Clare Strand, Gone Astray, 2003

Clare Strand's and John Goto's staged photographs of metropolitan characters and types are accompanied by an essay by Val Williams in which she discusses these 'London Portraits' in the context of literary visions of 19th century London. Paul Seawright was commissioned by the Imperial War Museum to visit Afghanistan in 2002 after much devastation had been inflicted on the country. His responses to the destroyed and heavily mined desert landscapes of Afghanistan extend the aesthetic of his earlier photographic work.

John Goto, The Collector, 2003

Mark Lewis's 35mm films, produced with professional casts and crews, are then transferred to DVD and projected onto white screens for the gallery space, and often accompanied by exhibitions of still photographs.
Mark Durden identifies recurring themes within Lewis's work and the artist's inspiration in painting and structural film-making. In an illuminating essay, Joanna Lowry discusses how artists have used new technologies to extend the time of still photography, whilst artists working within video have been occupied with stillness and inactivity. Stella Santacatterina also explores the concept of time in visual art in a discussion of the work of Douglas Gordon.

Paul Seawright, Mounds, 2002
