Michael Riley — BY A WINDOW — Sydney, Australia — 4-27 AUG, 2016
Verge Gallery, Jane Foss Russell Plaza, City Road, Darlington, University of Sydney
By a window begins with two photographs by renowned artist Michael Riley (1960-2004) and expands beyond their time and subject matter with rarely-seen archival documents, texts and vernacular photographs from the late 19th Century to today. The exhibition reveals forgotten or unknown connections between people and places to create an open platform for conversations about our history, our engagement within our community and the role of photography as a privileged medium in social and political consciousness.
