Cliché-Verres in Colour
EDEN Gallery, Cumbria
"In her debut solo exhibition at EDEN Gallery, experimental fine artist Charlotte Greenwood presents a selection of pieces from her ongoing series Cliché-Verres in Colour.
Working at the intersection of art and science, Greenwood’s practice combines techniques from painting and photography to explore the inherent unpredictability of nature. In this collection, her technique is based on cliché-verre, exploring fluid dynamics and natural abstraction through cameraless photography to capture macro views of fleeting interactions of matter and movement."
Beyond Silver by the London Alternative Photography Collective
The Hive, Birmingham
"The London Alternative Photography Collective presents Beyond Silver, an exhibition that explores the relationships between analogue photography and metallurgy. The exhibition considers the use of silver in photography while also shining a light on many other metals used in photographic image production, both historically and in contemporary practice. In addition to silver, it includes works that utilise lesser-known metals in photography, including iron, copper, tin, aluminium, platinum, and palladium."
Future Ecologies by the Diatom Collective
Brooklyn, New York
"In a world increasingly manipulated by humans, where the borders between the natural and the artificial dissolve, it is worth asking: What is ecology? Is artificial nature ecological? Is the capitalist system responsible for the current planetary crisis? Is progress possible with capitalism? Is progress possible without capitalism? Can technology assist nature without disrupting it? Are technological advances more the cause or the solution? Is there a way to thread together technology with our ecosystem?
Future Ecologies aims to ask those questions rather than seek definitive answers.
Our exhibition celebrates the interaction of technology, art, sociology, and architecture in relation to ecology."
