Apologies for cross-posting:
Please join us for the opening of Dr. Chris Heppell’s photography exhibition, “Aberdeen: In Memoriam Mark Fisher,” this Thursday (31/3) on the ground floor of the Sir Duncan Rice Library at the University of Aberdeen from 18:00 to 19:00. Refreshments
will be served. For further information,
Dr. Heppell writes,
"This retrospective exhibition incorporates work from the past 7 years
taken while studying for my MLitt and PhD at the University of Aberdeen. Using colour film, an early 1980s Minolta SLR camera with a light leak, and degrading or out of date film, my practice embraces the contingency of over-exposure. I hope to render the
surface of the photograph contestable, transfiguring the everyday subject matter I encounter on frequent walks through the city.
The exhibition is dedicated to my friend the cultural theorist Mark Fisher who sadly passed away in January of this year. Author of “Capitalist Realism” and “Ghosts of my Life,” Mark was latterly a lecturer at Goldsmiths, and visited Aberdeen in 2012 to give
a keynote address at the Moving Forward postgraduate conference I helped to organise. Mark was a generous supporter of my work and we had discussed collaborating on future projects before his death. See the link below for the blogpost Mark, writing as k-punk, published
about my work in 2008 (at that time I went under the alias “clean eyes”).
