduced
by each city and exhibited in each city simultaneously.
"The Old Cemetery is a quiet
haven for wild flowers and a good place to find butterflies on sunny
days', series of 10 photographs.
Since stumbling upon a curious statue of an angel worrier,
squeezed between an early 1900 building and the 70's socialist building,
in Belgrade last year, I have been on the look out for abandoned
statues. These abandonded warriors, scattered like old road signs,
spoke to me of passing of time, transience of values and beliefs
we hold on to, die for and who with us turn into ashes. The Old
Cemetery, is a completely abandoned cemetery in Barnes, London,
and I was struck by the care that went in creating and erecting
the angel statues, which now lay headless and forgotten. The title
is borrowed from the local information board's rather curious description
of the cemetary.
