“Just press the button and we’ll take care of the rest”, Kodak used to say some time ago. Is this the meaning of photography? Partly, but not only. Photography as a dispenser of images is everywhere: on the bus, on the walls, in magazines, on our food, etc., and we’re so used to it that we underestimate its communicative value.
Born as a “poor art”, photography is now one of the most important means of expression in contemporary art, alongside painting, sculpture and architecture.
From Warhol’s symbol-narrative photography to Sherman’s conceptual photography and virtual and digital images, photography has taken on a variety of different forms: in size, printing technique, in single or limited edition prints.
This is where LONDON GROUP SHOW comes in.
