Description
Laura Phillips, Head of Interpretation and Display, leads an exhibition tour of Oliver Chanarin, A Perfect Sentence, exclusively for National Lottery Players*.
The exhibition – Oliver Chanarin, A Perfect Sentence – explores the shifting terrain of documentary photography: our drive for attention, the complexity of being seen and our anxiety of being overlooked. Commissioned and produced by contemporary arts organisation Forma, with eight partners, A Perfect Sentence is Oliver Frank Chanarin’s first UK solo exhibition and will see multiple presentations across the country, public acquisitions, a digital platform and a publication.
Throughout 2022, Chanarin undertook multiple journeys across the UK, often finding himself on the margins – from suburban fetish groups to carnival troupes in community halls, to gender activists protesting in the streets. His analogue camera became a tool for social exchange. Collaborative photoshoots gave way to chance encounters with strangers and friends, missteps and wilful attempts at getting lost in the world. The resulting photographs capture a subjective and intimate record of a nation in transition. In Derby, Chanarin and Forma collaborated with QUAD/FORMAT and Derby Museums to make portraits with people and communities in Derbyshire.

This event is organised as part of National Lottery Open Week 2023.
