The Places Between 18th January 2010 - 30th January 2010 Jeremy Curl : The Places Between Exhibition dates: Monday, 18th January - Saturday, 30th January 2010. Weekdays: 8.45am - 6.00pm. Weekends by appointment only. Jeremy Curl is an explorer and photographer who has always set out to illustrate lives far removed from his own. He has a deep interest in indigenous people who have proudly continued their way of life despite the spectre of encroaching globalisation. This pride in one’s identity is what has always lured Jeremy abroad, to find the thrill of another world that is unlike our own and to use it as a mirror in which we can see our own life. In 2008, Jeremy crossed the Sahara with the Touareg tribes that live there, photographing their harsh way of life and the bitter skirmishes they fight that is currently splintering the Sahara. He covered two thousand kilometres on foot and by camel, arriving in Timbuktu after crossing the Tanezrouft, the most arid part of the Sahara that the Touareg call the “Land of Terror”, becoming the first non-African in living memory to do so. He also became the youngest to traverse the Sahara, unsupported and without motorised transport. Jeremy started his career by navigating the Potaro River to the Kaieteur Falls with the Amerindians of the Amazon. Since then, he has worked in the middle East, most notably Iran and Kurdistan, and throughout Asia and Africa. In Cuba he interviewed the Castro family about Cuba’s political future. He has most recently returned from photographing the break-away republic Transnistria, a frozen conflict zone between Moldova and the Ukraine. The exhibition will echo these unique places in a body of work spanning the last three years. Jeremy was born in 1982 in Japan, and read History at Utrecht University, The Netherlands and Lund University, Sweden. His articles and photographs have been published in a number of national and international magazines. His Saharan expedition is the subject of his recent book “Amongst the Touareg”. In 2009 Jeremy was nominated for a Rolex Award for Exploration and Discovery. Enquiries to: info@jeremycurl.com view images>
