In partnership with Andrew Nicholls I curated the exhibition, ‘Divergence: Photographs from Elsewhere’ at the Midland Railway Workshops. FORM welcomes you to Divergence: Photographs from Elsewhere at the historic Midland Railway Workshops.
“This monumental showcaseof contemporary photography, comprising hundreds of images by artists based in fifteen countries, demonstrates FORM’s ongoing engagement with international creative practitioners, and our commitment to developing the Midland Atelier into Western Australia’s
first cross-disciplinary centre for creativity with not only local, but global significance.
This program extends FORM’s recent partnership with FotoFreo and we are delighted to present Divergence: The Photographers’ Cut, a survey of work by some of the world’s most innovative photographers and photojournalists that makes us a significant part of the FotoFreo 2012 Open Exhibition Program. Western Australian audiences can immerse themselves in the atmospheric environment of the Midland Railway Workshops and, at the same time, enter the divergent worlds depicted, from highly stylised portraiture of orphaned children in the Ukraine, to playfully kitsch images of Russia or intimate moments of domestic life in India. FORM particularly invites you to join participating artists from around the world for the Divergence Public Program of artists’ talks, Stories from Elsewhere, taking place on Saturday 17 March: a truly unique opportunity for international exchange and dialogue.” Foreword, Divergence publication
