Martin Parr takes a look at Finnishness

Laboratory’s constantly evolving exhibition programme features work by both Finnish and international artists. The opening exhibition is British photographer Martin Parr’s eye-opening Think of Finland (February 10 – April 8, 2012).

Parr’s exhibition presents a never-before-seen body of work from the internationally renowned photographer and member of the Magnum Photos agency. In August 2011 Parr travelled between Helsinki in the south and Oulu in the north, capturing images of Finns and the Finnish way of life. The photographs depict Finns without sentimentality but with warmth and tenderness.

“I have long been fascinated by Finland, since I was Professor of Photography at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki in the early 90s, so how good to have this chance to return with my camera and create a new body of work,” Parr says. “The Finns are a delightfully quirky people, so I wanted to show this and also the tension between tradition and modernity.”

A making of film on Martin Parr’s journey across Finland will be screened at the gallery during the exhibition.

IN ADORATION: FIVE YEARS WITH BARCELONA

Whether they are your team or not, we shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that we are enjoying football during the time of one of the world’s greatest ever club sides.  Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona deserve their place in any list of finest teams and London based photography firm Diver and Aguilar have been with the Catalan club throughout the current golden era:

“When we first started documenting FC Barcelona in the Autumn of 2007, We had little idea of what was to be the beginning of a journey that would see us witness a series of events that will be remembered as a historic era in world club football, the achievements of which will see this team compared to the best, arguably the world’s greatest player. These pictures document the astonishing achievements of the team of Josep Guardiola, including three back to back La-Liga titles, twice winners of the Champions League and Fifa World Club Cup.”

We’ve a wonderful gallery for you featuring some of Diver and Aguilar’s best Barcelona moments, and you can see that here.
