Sweet Immortality

The exhibition of approximately 40 works surveys
Clark’s early photographs, Streeters & Interiors, the
impulse for the documentary in Travel Panoramas:
Japan-China, the GIO series, and his highly lauded
exhibition, Articles of Faith, inspired by found
objects and unusual articles. In this work Clark’s
collecting passion is expressed in large totemic
photo-assemblages that hold compelling kinships to
curiosity cabinets. His accompanying book,
extended the concept with a text narrative that
brings to the images a persistent and haunting
visual grammar. Clark’s many passions, expressed
materially and conceptually, embodied his highly
charged intellectual energy, and throughout his
career his imagination, humour and determined
research culminated into many insightful curatorial
projects. Curated by Michael Mitchell, with a video
edited by Vid Ingelevics and Tina Oehmsen Clark.
