WOMEN LOOKING AT WOMEN: The female gaze

Picture
The main focus of WOMEN LOOKING AT WOMEN: The female gaze is the self-representation of women in Photography. The 20th century led to new paths in women's representation that challenged the notion of "the gaze" as being purely one sided: men looking at women. The book discusses in context, some of the historical and socio-cultural changes in the perception of the feminine and the "female" artist. It examines how the articulation of these new tendencies in representation, together with an increasing presence of female artists in the Art World, enabled reconsideration and renegotiation of the terms in which women are looked upon. A series of photographic works by key female artists are discussed and juxtaposed. The historical burden of the "male gaze" is confronted by a new myriad of "gazes".

About the Author: Sanroman lives and works in London. She graduated in Photography from London College of Communication in 2008. Since then, she has been involved in several exhibitions as artist and curator. Susana is currently assisting international renowned photographer Tom Hunter and collaborating with international performance company New Opera Hero.

Description

This collection of pocket photobooks reflects the magazine’s standing as a great assembly of ideas, stories, conversations, and specially commissioned photographic artwork. More than just a photo book, each edition is a collector’s item which reveals the work of Spanish photographers working in the UK. Each book focuses on a specific concept and is introduced by a foreword from an artistic influencer who endorses the artist’s work.

Susana Sanromán photobook showcases two series of photographs that uncover how poetic language and visual expression can be blended together to form a convincing creative condemnation. We are presented with a visual dystopia that makes us look back in The Things We Leave Behind, and an impetus to think of tomorrow in Present Imperfect, Future Tense.

THE FOREWORD
The foreword to Susana Sanromán’s photobook is written by Kathleen Soriano, an independent curator, art historian, and broadcaster, currently Chair of the Liverpool Biennial. Over the last 30 years she has been responsible for contemporary and historical exhibitions, collections and public programmes at the National Portrait Gallery, London, the Royal Academy of Arts, where she was Artistic Director (2009-14), as well as at Compton Verney Art Gallery, where she was Director.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Susana Sanromán is a Galician photographer who has made London her home. Since completing her studies in photography at the London College of Communication, she has been involved in a number of exhibitions as a visual artist. Her work conveys intimacy and subtlety, and has been shown at the Louvre, the Venice Biennale, Art takes Miami, Brussels, Paris and Tallinn Art Weeks, NordArt, Interfilm Berlin, to name just a few. On top of this, the work she has produced while assisting the internationally renowned artist Tom Hunter has pushed the limits of conventional photography.
In constant evolution, prompted by her creative vision and a distinctive visual language, her work displays a narrative dictated by the visceral impulses of a global society, which leads to a state of hyper-connectivity, degradation, ambiguity, and hypnosis. Her creative process starts with an image in her mind’s eye, an image which she then develops to create a piece of art which might drift between performance, installation, photography, and sculpture.

THE ORGAN | Sean Worrall
'CHINESE OPEN THE YEAR OF THE HORSE 2014'

ORGAN THING OF THE DAY: CHINESE OPEN 2014, AN ART SHOW IN AN UNDERGROUND CARPARK, A FLAVOUR OF THE OPENING DAY
Opening day of the 2014 Chinese Open just ended, a spontaneous art show in middle of dragon-flavored chaos and celebration in central London.  Here’s a taste of what was going on way down underground on level7, while up on the surface, earlier today, Chinese New Year, the year of the horse was being celebrated in the West End of London over in Chinatown, Soho. The show goes on for a week in the underground car park, here’s a flavour of what you can expect to discover.

Featuring Susana Sanroman's work.
