Colombian residency artists in UK exhibition

Artists Juan Pablo Echeverri, Maria Elvira Escallón and Milena Bonilla are currently showing in the group exhibition Once more, with feeling: Recent photography from Colombia.

Milena Bonilla: Plano transitorio (Transitory Map)

This major international exhibition of photography and video work is organised by Impressions in joint collaboration with The Photographers’ Gallery (London). It brings together both emerging and established artists rarely seen in the UK. Whilst their approaches are diverse, all suggest the notion ‘once more, with feeling’: an action repeated, remembered or re-visited.

Juan Pablo Echeverri goes to a passport photo booth every day, and has accumulated over seven years worth of self-portraits.

María Elvira Escallón revisits the harrowing aftermath of a bomb in the Colombian capital of Bogotá.

Oscar Muñoz brings to life a forgotten archive of photographs depicting life in the city of Cali in the fifties, sixties and seventies.

María Isabel Rueda documents the culture of Colombia’s Goth scene.

Milena Bonilla anonymously sews the torn seats of buses whilst traveling in the city.

Juan Manuel Echavarría records the songs composed by country dwellers displaced by guerrilla violence.

Once more, with feeling is funded by The National Lottery through Arts Council England.

Juan, Maria and Milena have been participants of the Visiting Arts' England - Colombia Artists' Fellowship Programme. 

Until 3 February 2008 @ Impressions Gallery, Bradford
