Trick of the Light

22nd -31st July  2011 Marta Bakst, Jyll Bradley, Thom Bridge, Laura Eldret, Nick Kaplony, Nadège Mériau, Helen Pynor, Eva Stenram, Clare Strand, Karen Stripp, Alexa Wright, Renhui Zhao Private View: Thursday 21st July: 6.30 – 9.30 Artists in Dialogue: Saturday 30th July: 3.30-5pm Exhibition Open: Fri-Sun, 12pm – 5pm (or by appointment) Open Late for South London last Friday 29th July 6.30-8.30pm Sponsored by Becks Fusion Trick of The Light is an exhibition of work by artists who use the particularities of the photographic medium to unsettle or confuse the viewer.  It takes its title from a term used to describe the phenomenon where particular environmental conditions lead to the perception of an optical illusion or the seemingly impossible. As something historically used to document reality the photograph has associations of veracity. Well used terms such as ‘photographic evidence’ and the saying ‘the camera never lies’ are testament to this. While the arrival of digital technology and its potential for manipulation has undoubtedly shaken our belief in the photographic image, even since its advent, the medium has been subverted to throw into question established notions of the world around us. Be this through deliberate deception or as a result of misinterpretation due to the ambiguities of the medium.  The artists in this exhibition exploit a broad range of tools available to them, playing with perspective, scale, digital sleight of hand or light itself to engage us by making us question what we see. Core Gallery itself is an artist led space with a dynamic exhibition programme, which offers the opportunity for invited artists and curators to challenge and explore their own practices. Putting the freshest work from both local and international art spheres on public display, Core Gallery intends to develop the strengths of the existing arts sector in Deptford, by expanding its borders and bringing a wealth of talent and diversity to the Deptford scene.

So, www.thombridge.com has had a bit of an overhaul and you can now find some new bits and bobs. The site has a had a bit of a re-design, nothing major,  but now looks and works much better - there's even proper navigation! The site was designed and made by me with help from Theo, who helped me figure out a few odds and ends (thanks Bonzo!).

Enjoy!
