A Handful of Dust: Photography after Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp
Closing soon.
Free admission.
A Handful of Dust takes Man Ray’s 1920 Dust Breeding (Élevage de poussière) from 1920 as a starting point. That photograph was a capture of a sheet of glass gathering dust in Marcel Duchamp’s Manhattan studio. Duchamp had let the left glass to gather dust during one stage of the long process of producing his work. Ray noticed how the surface of the glass “appeared like some strange landscape from a bird’s eye view” viewed through the camera lens. The title ‘A Handful of Dust’ is though to come from the T.S. Elliot poem ‘The Waste Land‘ which was first published in the same month as the photography.
A Handful of Dust draws on work Walker Evan and Nick Wapplington to plot a visual journey through the 20th century. The curator, inspired by Man Ray’s photograph has built a collection of aerial photography cataloguing wartime destruction, natural disasters and urban decay.

Eadweard Muybridge: Animal Locomotion
Closing soon.
Free admission.
Eadweard Muybridge is probably best known for his use of photography in scientific studies. He only picked up photography while recuperating from an accident which left him with serious head injuries. Muybridge’s techniques and experience gained during this period were invaluable when he was called upon to provide a definitive answer to the question of ‘Does a horse always have at least one hoof in contact with the ground at while galloping?’. This is something too quick to be observed with the naked human eye. Consequently Muybridge showed, through his photography, that there is in fact a short period when the horse has no hooves in contact with the ground.
Animal Locomotion at Beetles+Huxley is a large-scale exhibition featuring over sixty collotype prints made by the British photographer. The prints date back to 1887, when photography was in its infancy.
Beetles+Huxley is just off Piccadilly, not far from Fortnum & Mason or the Royal Academy of Arts and a short walk from Regent’s Street.
Closing soon.
Free admission.
Where: Beetles+Huxley.
Ends: Saturday, 2nd September.

Murray Fredericks: Salt: Vanity
Closing soon.
Free admission.
Murray Fredericks is self-taught as a photographer, though he did later study Fine Arts. Initially, he read politics in his native Australia and later travelled to the Middle East. While in the region he found inspiration which influenced his approach to photography. Fredericks style is probably best described as atmospheric: his work evokes a sense of ‘awe of nature’. In this series, minimalistic, balanced landscapes are complemented with a mirror which manages to establish absence of harmony with the landscape despite disturbing it.
Murray describes ‘Salt’ in this rather more insight than my written description:
