The Bradford Fellowship 2010/11
Gallery One: 30 September 2011 – 19 February 2012
Magnum photographer, Donovan Wylie, is one of Britain's most talented artists. His photographs provide a revealing and visually compelling record of modern military architecture. This exhibition features a new series of his work made while embedded with Canadian forces in Afghanistan and is the product of a unique collaboration between this Museum and the Imperial
War Museum.
Wylie's new work, Outposts, continues to interrogate the architecture of conflict
and derives from the idea of vision and power, contextualized in themes of
history and impermanence.
The Bradford Fellowship is a partnership between the University of Bradford, Bradford College and the National Media Museum. The Fellowship is a prestigious award, given to mid-career photographers or artists to develop their professional practice in the context of our Collection.
