9th 24:2012 Exhibition opens on 24 february
The 24 photographers of the collective 24Photography will be celebrating their ninth anniversary of documenting the first 24 hours of each New Year for 24 years with an exhibition in Berkeley Square in London. The collective is hoping the project will create social commentary that will last for generations.
Featuring a number of critically acclaimed artists from across the globe, the group draws on a wide variety of experience and talent. Each individual is tasked with capturing a single moment within their allotted hour, creating a unique collection of images linked only by time.
The original 24 photographers met while studying on a postgraduate photography course at Central St Martin’s in
London. Although their various careers have all led them down different paths they reunite to continue towards their goal.
Six prints from the project will be auctioned off in aid of the breast cancer charity Too Many Women. They will go under the hammer on the night of the private view at a special event at Mortons Club, just a stone’s throw away
from the exhibition in Berkeley Square.
Claire Spreadbury, founder of 24photography, said: “We are delighted to be returning to Berkeley Square and
exhibiting once again in one of London's most prestigious squares. On top of that our ongoing collaboration with
Mortons and the breast cancer charity Too Many Women make this year feel even more special.”
“The exhibition is going from strength to strength and now in our ninth year we've really developed an identity and
feel that we're an established part of London's art calendar. New Year's Day is an exciting time of the year, and we
hope that 24 captures some of that excitement, but also gives a little glimpse into the rest of the day after the
celebrations and parties. The exhibition in Berkeley Square allows us to share that with everyone.”
Previous exhibitions have been displayed in unusual but accessible locations (the fountains of Trafalgar Square, the SS Robin in Docklands, AOP, Greenwich Park, Golden Square and Soho Square to name just a few).
