LAPSES IN THINKING BY THE PERSON I AM
5 May – 1 August 2015

Curated by Jamie Stevens

Josephine Pryde presents a new body of commissioned work consisting of a large-scale interactive sculpture and a series of photographs.

Known primarily for her photographic work, Pryde has become a major figure in the recuperation of photography as a key critical discipline in the field of contemporary art. Pryde has developed a singular style of image making that responds to methods and ideas from, amongst other sources, advertising, fashion, and portrait photography. For this exhibition, a suite of photographs depicting hands touching or handing various objects and surfaces is shown alongside a fully functioning ride-on model train.
