A Selection of Photography Shows
Fitzrovia/Soho Contemporary Galleries. A selection made for FMC by art advisor Jenny Christensson. There are numerous interesting contemporary art galleries nestled in the narrow streets of Fitzrovia and Soho. Inspired by Photo London we went in search of exhibitions of photography and film in the area around Oxford Circus:

It included works by Andrea Bowers, Sam Durant, Hans Haacke, Sharon Hayes, Mary Kelly and Carrie Mae Weems. The new exhibition showing new paintings and sculptures by young British artist Gabriel Hartley is opening on 12 June 2015.
