  1. Against nostalgia: Tish Murtha and Kuba Ryniewicz at Baltic, Gateshead
    Sep 17, 2026 · original
    Close to Home , the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art’s latest exhibition, pairs Tish Murtha’s tender, furious social documentary with Kuba Ryniewicz’s queer, exuberant visions of joy, intimacy and resistance. Bringing two generations of marginalised lives into unexpected dialogue, the exhibition asks what it means to photograph a community – and who gets to shape its history – while offering a chance to rethink Northern working-class imagery beyond familiar narratives of deprivation, towards a history that is more plural, unruly and still being made, Lillian Wilkie writes. Lillian Wilkie | Exhibition review | 17 September 2026 Join us on Patreon In January of this year, Newcastle’s storied Side Gallery, the UK’s only photography gallery dedicated to stories of working-class life, which had been shuttered since 2023, announced a collaborative curatorial partnership with the Baltic Centr
  2. The limits of juxtaposition: Arthur Jafa and Richard Prince at Fondazione Prada, Venice
    Sep 9, 2026 · original
    During the 61st Venice Biennale, Nancy Spector’s Helter Skelter: Arthur Jafa and Richard Prince at Fondazione Prada’s Ca’ Corner della Regina functioned as the unofficial US pavilion. The exhibition is ultimately ‘about’ America, writes Peter Watkins – its images, violences, fantasies, and distortions – but that ambition is also where its problems sharpen, as the pairing of Jafa and Prince threatens to compress two complex practices into an overly neat art-world conversation. Peter Watkins | Exhibition review | 10 September 2026 Join us on Patreon What do you get when you place America’s two most notorious image-scavengers in a Venetian palazzo together, and ask them to talk with one another? There is an unmistakable tension, one we might expect to complicate, or peel open our prefigured readings of these two art world heavyweights. Or rather, are we instead presented with a diametricall
  3. Between pose and presence: on Farren van Wyk’s Mixedness is My Mythology
    Jul 30, 2026 · original
    Farren van Wyk’s first solo museum exhibition, at Fotomuseum Den Haag, turns the camera towards her own family while drawing on the visual histories of anthropological photography, portraiture and colonial representation. Born to a South African mother and Dutch father, Van Wyk was classified as ‘coloured’ before moving to the Netherlands at the age of six. In Mixedness is My Mythology , made with her parents and brothers on the family farm in Putten, her carefully staged analogue photographs explore how identity is shaped through pose, performance and the act of representation itself. Bas Blaasse writes about a body of work that examines how photography negotiates the terms of visibility, revealing how family, history and belonging are not only recorded but constructed through images.

  4. The ethics of looking at a mother
    Jul 23, 2026 · original
    Katherine Hubbard’s The Great Room has the makings of a modern classic, and its presentation at Vienna’s Secession marks the artist’s first institutional solo exhibition outside the U.S. Joining Hubbard and her circle on the opening night, Peter Watkins finds something stranger and less settled than a documentary about dementia, caregiving or the ethics of consent. Staged photographs, mirrors, bodily contact prints, and reconstructed rooms show a mother and daughter continually remaking their roles, testing who looks, who holds power, and what it costs to make grief public. Peter Watkins | Exhibition Review | 23 July 2026 Join us on Patreon En route to Vienna’s Secession, I thought I understood the terms and conditions Katherine Hubbard was working in. My own project, The Unforgetting , grew from losing my mother as a child and watching my grandmother’s slow slide into dementia during th
  5. Mark Sealy’s vision of photography beyond critique
    Jul 16, 2026 · original
    Guided by Mark Sealy’s artistic direction, the 9th Triennial of Photography Hamburg brings together 279 international artists across 11 exhibitions throughout the city, centred on the theme Alliance, Infinity, Love – in the Face of the Other . Drawing on the ideas of Emmanuel Levinas, bell hooks and others, the festival reimagines photography as an ethical encounter, inviting viewers to consider alterity, difference and the possibility of a shared future. Visiting the Deichtorhallen, Tim Clark notes the boldness of this approach, observing how love in art and exhibition-making risks smoothing over structural inequalities, yet done right, might prompt us to consider what photography can help us become, rather than simply what it can depict.

  6. The feminist possibilities of the cut image
    Jul 2, 2026 · original
    Co-published by Thames & Hudson and V&A, Fiona Rogers’ Cut Out is a 240-page dive into photo collage, photomontage and assemblage, framing the cut as both a technique and a way of thinking. From Lorna Simpson’s cosmic reworking of the pin-up and Helen Chadwick’s visceral blue photocopies to the Surrealist experiments of Claude Cahun and Dora Maar, Rogers traces how artists have pulled photography apart to make it speak in new ways. Anneka French reads Cut Out as a wide-ranging account of feminist image-making, arguing that Rogers connects practices shaped by race, colonialism, climate, and digital technology to a broader challenge to photography’s claims of authority, visibility and possession.

  7. 10 Must-See Exhibitions: Summer 2026

  8. Why AI street photography fails
    Jun 18, 2026 · original
    At Fotografiska Berlin, Phillip Toledano’s Edward Trevor: Never Seen the Light appeared to offer a photographic miracle: a lost family archive, a dead father, a box of negatives, and New York in the 1930s and 40s. But Edward Trevor was no forgotten street photographer; the archive was fiction, the images AI-generated. Taking that bait-and-switch as a serious critical provocation rather than a clever gimmick, Mark Durden asks what Toledano’s synthetic street scenes actually reveal about authorship, memory, beauty, deception, and the so called ‘post-photographic’ age. What they expose, he suggests, is not the richness of artificial imagination, but a frictionless, overdetermined street photography by numbers. Mark Durden | Exhibition Review | 18 June 2026 Join us on Patreon Phillip Toledano ’s latest exhibition consists of 20 black and white photographs, matted and framed. They are accompa
  9. Capitalism’s dream sequence: Sara Cwynar at The Approach
    Jun 3, 2026 · original
    Sara Cwynar’s Baby Blue Benzo transforms The Approach, London, into a restless theatre of image capitalism, pairing a 21-minute film with photographs installed in the annexe. Linking the Mercedes-Benz 300SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé and benzodiazepines through archival collage, performance and consumer spectacle, the exhibition examines how images convert value, anxiety and desire into cultural products. Beginning with her own disorientating encounter at the gallery, Gem Fletcher traces the film’s references, rhythms and sonic intensity, positioning Cwynar’s work as both a warning and a form of subliminal education. Gem Fletcher | Exhibition Review | 4 June 2026 Join us on Patreon I’m lost. It’s been a minute since I’ve been to The Approach , and I’d totally forgotten it’s above a pub, requiring visitors to cosplay East End punter to access the space via the downstairs bar.

  10. Beyond the frontline: Aria Shahrokhshahi’s journey through Ukraine
    May 28, 2026 · original
    Forged over seven years living and volunteering in Ukraine, Wet Ground by British-Iranian artist Aria Shahrokhshahi cuts straight through and beyond the frontlines of Russia’s full-scale invasion. Published by Loose Joints, Shahrokhshahi’s introspective black and white photographs reveal the continuities of everyday life, vibrant subcultures and the ever-shifting identities of those weathering relentless violence and precarious futures. In conversation with Nathan Leigh Taylor, he reflects on his time as a humanitarian volunteer, surviving a missile strike and the challenge of expressing experiences beyond the familiar language of war photography. Aria Shahrokhshahi | Interview | 28 May 2026 Join us on Patreon Nathan Leigh Taylor: Wet Ground has been described as being made ‘from inside the war rather than in response to it.’ How did living and volunteering in Ukraine shape the way you p
