Dandi Battersea | Hazel Court, Haydon Way, London SW18Open Doors Gallery is proud to present Blind Field, a solo exhibition of unique work from Berlin based artist duo, Wysocka / Pogo. This will be the first presentation of their work in the UK and will include a mix of newly commissioned and early work.
Blind Field is a photographic term which refers to something that lies outside the borders of the image, something suggested or implied, but not necessarily captured by the camera.
Magdalena Wysocka (b.1987, Poland) and Claudio Pogo (b.1978, Germany) are a Berlin based artist duo who have been working together since 2016. With backgrounds in printmaking and photography, their work bridges a variety of related mediums, from large-scale printed canvas works to handmade photobooks. Their practice is centred around collecting and re-contextualising found imagery.
Material is sourced from vintage photographs, books and other archives, stripped of its original context and transformed to create new visual narratives. Wysocka and Pogo utilise Risography, a Japanese stencil printing technique from the 1960’s, to express this reinterpretation. They purposefully push the risograph’s boundaries heightening the elements of chance and unpredictability in the finished pieces. Their canvases become a beautiful and uniquely tangible reflection on the passage of time and context, as well as machine-made replication vs. hand-made interpretation.
Opening Night | Wednesday 30 October, 6—9PM | RSVP here
