Colmore Business District’s latest photography exhibition, in partnership with the Jewellery Quarter Business Improvement District and Library of Birmingham, is out on Church Street Square and St Paul’s Square.
The Findings outdoor photography exhibition features the work of internationally acclaimed photographer and artist Tom Hunter. The exhibition presents approximately 50 new pinhole images of spaces and places that are both everyday and architecturally significant to be found in Colmore Business District and the Jewellery Quarter. The images were taken in February this year when Tom visited various locations in CBD and the Jewellery Quarter.
Tom took his MA at the Royal College of Art, where in 1996, he was awarded the photography prize from Fuji Film. In 1998 he won the John Kobal Photographic Award at the National Portrait Gallery. He has shown his work at the Saatchi Gallery, White Cube Gallery and Manchester City Art Gallery. Tom has recently been commissioned by the Serpentine Gallery, The Victoria and Albert Museum and Royal Shakespeare Company. His work was also shown in the exhibition, Seduced by Art, at the National Gallery in London.
The Findings commission is the first to be announced through the new GRAIN project, a hub and network for photography and photographers that has been created by the Library of Birmingham, supported by Arts Council England, in collaboration with local, national and international partners.
The Findings commission is being supported by the Arts Council, Birmingham City University and Metro Imaging.
Colmore Business District is committed to supporting projects that encourage people to make use of the District’s open spaces and has held three successful outdoor photography exhibitions in the area since 2010.
