John Riddy : Palermo

12 Apr-1 Jun 2013

Overview

Frith Street Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new black and white photographic works by John Riddy. This series of Black and White photographs of Palermo were made over a three year period starting in 2011. As with many of Riddy's previous projects, his interest was sparked by 19th century art - in this case, the photographs taken in Palermo by Gustave Le Gray, shortly after Garibaldi's entry to the Sicilian capital in 1860. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication with a text by Brian Dillon.
