Join members of the London Alternative Collective from the Unstable/Sustainable exhibition who will be reflecting on their individual practices.
Unstable/Sustainable is a re-invented exhibition. It was originally staged at FORMAT by the London Alternative Photography Collective in 2015. This earlier exhibition included a number of photographic works, which gradually changed chemically during the course of the exhibition.
For the 2021 edition of Unstable at FORMAT Festival, all exhibited works will be produced using sustainable photographic processes. Within the LAPC’s Sustainable Darkroom research project, we have been working with a number of ephemeral photography processes which are notoriously difficult to fix.
Photography has a fixation with permanence, which doesn’t exist to the same degree within other art forms. Now that photography is becoming more of an interdisciplinary field, is it always necessary to stabilise our images? In this new era of biodegradable materials, is it not more sensible to create work that can be recycled?
Within this seminar, exhibiting artists Noemi Filetti, Chloe Obermeyer and Ryan Moule present artist talks, reflecting on their individual practices. The seminar will be chaired by London Alternative Photography Collective Founder and Co-Director Melanie King.
This event will be held on Zoom. The link to join will be sent out to all registered attendees before the event.
