as you like it
an
international photo exhibition
featuring guest curators
Farhad
Bahram – Nóra Barabás – Isabelle Thibeault-Jolin
“as
you like it” is the fifth photographic exhibition organised in Abertillery,
Wales by the*kickplate*project. For this exhibition, apart from choosing photographs
ourselves, we have also asked a group of international artists to select works
for us to show in the gallery. Each artist has been given the opportunity to
choose photographers and images to present on their own section of wall – our
hope is to create 5 single exhibitions that add up to 1 featuring 10
photographers in all.
We
have chosen artists Farhad Bahram (Iran), Nóra Barabás (Hungary) and Isabelle
Thibeault-Jolin (Canada) to accompany us, the*kickplate*project (Zosia
Krasnowolska - Poland and Dafydd Williams - Wales) because we thought it was a
great way to discover and feature artists that we haven’t known or shown before
and present them to our audience.
It’s
an attempt to create a global exhibition that will show local people visiting
our gallery what artists, in a wide variety of countries, are looking at and
liking - so that they can feel part of an international art scene that may
otherwise seem distant and hard to access, especially at a time when travelling
is becoming harder due to tough economic circumstances.
