CCA Gallery – Hill St
The CCA had an exhibition on musical links to photography, for example to top two images here are Biffy Clyro album covers. I really liked the bottom left image, it goes well with my circles topic but also it is very eye catching and well constructed.
Private Public Gallery
This was my first time to the Private Public gallery and I noticed that the work seemed more contemporary than the CCA’s. It was mostly art rather than photography but there were photographs around, whether they be manipulated physically or digitally. One image that interested me was the bottom left about Lily Langtree. Lily was a model/actress in the late 1800’s to early 1900’s from Jersey. She had a global fan base and this image was supposed to be the draft print for a postcard but it was so good that hey kept it. The artist has blown it up and digitally manipulated it slightly and printed it. The image on the top right was pop art and is of a woman who was a boxer or wrestler (something like that) and was able to easily beat men at their own game. The image is aimed to represent women as strong and able to be better than men at things women are stereotyped not to be able to do.
