London Event

An ESCP Europe Alumni Association Event

Hot on the success of the Ghosts of Gone Birds exhibition, where we hosted our annual alumni party in London, comes another invitation to join fellow art-loving alumni, this time to view the Flaere Gallery's latest show: The Bigger Picture - A.A. Gill and Tom Craig.

The event will be free to members of the ESCP Europe Alumni Association. There will be a small fee of €10 payable by non-subscribers and friends.

Registration is required for this event. To book your place, please contact Shireen Fraser.

From the Flaere Gallery website:
"From Svalbard to Chad, photographer Tom Craig and writer A.A. Gill have travelled together on assignments across four continents in the last eight years. Flaere Gallery brings together 20 unseen photographs by Tom Craig with accompanying text by A.A. Gill.

"On their travels, the two connect the dots between disparate worlds - from life on a North Sea trawler to the glaciers of Greenland; encountering Tasmanian devils, Haitian hotspots and cricket matches on the streets of St Paul's.

"In his writing, A.A. Gill often alights on the modest object, fact or observation and through it unfolds a story that speaks volubly about that place in that time. Tom Craig's photographs create the visual counterpoint, exposing the essence of people and places they come across.

"This is a personal story told twice; a collaboration between a writer and a photographer that demonstrates how two perspectives and two media tell such a different story from the same scene - and how together they make the narrative so much the richer."
