Daniel Ali & Rhiannon King

February 12th till March 5th, 2011

Daniel Ali's Fragmented Moments: Forever Memories explores the physical process of seeing in fragments. Daniel plays on the idea that photographs are in themselves fragmented traces of the ‘real’. Daniel captures, either himself or, someone else as they photograph a moment. These captured fragments then become part of his own visual narrative, a narrative that can be altogether different from the original moment.

Rhiannon King's won't take much weight-I'm about to disappear is an exploration of the human body and its relationship to the cultural and social, engaging themes of alienation and fragmentation. Rhiannon's photographic series seeks to elevate the human body as a structural frame of reference, to consider the distinctions between the past as a structure and it's present intimations.

The visuals are punctuated by an enduring glimpse of an event or stage in ones life, of which the surrounding circumstances are not entirely revealed. These occurrences inscribe themselves in the human body, shaping and pervading it. There is a discernible tension created by isolating a particular dramatic moment, and the artist leaves the viewer to interpret the situation being captured.

18th Jan till 6th Feb, 2011

Louise Francis’ installation entitled ‘PEEP’ draws the public into playing out their voyeuristic tendencies. A peephole runs from the glass of the window, accessible to the public, into window99’s studios behind, normally hidden from the public. Through three images in the second window space Francis then plays on the public’s anxieties of being at the receiving end of voyeurism as they are shown images of the outside world taken from within the enclosed studio, reminding us that there are two openings to a peephole.

Georgie Roxby Smith, 'Keep it Real'

The digital age has bred a plethora of persona. keep it real

the intersection between the idealised digital identities and private 

insecurities we project via social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and the virtual world. 

Keep it real manifests these identities through a grotesque distortion 

of the artist's self portrait avartar created in the virtual world of 

Second Life - challenged by real life performance video of the artist desperately trying to imitate her perfect virtual self.

Opening: Friday 10th of December

Exhibition runs till January 2nd, 2011

Another great show has come to an end...
