FFWE at The Photographers Gallery, 2012.

Curator Karen Mc Quain in Dazed Magazine:
"I have been curating this show for the last five years and for me the biggest challenge has always been finding a way for many styles of work and modes of display to feel coherent in one exhibition. Trying to find the correct pacing of projects, allowing each work some space to breath, and making the right selection of works to ensure the audience gets a strong sense of each overall project within the edit. Our newly renovated building boasts bigger galleries and higher ceilings, it will certainly be exciting to utilise them to their full potential this year. Although challenging the variety of approaches to photography in the exhibition is what our visitors really respond to. It’s why the show is such a great testament to the many different directions in which photography can be pushed."
