Victoria and Albert Museum, Camera-less Photography

As part of the Victoria and Albert Museum's exhibition on camera-less photography Shadowcatchers, a piece by Nick entitled Puffa Jacket is displayed in the photography gallery alongside representative works which demonstrate key works in the history of the medium. 

Since the inception of photography, artists and image-makers have experimented with photograms, chemical, plate and film manipulations and the Shadowcatchers main exhibit celebrates five contemporary exponents, each whose work is unique in its own right. The five artists are: Floris Neusüss (b. 1937), Pierre Cordier(b. 1933), Garry Fabian Miller (b. 1957), Susan Derges (b.1955) and Adam Fuss (b. 1961). Puffa Jacket is aside from the main exhibit which is mounted adjacent to the main entrance hall. If you seek out room 38a on the ground floor the piece is exhibited as the most recent example of British contemporary, camera-less photography.

The team at Radar Studio enjoyed a day out to the V&A, where they enjoyed the Shadowcatchers exhibit as well as the satisfaction of seeing the Puffa Jacket piece mounted and displayed alongside other fascinating works.

Shadowcatchers will be running at the Victoria and Albert Museum until the 20th of February 2011. 

Art with Swiss Precision

You can see the healthy turnout and audience reaction to the arrival of X-ray art pieces at Dubinsky Fine Arts in Zurich. Thomas Dubinsky had meticulously planned a fine display of Veasey originals and much appreciation, wonder and discussion was generated by the works exhibited. The setting was perfect and anyone looking for a rewarding experience of thought-provoking X-ray studies should waste no time and proceed directly to Dubinsky Fine Arts.

Ich bin ein Berliner

Here are a few pictures from the evening of the private view of the exhibition at 21galleries in Berlin. A number of media outlets covered the exhibition and you can see a feature here. The Berlin public have been flocking to the exhibition which is being run in collaboration with Udo Walz until July the 31st. You can see it at:

Berlin Bound

We have just carefully loaded a consignment of the X-ray diasecs - or should that be Roentgen diasecs - for shipping to the amazing city of Berlin where they will be exhibited at 21galleries in Charlottenberg.  

There are a number of marine and oceanic images that were presented in editions in the  exhibition at Knokke in Belgium and were such a hit by the seaside there as well as award-winning editions such as Kylie's Knickers and the A0 edition of the Mini which is represented on the poster announcing the exhibition.

The show X-ray -  Die Schönheit des Verborgenen begins on the 27th of May and runs right through until the end of July at 21galleries by Udo Walz, Fasanenstrasse 37, 10719 Berlin.

Ola Señor and Howdy Partner...

I am a tired yet largely contented man. Largely contented because I am cursing the volcanic belchings of that unpronounceable slice of Iceland that has kept me grounded in the USA for most of the last three days. I had been in the amazing state of New Mexico, opening an exhibition, Nick Veasey: X-ray at the Klaudia Marr Gallery in Santa Fe and I had a very enjoyable time learning about the art scene in the city which is apparently a major destination for international collectors and tourists with a passion for art.

Santa Fe is a relatively small city but it has a rich heritage in American arts and culture. The most notable artist that is associated with the city is Georgia O'Keefe and the Klaudia Marr Gallery nestles in Johnson Street right next to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. I took some time to study the works in their natural setting and I was actually surprised with the parallels between my X-ray work and the fantastic paintings of O'Keefe. I loved her studies of plants, flowers and botanical forms; subjects which I have been exploring with my X-ray machines for years.  It was astonishing to juxtapose O'Keefe's study of an Iris with my own X-ray Solo Iris or even her painting of a Rams Head which I had paralleled in my own work several years ago. One of the most striking things about her work is the adventurous use of bold colour and as my X-rays are developed from monochrome originals I am thinking of producing some colouring experiments when it comes to applying tones in the computer. O'Keefe has definitely been an inspiration.

My thanks to Klaudia Marr for mounting a very interesting exhibit which runs until the 7th of June at 229 Johnson St, Santa Fe, NM.
 

The exhibit in Santa Fe came hot on the heels of a very exciting gallery show at Galeria Tagomago in Barcelona. I was overwhelmed by the interest in my work and I welcomed the many questions and the curiosity that the pictures seemed to generate. The launch was great and my hosts Vincenc and Valerie were generous and well-organised to a fault. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of Spanish media outlets that came to observe the exhibition and ask me questions about my work and the process behind the artworks. I ended up conducting interviews with well over a dozen journalists and publications which was excellently coordinated by Galeria Tagomago - thanks guys!

You can see that I got involved  with the mounting of the X-rays and the Mini car, which is huge looks fantastic on the wall of the gallery allowing a lot of natural light to fall on the pictures and reveal them in their full glory. The exhibition at Galeria Tagomago runs until the 12th of June.
