Join us for the formal opening of Catherine Rogers: Evidence and The Visible

The exhibition will be officially launched by Terence Maloon, Director of the Drill Hall Gallery.

Catherine Rogers’s photographs are marked by curiosity, humour, erudition, and very strong aesthetic motivations. Her practice began in the 1970s and her copious yet relatively little-known body of work is surveyed here for the first time. Questions relating to a photograph’s claims to truth, captions and titles which create wildly misleading inferences, all manner of incentives to doubt the evidence of our eyes… these have driven successive bodies of Catherine Rogers’s work.
