A monumental showcase of international contemporary photography from over sixty photographers will be on display at the Midland Railway Workshop from March 15 - April 15th 2012

HEADLINERS! 

The exhibition will be held in the visually stimulating panorama of the Midland Railway Workshop, a large scale industrial and historic site, which provides a stunning backdrop by some of the world’s most renowned photographers.

Headlining the show are leading international Magnum UK Photographer, Martin Parr, Magnum India Photographer, Sohrab Hura and the renowned Ketaki Sheth and Bharat Sikka.

OPEN EXHIBITION PROGRAM: FOTOFREO

 

FORM is partnering with the FotoFreo Open Exhibition Program to present a group show of emerging and avant garde photographers, from the highly stylised portraiture of orphaned children in the Ukraine, to Vita Buivid’s, fun, and playful, kitsch images from Russia, to the intimate lives and moments captured by Chandan Ahuja’s evocative black and white images of domestic life in India.

The PILBARA PROJECT PHOTOGRAPHER'S CUT


Closer to home, The Pilbara Project Photographer’s Cut will present the dramatic photographs captured by a collective of Australia’s most acclaimed photographers during field trips to the North West. Good friends of Fitzies, Tony Hewitt, Les Walkling, Christian Fletcher and Peter Eastway, consider the collision and interconnection of the land, industry and cultures of the Pilbara.

MORE THAN JUST AN EXHIBITION

Photographers will travel internationally to attend the exhibition and exclusive interviews are available.

On March 17th, a comprehensive program of artist talks, presentations, and a special, site specific installation by choreographer and dancer, Jacob Lehrer, will be held at the Midland Railway Workshop. These talks are open to the public and all are welcome to sit in on what will be an informative and insightful day for photographers and visual admirers alike.
