EXPOSED: VOYEURISM, SURVEILLANCE AND THE CAMERA
28 May – 3 October 2010
Exposure presents over two hundred photographic works, from the late
nineteenth century to the present day, offering an illuminating and
provocative perspective on subjects both iconic and taboo.
Images selected are by well-known artists and photo-journalists, as well
as amateur photographers and those using automated technologies such as
CCTV. Among the key issues will be the power struggle between those
with the authority over image production (artists, authors or the state)
and the rights and desires of individuals. This relationship is under
increasing pressure,both from the escalating use of surveillance, and
the advance of small, portable digital cameras in mobile phones.
Includes work by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Walker
Evans, Robert Frank, Nan Goldin, Dorothea Lange, Paul Strand and Garry
Winogrand.
