Vanessa Winship — And Time Folds
Saison “The Art of Change”
Barbican Art Gallery – London (UK)
From the 22nd of June to the 2nd of September 2018
Barbican Art Gallery is proud to present the first major UK solo exhibition of British contemporary photographer Vanessa Winship.
The recipient of the prestigious Henri Cartier- Bresson Award in 2011, Winship’s poetic gaze explores the fragile nature of our landscape and society, how memory leaves its mark on our collective and individual histories.
Winship’s oeuvre captures the ‘transition between myth and the individual’, revealing deeply intimate photographs that often appear to avoid specific contexts or any immediate political significance.
The exhibition brings together an outstanding selection of more than 150 photographs, many of which have never been seen before in the UK, as well as a collection of unseen archival material.
Vanessa Winship: And Time Folds is part of the Barbican’s 2018 season, The Art of Change, which explores how the arts respond to, reflect and potentially effect change in the social and political landscape.
