George Georgiou Last Stop

07/04/2018

Italian friends. I will be in Verona on the 20th April for a double exhibition of Fault Lines and Last Stop, as well as a weekend workshop. It would be lovely to see you there, I have missed Italy.

EXHIBITION/WORKSHOP of GEORGE GEORGIOU in VERONA

On Friday April 20th, a double photographic exhibition by George Georgiou will open in Verona.
The exhibition, organized in collaboration with Quasi Fotografo, will occupy two of the exhibition spaces located opposite each other in the city center.

The two works on show will be “Last Stop” and “Fault Lines / Turkey / East / West”.
The former explores the diversity of London through the windows of its double decker buses emphasizing the way people use public space in a big city and taking advantage of the completely new perspective of this means of transport.
The second explores and questions the concept of East / West, the numerous and complex fault lines that characterize contemporary Turkey and global issues concerning urbanization and development.

The inauguration weekend will also see a workshop at Verona Fotografia with the author in order to learn to read the social and architectural urban territory with greater awareness and reflect about how to use the most suitable photographic languages in order to emphasize and narrate the city.

George, born in London in 1961, has won numerous awards including the British Journal of Photography Project Prize 2010, two World Press Photo in 2003 and 2005, the first International Pictures of the Year 2004 award.
Georgiou’s photographs have entered the collections of various private foundations and collectors, including the Museum of Modern Art, NY and the Elton John collection.

The exhibition spaces will be the Galleria Quasi Fotografo 1 and the Galleria Quasi Fotografo 3, located respectively in via Carducci 29 and via Carducci 14.

Venerdì 20 Aprile inaugura a Verona una doppia mostra fotografica di George Georgiou.
La mostra, organizzata in collaborazione con Quasi Fotografo occuperò due degli spazi espositivi situati uno di fronte all’altro nel centro della città.

I due lavori esposti saranno “Last Stop” e "Fault Lines/Turkey/East/West”.
Il primo esplora la diversità di Londra attraverso i finestrini dei suoi autobus a due piani enfatizzando il modo in cui le persone usano lo spazio pubblico in una grande città e sfruttando il punto di vista completamente inedito dato dal mezzo di trasporto.
Il secondo esplora e mette in discussione il concetto di Est / Ovest, le numerose e complesse linee di faglia che caratterizzano la Turchia contemporanea e le questioni globali riguardanti l'urbanizzazione e lo sviluppo.

Il week end dell’inaugurazione vedrà anche un workshop presso Verona Fotografia con l’autore per imparare a leggere il territorio sociale e architettonico urbano con maggiore consapevolezza e riflettere su come utilizzare i linguaggi fotografici più adatti ad enfatizzare e raccontare la città.

A fantastic review of Last Stop on Conscientious.
"Last Stop is a smart book, but it is more than that, given it does not aim at making its maker’s smartness one of the main aspects."

Photographer George Georgiou grew up in London in the 1970s. After a decade abroad, he returned in 2008 to find a place he barely recognised. So he decided to hop on and off double-decker buses and criss-cross the capital to capture the view from the top deck

The full feature/interview from last months BJP is now on line.
"A battered old hatchback rolls up outside Folkestone Central station and George Georgiou – with a shy, blokey smile – leans over to pop the passenger door before driving me through the seaside town he now calls home." I feel a little INSULTED, this is the FLASHIEST car I have ever owned.
