Two years ago The Hayward in London showcased an inspirational collection of photographs by Alexander Rodchenko. After sifting through old research and finding some copies of his pictures, they seem relevant once again. His point of view certainly is...
"In order to educate man to a new longing, everyday familiar objects must be shown to him with totally unexpected perspectives, and in unexpected situations."
Previously unseen photographs by Russian artist Alexander Rodchenko, held in private hands until now, will be unveiled at newly branded Art Sensus on 21 January 2011 - http://www.artsensus.com/
Rodchenkos idea was to make the commonplace exeptional and the exeptional appear commonplace. Some years ago I made a film about this very subject. Good to see Rodchenko's work in the public eye again especially those photographs which have rarely been see.
