Anderson & Low: Voyages
Atmospheric exhibition at the Science Museum of photographs by Anderson & Low of the museum’s ship collection in its protective dust sheets. The close perspective on these pictures along with the smoky finish made the models feel like ships emerging from the mist. They had a Turner like quality and the mistiness made you look more closely at the detail of the hulls and rigging. I liked the ones in battle formation. It was a nice touch to add interesting quotes on the walls but otherwise just leave the pictures to speak for themselves. I loved the Proust quote “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” Closes on 25 June 2017 Review Evening Standard
