Book Singing at Grimaldi Gavin gallery, July 16th

KAREN KNORR: INDIA SONG
BOOK SIGNING

16 July 2015, 6 – 8pm

Grimaldi Gavin Gallery

27 Albemarle Street
London W1S 4DW

Karen will be signing copies of her new book India Song, published by Skira. Knorr began her ‘India Song’ series in 2008, after a life-changing trip through Rajasthan. The resulting images take inspiration from the Indian tradition of personifying animals in literature and art, depicting scenarios that are at once otherworldly and surreal. Knorr’s work explores Rajput and Mughal cultural heritage and its contemporary relationship to questions of feminine subjectivity and animality. Please email RSVP@grimaldigavin.com if you would like to attend.

Karen’s work is in ‘Rights of Passage’ curated by Jean Wainwright

‘Punks’ on Print Sales at The Photographers’ Gallery

WE COULD BE HEROES
6 FEBRUARY – 12 APRIL 2015

Print Sales’ Gallery presents We Could Be Heroes a group exhibition which looks at the development of youth culture and the bittersweet rites of passage towards adulthood over the last century.The exhibition features work from master photographers Bruce Davidson, Ed van der Elsken, Bert Hardy, Karen Knorr and Olivier Richon, Jacques Henri Lartigue, Roger Mayne, Chris Steele-Perkins, Anders Petersen, Al Vandenberg, Weegee and Tom Wood.

The term ‘teenager’ was coined during a new wave of post-war optimism and freedom in which younger generations in Europe and the US seized an opportunity to turn away from tradition and assert new attitudes and subcultures. We Could Be Heroes reflects the exuberance, insouciance and rebellious bravado of this new tribe and its predecessors.
