This week

摘要

Opening this week at Newcastle Gateshead's Baltic is Dan Holdsworth's Blackout, a series of 2m-wide C-type prints taken in Iceland (pictured). It's one of several shows of large-scale landscape photography this year. Previously on show at Patricia Low Contemporary in Geneva, Blackout continues the themes Holdsworth explored in his 2006 series Hyperborea, also shot in Iceland, which captured the aurora borealis. But here he jettisons that series' lurid colour: the sky is pitch, the jagged mountains captured in black, whites and greys.
