School Run: Kelly Hill and Jonathan Illingworth | |
5 to 14 June | |
|
Kelly Hill and Jonathan Illingworth present projects in which they have each taken photographs on the only time of day they find available – the walk to drop off their children. The exhibition highlights how our repetitive routes can throw up beauty and intrigue every day, and how a local environment can differ greatly from day to day. Hill's ongoing project involves taking a picture every day for a year
(bar school holidays) and posting new shots daily on her blog until
January 2010 – continuing while the exhibition's on and beyond.
Hill's photographs tend to be delicate and mysterious; Illingworth's,
in contrast, taken on his walks through Plumstead Wood, southeast London,
are often darker and more macabre, and taken more spontaneously. Exploration Architecture Ltd School Run is part of Respond! This is an initiative of the RSA Arts & Ecology Centre to highlight and celebrate a month of nationwide events, exhibitions, talks and projects that demonstrate the arts’ engagement with environmental issues.
