New at The Photographers Gallery
www.photonet.org.uk
Seeing is Believing
Until 27 January 2008
Seeing is Believing explores photography's strong relationship to the non-rational, the unknown and the ethereal. It brings together vintage photographs from the archive of the Harry Price Library of Magical Literature, with work by seven international artists who share a fascination for the unexplained.
Antonie d'Agata: Insomnia
Until 27 January 2008
Considered one of a new breed of Magnum photographers, Antoine d’Agata’s images appear to exist between time and space in an alternately bleak, painterly and carnivalesque atmosphere. From his native Marseilles to New York, Mexico and Central America, d'Agata has drawn from over 10 years of travelling as the inspiration for his photography.
Lee Miller in The Print Sales Gallery
Until 3rd February 2008
Celebrating the centenary of one of the most significant contributors to the history of photography, Print Sales exhibits the work of Lee Miller.
