Some Good Online Photography Art Exhibitions on Now

Here is our updated list of some online photography art exhibitions worth seeing online now in light of the pandemic. With galleries reopening, we have also just updated the London Photography Exhibitions list of ten exhibitions you can visit.

I hope at least one, but hopefully more, of the exhibitions in the list will suit your own tastes. Also that you are able to discover something new to you. I will be back soon with another post on exhibitions we can expect later this year. Do get in touch if you have seen some interesting exhibitions online worth including in a post update. My twitter handle is @jfFrankFoto. Please stay safe until the next time!

This is a special post during the lock down, normally we post on art photography exhibitions worth visiting in person. Look out for such posts as the current situation changes.

Breaking Barriers

Breaking Barriers follows the first part of a three-year Black Cultural Archives project, started last year. That project — Stories of Black Leadership — above all, highlights the excellence present in Britain’s Black community. This online exhibit features portraits of pioneering Black British women. Black photographer, Joy Gregory, captured the five portraits. Alongside the photographs of the five women, who include Dame Linda Dobbs DBE together with Baroness Doreen Lawrence OBE, are written profiles and audio recordings. The other three black women featured are Maggie Alderin-Pocock MBE and Margaret Casley-Hayforn CBE as well as Shirley Thompson OBE.

Black Cultural Archives is on Windrush Square in Brixton although it is currently closed as the spaces are made Covid Secure.

Unquiet Moments: Capturing the Everyday

Unquiet Moments captures small wonders as well as disappointments through the medium of the everyday objects. This online exhibition hosted by the Courtauld Institute of Art is split into three rooms. These are Visual Diaries and Family Albums and Community Portraits. Finally the last room is Traces of Loss. Undeniably, with the lockdown fresh in memory, the images carry some poignancy.

James Barnor: Ever Young

Rather than an online exhibition this is a free downloadable newspaper from Autograph ABP, showcasing James Barnor’s work. You do not need to enter any personal details to download the PDF. The newspaper is published to celebrate the Ghanian photographer’s 91st birthday. It reflects on how over his six-decade career he mirrored the transition in Ghana to a cosmopolitan, multicultural metropolis. As well as work from Ghana, you can see work made after his move to London in the 1960s. Included is a capture of none less than Mohammad Ali training at Earls Court in London.

Sohei Nishino

Even so far back as 2011, Sohei Nishino was recognised as a rising gem of Japanese photography. He is especially well known for his epic work. As an example he took 10,000 photographs for a work shown at Michael Hoppen gallery in 2011. From those captured, 4,000 were hand-printed and composited into an huge photographic map. This latest Michael Hoppen exhibition presents Nishino’s new work as well as early Diorama maps.

The Michael Hoppen Gallery is in Chelsea, West London. They are renowned for nurturing new and interesting artists. The gallery represents various genres, for example, a recent exhibition featured work by British fashion photographer Tim Walker.

Lorna Simpson: Give me some Moments

Lorna Simpson is certainly towards the top of the list of America’s most defiant conceptual artists. Her refined and impassioned work resulted in Vogue identifying her as one of the most compelling photography-based artists. Her work poses questions on representing identity, gender and race; equally important topics currently at the fore. In light of this, Give me some Moments is a series of collages, splicing architectural features with animals and natural elements. The work is a reflection on the fragmentation present in modern society.

Although founded in Switzerland, Hauser and Wirth have galleries in both both urban and rural settings around the globe. They have built a reputation for dedication to artists and supporting of visionary artistic projects.
