An exhibition is to be held at ‘The Photographer’s Gallery’, Great Newport Street from the 21st June to the 6th July, to mark the launch of “freshfacedandwildeyed08”. This will showcase the best UK photography by recent BA and MA graduates.
The Photographer’s Gallery has always supported emerging photographic talent, through its Graduate Award (1998-2007) which celebrated Photography MA students from the Royal College of Art. The Gallery is responding to the development of photographers and artists who are producing particularly innovative and creative work.
Students are invited to submit up to 8 images of their work to www.photonet.org.uk by the 21st May 2008, and provide details of their course leader for verification of graduation, along with 100 words about their submission.
A panel of experts will judge the online submissions – Melanie Manchot (artist), Sarah Kent (writer), Brett Rogers (Photographer’s Gallery director) and Marta Weiss (Curator of Photographs, V&A). Up to 25 bodies of work will be selected for exhibition at the Gallery, and will be available to view on-line.
“Freshfacedandwildeyed08” demonstrates the Photographer’s Gallery’s commitment to recognising, nurturing and supporting photographic talent in the UK.
