Andrew Freeland | Wind
Opening Reception: Friday 28th July, 7pm to 9pm
The act of strolling is the role that the flânuer holds within the world. While remaining hidden, lost among the crowd. During the act of strolling the flânuer accumulates knowledge of the urban space.
A Photograph taken within the confines of the street reflects the feelings from the photographer. So an unintentional self-portrait can be created and hidden within the imagery.
Wind
Wind is a Photographic Exhibition that will open from 24th July to 6th August. The artist Andrew Freeland is an IADT Graduate, former Staff Artist at Signal and is a local Wicklow Artist. The underlying element for the exhibition will be exploring the flaneur of street photography and other new elements. Andrew invites you to critic and enjoy his work while it is being hosted by the Signal Arts Centre.
“Freeland’s montage of street photographs had a terrific, gritty, open-ended narrative quality. Working in Dublin and Paris, he became a flâneur, absorbing and capturing the energy, drift and flow of urban life and character.” (Aidan Dunne, The Irish Times)
Overview
When you start a project that has elements of new and old work, certain questions you must ask. How it is different from before and how it is the same? Andrew’s show will have three different elements. The Imagery still retains traditional elements of street photography as a flaneur and moves into more colourful burnt and overexposed images and some new imagery. His showcase will also include a series of photographic books.
