The Photographers' Gallery is located in a narrow alley, hiding in the hustle and bustle Oxford street, the valuable proposition of which is the first independent gallery in Britain devoted to photography. The outside of style and size looks like White Cube; however, the structure of interior is not following the common rule, but impressive both visually and intellectually, so I will detail to illustrate the order. The display rooms are not at the same floor, but independently site in each floor. Exhibition display is from the second floor to fifth floor. The ground is a coffee shop and a reception. The basement is a bookshop for selling photography. The first floor is staff office and the third floor is stereo with a small space, displaying a piece of photo to intrigue audience to think.
The works of photos definitely has changed the concept of unpleasant materials into fancy and touching image, which also overcame my preconceptions and expanded my artistic horizons. The topic of exhibition is oil, the photographer uses his professional photographic skill plus special effect on pictures to create profound and artistic works, which make people to love and further to think about how humans destruct the only earth. I deeply appreciated the power and influence of artists, the collectors will buy the works through being moved.
Apart from the silent voice(photos), a couple of video in a tiny space offered for visitors to listen to what points the artist express. In a whole, the space of the gallery is small and narrow, but it is observed the quality and value embed and the visitor enjoy the experience. (06.06,12)
