FVTVREFOCUS / NEW TERRAIN
New Terrain serves as a prompt to redefine photography in the wake of our newfound consciousness and merging technologies to reveal a diverse landscape of infinite possibilities, both tangible and imagined.
In a world rocked by seismic uncertainty, where fragile futures emerge anew, photography will always play a pivotal role. As artists push the limits of the medium in response to current times, they develop new ways of seeing and perceiving the world, highlighting the diverse possibilities that photography offers not only for artistic progress but for social understanding and transformation.
Parallel LDN presents Future Focus, a programme dedicated to discovering contemporary shifts in art using photography in support of a better future. Through a series of exhibitions and curated content, we explore new visual dialogues that disrupt our preconceived notion on the ever evolving medium and give access to the artists that seek their own freedom through experimentation.
In the first series ‘New Terrain’ we feature eight distinctive artists that give us a glimpse into contemporary photography’s diverse and progressive landscape, including artists working at the intersection of AI, sculpture, and film. Whether representational, abstract, or interdisciplinary, these artists all break linear traditions to embrace a more fluid and responsive approach, constructing conversations between cultural identity, time and space, past and present, memory, material trace, real and alternate realities. As artists investigate, research, and break new ground, not only do they gain insight into inner worlds they reveal new prisms to see the world through.
New Terrain serves as a prompt to redefine photography in the wake of emerging technologies and climate to change to reveal a diverse landscape of infinite possibilities, both tangible and imagined.
Future Focus is dedicated to amplifying the diverse voices within the contemporary art sphere. At the core of each programme is a drive to address the critical issues of today, ignite greater connections to our environment and support the initiatives that protect it. Parallel LDN together with our artists donate 20% of the sales proceeds to non-profit charities aligned with each exhibition, chosen by the artist. Part of our commitment to support both our artists and the causes that resonate with their work.
