Li Gang: In the Grey Scale – Photography exhibition at MGA

Posted on by YT

Monash Gallery of Art will be exhibiting images by Australian-trained Chinese photographer, Li Gang. The gallery’s website introduces his works as:

The use of hand-built cameras introduces risk and accidents to Li Gang’s work. In his photographs, instead of control and mastery, there is magic and mystery. The photographic darkroom was always a place of magic and mystery, where alchemy and science turned silver halides into pictures. Li Gang returns to these roots.

Now, doesn’t that sound interesting! The opening event will be held this Sunday 26 September at 3pm. The artist and curator will both be present, so it would be a perfect opportunity to get to know the insight of the unique style exploited. There will be refreshments served. If you like to come along with me, please let me know by the day before.

This exhibition will be open to public from the 23rd of September (today) till the 26th of November.

You might also like to know that this year’s Bowness Prize winner will also be announced this evening (23 September), so I’m guessing that the short listed works will be on display if we go there on Sunday. I look forward to seeing you there!
