We want to welcome all of those who have been involved with LAPC over the years to celebrate with us as we mark 10 years of promoting and supporting the creative possibilities of analogue and experimental photography.
Location: SET Kensington, 7-17 Ansdell St, London, W8 5BN
We invite you bring along an alternative processes self-portrait to exhibit in the space as well as any beverages you wish to enjoy.
We will hear from 3 artists over the course of the evening:
Sayako Sugawara, Sayako Sugawara is a London based Japanese artist working with photography, moving image and installation. Born in Milan, she completed both her BFA and MFA at Tama Art University, Tokyo, Japan, followed by MA Photography at UAL London.
Using various photographic processes and the cognitive associations that occur in the physical aspect of creative development, her work explores notions of memory and imagination, analysis and poetics, stillness and movement.
Sayako has exhibited internationally (BE, CH,CN, DE, ES, JP, NL) in both solo and group shows; most recently a solo show at Ibasho Gallery, Antwerp, BE and had works included in the London Alternative Photography Collective group show Beyond Silver.
Soham Joshi, is an Indian visual artist living in Brighton, UK. He uses cameraless and alternative photographic techniques to explore urbanity and identity. His research relates materiality in photography to how we situate ourselves within the urban landscape.
Sophie Bryer, is a transdisciplinary, conceptual artist exploring the relationship of art with science through an autoethnographic approach. With a background in philosophy, she redefines portraiture and identity through the examination of their negative space – delving into the influence of one’s environment, the enduring impact we have on others and in our creations, and the remnants and emotional resonance that persist in our absence. Inspired by post-structuralist constructivism, Sophie abstracts and investigates themes of memory and legacy with materiality – creating installation works which integrate photography, etching, and sculpture of steel and thread.
We look forward to celebrating and reflecting back over the past 10 years with you all!
