The Gate Darkroom

No Maps for What We Know, Goldsmiths, 10–15 Nov 2017

When does one need a map, if not when in unfamiliar territory or a foreign land?The photographers of the Gate Darkroom are going through a buoyant transition, having recently moved into their new home by the river, in Woolwich. Between the Royal Iris shipwreck and the plastic moulding factory they are navi-gating a new territory, listening to the river, and searching for light. Memories will help them remember where they came from, and clues found on the way will lead them into an unknown landscape. Elements of information appear and disappear; names are edited out, new lines are marked and realities shift They will explore processes of mapping, shared experience, contours, boundaries, pathways, and inhabiting the urban edgelands.
