‘Resolution is not the point.’ reflects the increasing desire to collaborate amongst artists as they push conceptual and technical boundaries of image-making, reaching beyond their own specialisms and drawing on the circulation of images, knowledge, and resources.
Genesis are once again delighted to support the fair, now celebrating its 30th year, as a sponsor of the curated photography exhibition Photo50.
