White Cloth Gallery

I recently went to view the Ewen Spencer exhibition at White Cloth Gallery in Leeds. During and after the trip, much debate arose regarding the presentation of his prints. Each photograph was haphazardly stuck up resulting in a number of glue stains, air bubbles and creases, as well as poor alignment between individual sections of the images. The curator stated that Spencer had intentionally presented his work in this way, so as to evoke feelings of street culture. While I believe that this was in fact the photographers intent, I think that more consideration could have gone into achieving the desired affect.
