PHOTOGRAPHY OPEN '23
19/1/23 - 28/1/23
Continuing OUTPUT’s survey of creativity in the region, we’re back at the Bridewell Studios & Gallery for the 2023 Photography Open, guest curated by Declan Connolly and featuring the work of Andrew Wilson, Lydia Marley, Joseph Hulme, Naomi McAllister, Johanna Wilson & Hester Yang.

The six artists in this exhibition, who all live and work in Merseyside, were selected from close to 100 submissions. Their work contains a breadth of styles and techniques including camera-less cyanotype photography, archival photography, analog and digital. Once again we are delighted to be able to showcase such a diverse range of talent from our region.

I wanted to think about not just how photography is being used locally but what photography does as a physical medium; documenting, memorialising, pointing and making allegory. The photograph can’t help but make reference to physical spaces, which sometimes distracts from their meaning - together, these 6 artists contribute to a whole that is placeless, allowing their story-telling to become more about method; how camera and chemical allow each to share deeper.
