Photographic Exhibition: Where can you buy? & Where on Earth?

Philip Woolway has a new solo exhibition coming to Le Café Parisien on Montgomery Way opening on 4th March from 5.30pm where there will be the opportunity to purchase prints at commission and vat free prices together with the opportunity to win a free print from the Where can you buy? collection.

Where can you buy? Selected works from the Antiques Collectable and Curios Project.

A reflection on the demise of the shops with a myriad of objects; places where organised chaos challenges to overwhelm and confuse, where items with“What’s that?” mystery and “Remember this?” nostalgia lie patiently awaiting a retro return.
 
The collection provides a photographic record of chaotic emporia from Rye to Penzance including Hastings, the Isle of Wight, Bath and Devon (with a detour to Wales) and may at last help you answer that age-old question, ”Where can I buy a skull, a bottle of cocaine, a cyberman, a golden 
Buddha, a polar bear rug and an Izal toilet roll?”.

Where on earth? Selected works from the Utopia Project

Whether with a sense of tranquillity, wonder or excitement, have you ever paused for a moment, looked around and silently declared, ”Perfect”? Oh, the wish to hold that moment, to cherish and preserve it; a world devoid of all others, but alas and all too readily the moment passes leaving just a distant memory.
 
The Utopia collection seeks to capture those dream-worlds as they float through their cloud-cosseted skies.

A very different photographic exhibition.
