So! Now that we are nearing April I guess its time to start screaming about the show that myself and John McDougall have been working on putting together for the past few months.
During May 2015 Six Foot Gallery will be hosting it's first ever Month of Photography! Presenting three shows across 4 weeks, SFG aims to bring together a showcase of work from a diverse range of practitioners from across Scotland.
1st // '4/4' // The Forgotten Collective take on the dual roles of photographer and curator as they each invite one photographer to join the group and create 4/4 as part of Six Foot Gallery’s Photo Month. Designed to highlight the individual, but also to celebrate the wider photographic world “4/4’ seeks to understand how the natural comparisons and contrasts found within any group can influence the work of the individual and how the individual can change the face of the group.
11th // 'A GLASS EXPANSE' // A Glass Expanse brings together 10 female photographic graduates from across the discipline who have assembled to create a body of self portraiture work that explores their concerns and subject matter as practitioners and as women. The work aims to create an image of the ‘Female Landscape’ as it is viewed by their lens, an impression from source of what role gender plays in the narrative of these landscapes and the relevance of lense based media as the vehicle for these communications. Curated by Alice Gordon.
21st // SFG OPEN RESIDENCY //
As well as this we also have some absolute gems lined up for an instagram takeover, the launch of and a very special Talk See Photography panel 'Female Landscapes', with Aileen Campbell, Gillian Gilbert, and TalkSee's very own Nina Bacos.
There is also still some time left to apply for the residency, which even provides accommodation for your stay in Glasgow!
Open theme, Open Submission. The opportunity to take part in a month long residency at Six Foot Gallery including workspace within the gallery itself, access to facilities with Street Level Photoworks and accommodation & access to leisure facilities at Menzies Hotel, Glasgow.
