Parallel Stories From Here
Fri 9 September – Sat 8 October 2022
An exhibition of new work by Newcastle based Photographer Kuba Ryniewicz. His work has been shown in a wide range of contexts, from album covers, fashion magazines and international art galleries. This will be the largest solo exhibition he has had in the UK to date and includes images from his recent book Daily Weeding (NOTE NOTE ÉDITIONS).
The intertwined stories in this exhibition are intimate records of the photographer’s daily routes and routines, over the past few months and years: mainly Newcastle, sometimes as far as Sunderland. (Self-) imposed constraints: this neighbourhood, this demolition ground, here now, this short metro journey, this corner of a studio. My friends and family. Time and again. He shares his photographic fascinations, orchestrating a weave of images, narratives that connect but don’t cohere. Impatient of any notion of photographic objectivity, his ‘here’ is compellingly subjective. It’s how he sees and maps the world photographically. Limitation as possibility.
