SUMMARY:Open Eye Gallery: Open Eye Gallery: Jerwood / Photoworks Awards 201
 5
DESCRIPTION:Open Eye Gallery is delighted to present a group exhibition of 
 new photography enabled by the first national Jerwood/Photoworks Awards.\n
 \nThree artists were selected from a call for applications to UK-based pho
 tography practitioners within ten years of establishing their practice. Ea
 ch has received an award of £5\,000 to support the making of new work for
  this exhibition\, with a significant production fund and advice from a po
 ol of thirteen Mentors including Alec Soth\, Gillian Wearing\, Broomberg &
 amp\; Chanarin and Michael Mack as well as curatorial advice from both of 
 the award giving organisations.\n\nMatthew Finn has been photographing his
  mother in a series of collaborative portraits since 1987.\n\nMother draws
  us into the fascinating dynamic of mother and son offering an intense and
  honest view of this most natural and universal of bonds. His Jerwood/Phot
 oworks Award has enabled Matthew to revisit this series at an emotional ti
 me that has seen his mother\, Jean\, move from her family home into an ass
 isted living residence. Jean’s mental health has changed her role in the
  portraits from active participant to one of an observed subject\; widenin
 g the focus of his images towards objects and metaphor.\n\nJoanna Piotrows
 ka’s work explores anxiety and the effects of global and political event
 s on the individual. Counteracting the passive role encouraged of adolesce
 nt girls\, Joanna has enlisted young women to recreate poses from self-def
 ence manuals. She offers the viewer a reclamation of the private body from
  the public sphere\, and re-contextualising these poses within a domestic 
 setting\, feeds our fascination with the uncanny or the unheimlich.\n\nTer
 eza Zelenkova has travelled to her native Czech Republic to explore themes
  of history\, local legend and folklore. Tereza’s Jerwood/Photoworks Awa
 rd enabled her to visit numerous locations\, but the resulting images seem
  themselves out of place and time. Her eerily beautiful\, black and white 
 photographs of woodlands\, stone structures and relics form their own drea
 m-like\, subconscious world\, where stories fuel the viewer’s interpreta
 tion.\n\nThomas Dukes\, Curator at Open Eye Gallery said:\n\nOpen Eye Gall
 ery looks to champion the work of photographers through all stages of thei
 r career\, and working with the Jerwood/Photoworks Awards is an opportunit
 y to support the emerging stage of the career path as part of a nationwide
  network of photographic institutions. Each photographer seemingly positio
 ns their project at a different scale of relationship to the individual\, 
 from a nebulous global sense of culture to the intensely personal family t
 ies. As well as the consistently incredible level of work\, developing thi
 s exhibition has been a pleasure\, with the three projects ideally suited 
 to the gallery architecture.\n\nIn a joint statement Celia Davies\, Direct
 or of Photoworks and Shonagh Manson\, Director of Jerwood Charitable Found
 ation said:\n\nThe Jerwood/Photoworks Awards are all about recognising fut
 ure potential\, supporting talented artists and their next steps. Working 
 with our Awardees throughout the creative production process and seeing th
 e ideas behind their projects develop into such strong bodies of work that
  may not otherwise have been mad\, has been hugely rewarding. We’re look
 ing forward to seeing where our Awardees’ career paths lead and to selec
 ting from our next call for entries – open now and closing 2 November 20
 16.\n\n[caption id="attachment_72783" align="alignnone" width="700"] © Jo
