Jonjon reviews.. “Form” (Candid Gallery)

Location. Exit Angel Station (Northern Line) then turn left. As you reach the junction turn left again and head into Torrens Street. The gallery will be to your right, next to Candid café.

A four-minute walk in total.

Exhibitors. Bath Spa University photography graduate show.

Luminance. The gallery is well-lit.

Interior design. Factory-styled exposed ceiling and floor. I.e. no design.

Glance: “Form” (Candid Gallery)


If art school grad shows thrive on essay-writing skills and architects can solve crime, why not now let photography majors do what non-photographers would do?

Let’s look at those that made their efforts to stand out.

See yourself: “Form” (Candid Gallery)


1. Bed with projected scenes (clip): inspired by insomnia and as experimentation on the therapeutic properties of picture-looking. There’s one thing good about these simple set-ups: you can just pretend it’s about you, and find yourself in an everyday activity that’s relatable.

2. And it’s flashing and noisy. (Remember what we saw in South London Gallery?)

2. Go upstairs to find a picture book where you get to fill in the story texts.

3. These interactive artworks intrigue me for some reason. (Here's a functional example from Wellcome Collection. Also, they come in handy in the explaining of a large pool of information: ”Peek in the Kitchen” Tower, that quirky billiard table at Wardown House Museum and Gallery, and of course the showroom with my favourite model of London: Building Centre.)


Time is asset: save it for better with 25-min museum tours. Or find yourself in my novel, check out the photo of the day and finish it off with a secret prize.
