Facing You, photography curatorial project in association with Fringe! - Gay Film Fest April 2012



Facing You brings together five London-based photographers, whose work explores the notion of queer alongside gender in terms of identity and lifestyle, whilst providing a study into the artist and the medium’s role in the representation of any subject’s personal identity. Rather than simply iterating the existence of the sitter or seeking approval from the viewer, these works actively explore the visual language of gender and sexuality and question the nature of its key signifiers and their origins. If gender categories are a construct, what is deemed to be masculine and feminine? Facing You feature’s work by Asa Johannesson, Alex Grace, Christa Holka, Ryan Riddington and Jacob Love. It is curated by Liz Helman and Gemma Rolls-Bentley and can be seen Long White Cloud, 151 Hackney Road, E2 8JL from 13-21 April, 2012.
