JR Inside Unseen

Today went to the Unseen exhibition in Amsterdam To see thier website click Here

A big collection of contemporary photography from galleries across the world. As usual a mix of good and bad, and for me some completely obscure.

The exhibition is in an old Gasworks just outside Amsterdam. Literally inside the old gasholder - quite an interesting display area in its own right and a great creative use of an old factory - keeping the history but making it available for new use.

One interesting part of the exhibition was the JR Inside Out Project.

The INSIDE OUT project has traveled from Ecuador to Nepal, from Mexico to Palestine to New York and is next headed to Amsterdam. Visitors are invited to have their portrait taken in a mobile photo booth and instantly printed on poster-scale format to then become a part of the exhibition and an ever-growing, global artwork. You will become the artwork, your face the statement.

Great to see the van with the poster size prints coming out of the side - and of course people showing off their result
