“I wanted something porous, a polymeric structure where the voice, agency, geography, and temporality of others collude to produce a more compelling version of the world.” This Synthetic Moment, an exhibition curated by artist David Hartt at David Nolan Gallery​, brings together a diverse selection of artists using photography as a means to assert a strong sense of identity.

From 18 January. Find out more: www.davidnolangallery.com.
