Steffi Klenz: Street Level Photoworks

Posted by Daylight Books on

Street Level Photoworks presents two exhibitions of work, during the month of February, by Steffi Klenz, one at Street Level Photoworks and the other at the Goethe Institut in Glasgow.

Her series, 'La Posa', will be showing at Goethe Institut until February 26th. This series explores the idea of the house as an architectural and visual metaphor, comprising the idea of home as a point of origin and return. Located in the village of Tyneham in South-West England, which was repossessed by the army and deemed essential for the war effort in 1943, the intellectual roots of the photographic series are within the tradition of ephemeral buildings. The photographic images create a space that disturbs the familiar space of the home and raises the question: If the house has been turned inside out, how can one ever go home?

Her series,'Nummianus', will be showing at Street Level Photoworks until March 28th. The photographic series “Nummianus” critically explores ideas of displacement and the collapse of a sense of rootedness regarding the notion of place. The sequential photographs show boarded up, terraced houses in the Greater Manchester area. Some residents, unable to sell their homes, are forced to remain in the area where they have become subject to a downward spiral of social exclusion. Critically intended, the images comment on the former wealth, diversity and livelihood through the deliberate reference to the city of Pompeii. The title of the show is a direct reference to an inscription found in the remains of a house in that city, and literally translated means coin or money. Through this, Klenz makes an ironic reference to homes as commodities and creates a memorial to the loss of communities.

Sam Falls: Nothing Is Revealed

February 04 - March 06, 2010

Opening Reception: Thursday, February 04, 2010 6 - 8 pm

Higher
Pictures announces the first solo exhibition of the work of Sam Falls.
The exhibition will open on Thursday, February 4th and run through
March 6th, 2010.

Sam Falls is a multi-disciplinary artist who
builds his photographs through a complex process of large format
photography, computer drawing and painting and found material.
Attending carefully to the aesthetics and conceptual meanings of each
piece, Falls' interest is in creating work that is non-serial and
possesses a quality that is inherently timeless. Branching out beyond
the digital photo-collage, Falls' work is poetic, reflectional and
strives for a simplicity deep with intention and humanity, working all
the angles to make art that is dynamic and challenging while also lucid
and available.
