John Timberlake : We Are History

28 Jun-30 Aug 2014

Overview

Looking upriver from Vauxhall towards the new US Embassy Gardens, above the broad sweep of the Thames hang unusual clouds… John Timberlake’s new painting project signals the intimate historical relationship between diorama and emergent photographic forms in the context of Beaconsfield’s location, site of painted backdrops staged at Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens. Visitors with cameras are encouraged to photograph themselves within the installation.
