24:2011 Exhibition - Berkeley Square
Exhibition preview
PHOTOGRAPHY collective 24photography is holding its 8th annual outdoor exhibition, 24:2011, in London’s Berkeley Square – from February 24 to March 19, 2011.
24photography is a collective of 24 photographers documenting the first 24 hours of each New Year for 24 years, creating a social commentary that will last for generations.
Featuring a number of critically acclaimed photographers from across the globe, each individual is tasked with capturing a single moment within their allotted hour, creating a unique collection of images linked only by time.
The original 24 photographers met in 2004 while studying on a postgraduate photography course at Central St Martin’s in London. Although their various careers have led them down different paths they reunite to continue towards their goal, this year taking a Candid look at New Year’s Day.
Six prints from the project will be auctioned off in aid of the breast cancer charity Too Many Women. They will go under the hammer on the night of the private view (February 24) at a special event at Mortons Club, just a stones throw away from the exhibition in Berkeley Square.
Claire Spreadbury, founder of 24photography, said: “We are delighted to be exhibiting in one of London’s most prestigious squares and our collaboration with Mortons and the breast cancer charity Too Many Women make this year particularly special.”
Previous exhibitions have proved extremely successful with the group displaying their work in unusual but accessible locations – the fountains of Trafalgar Square, the SS Robin in Docklands, AOP, Greenwich Park, Golden Square and Soho Square to name just a few.
Admission: Free.
Times: Daily from 9am to 5pm.
