Show Me to You Exhibition at Newlands House Gallery, Petworth

Group Exhibition: Show Me to You
Newlands House Gallery, Petworth
1 November 2025–15 February 2026

 

A selection of works from Karen Knorr’s Belgravia (1979-81) series will be on view in the Fast Forward: Women in Photography exhibition, Show Me to You, which accompanies the major retrospective, Jane Bown: Play Shadow.

Jane Bown: Play Shadow at Newlands House Gallery, Petworth (from 1 November 2025 to 15 February 2026) expands beyond the familiar public image of Bown’s work as a photographer with The Observer newspaper, to reveal the deeply personal vision and consistent philosophy that guided her work: a belief in simplicity, natural light, and the decisive presence of a good face.

The exhibition also celebrates Jane’s lasting connection to the region and to future generations of image-makers. An alumna of the Guildford School of Art – which offered the UK’s only full-time photography course at the time, directed by Ifor Thomas – now part of the University for the Creative Arts (UCA), the exhibition includes Show Me to You, part of Fast Forward: Womxn in Photography, which celebrates the continuing legacy of Jane Bown, a UCA’s distinguished graduates. Known for her intimate and honest portraits, Bown’s influence resonates in the work of UCA alumni and staff: Anna Fox, Sunil Gupta, Karen Knorr,

Last few days of U.S. Route 1 (After Berenice Abbott)

U.S. Route 1 (After Berenice Abbott) by Anna Fox and Karen Knorr

Les Rencontres d’Arles
Palais de l’Archevêché, 7 July–5 October 2025

 
There’s now only a few more days to catch Anna Fox and Karen Knorr’s U.S. Route 1 (After Berenice Abbott) at Les Rencontres d’Arles! The exhibition is on view at Palais de l’Archevêché until Sunday 5 October.

Following in the tracks of Berenice Abbott and her colleague/assistant Damon Gadd (also accompanied by Sara Gadd), Karen Knorr and Anna Fox set out in 2016 to start a record of contemporary life along U.S. Route 1 during the age of Trump. Along the way Fox and Knorr searched for a sense of what is happening today and how that differs from what Abbott and Gadd found. Using their iPhones, digital SLRs and a Phase One medium format camera, they photographed small towns, people, drugstores, cafes, diners, hotels, motels, farms, factories, street signs and advertisements.

Celebrating 25 Years of Sundaram Tagore Gallery

25th Anniversary Exhibition
at Sundaram Tagore Gallery, New York
5 September–4 October 2025

Reception: Thursday 18 September, 6–8pm

 

To celebrate their 25th anniversary, Sundaram Tagore Gallery is pleased to present a wide-ranging exhibition of paintings, sculptures, photographs and installations. Their 25th Anniversary Exhibition includes work by more than thirty artists—from those who have been with the gallery since its founding in 2000 to those they have partnered with more recently.

When Sundaram opened his first gallery on Greene Street in SoHo in 2000, his mission was to show that some of the best, most meaningful art was being created by artists deeply engaged in cross-cultural explorations. He began focusing on diasporic artists and those from underrepresented cultures outside Europe and the United States, with the aim of bringing them to the forefront. Crossing cultural and national boundaries, these artists synthesized Western visual languages with forms, techniques, and philosophies from Asia, the Subcontinent, and the Middle East.

Considering Boiler Venting at A+B Gallery in Brescia

Considering Boiler Venting
A+B Gallery, Brescia, Italy
16 July – 27 September 2025

 

Karen Knorr is pleased to be included Considering Boiler Venting, a group exhibition opening 16 July at A+B Gallery in Brescia. On view will be The Opium Smoker, Chitrasala, Bundi, 2017 from India Song and Minerva’s Owl, Palagonia, 2015 from Metamorphoses. The exhibition will also feature works by Linda Carrara, Alwin Lay, Tiziano Martini, Andrea Mirabelli, Markus Saile, The Cool Couple.

Considering Boiler Venting is conceived as a space for releasing tension, similar to a safety valve, responding to the current acceleration of technology. The works — ranging from painting to photography, from objects to digital elaborations — reflect a widespread state of anxiety without being overwhelmed by it. The tension remains constantly active but is regulated by the artists’ skills, who achieve their poetic goals without renouncing the use of openly technological tools.
