The exhibition includes some of the most influential and recognised photographers of Latin America as well as some emerging artists. Artist exhibited include Anna Bella Geiger, Enrique Metindes, Andrés Durán and Leonora Vincuña.
Michael Hoppen Gallery opens an exhibition which look at Latin America beyond the polarity of the centre and the periphery.
“A new show chronicles the artists, activist and pranksters who have shaped an entire continent” Guardian.
The Michael Hoppen Gallery is in Chelsea, just off the King’s Road, a short walk from South Kensington tube station or slightly further from Sloane Square. Famously, Michael Hoppen whose passion for photography is partly historical, never thought it would be a business on opening the gallery. 23 years later it is clear he was mistaken!

Closing soon.
Candida Höfer is a former student of Bernd & Hilla Becher and like Andreas Gursky, Thomas Ruff, Thomas Struth, her work is known for technical perfection. Höfer is often described as a photographer of empty space as since the 1980s her lenses focused almost exclusively on meticulously composed uninhabited interiors of public buildings. Her austere, yet opulent, large-format prints of institutional interiors have made her one of the most beloved artists in her native Germany. Candida Höfer has taught as well as produce art: from 1997 to 2000 was a professor at the Hochschule für Gestaltung, Karlsruhe, Germany.
“…it became apparent to me that what people do in these spaces – and what these spaces do to them – is clearer when no one is present, just as an absent guest is often the subject of a conversation.” Candida Höfer

Memory is an exhibition which received critical acclaim at the State Hermitage Museum this summer: “the architecture takes centre stage, losing its attribute of public space, a space created for man, to become an idealised image that could not exist in the public sphere, a world where man has no place”.

Closing soon.

Julia Margaret Cameron: Influence and Intimacy
Free admission.
Julia Margaret Cameron, born in Calcutta in 1815, took up photography on receiving a camera as a gift from her daughter and son-in law, Julia and Charles Norman. For the next eleven years, until her death, she exploded creatively, by the coercive force of her eccentric personality, she made portraits, using family members, servants and local residents as models. Of the camera, Julia Margaret Cameron wrote, “and it has become to me as a living thing, with voice and memory and creative vigour.” Though considered to demonstrate sloppy craftsmanship by contemporaries. She ignored the critics and deliberately used a soft focus and long exposures, instilling an uncommon sense of breath and life in her pictures.
The Media Space at South Kensington’s Science Museum marks Julia Margaret Cameron’s 200th birthday with this exhibition. The centrepiece of the exhibition is the Herschel Album (1864). 94 images which Julia considered to be her finest work.
The Science Museum is on Exhibition Road in South Kensington. Consider stopping for a crêpe on the walk back to South Kensington tube station at Kensington Crêperie after the exhibition.
