People I Care About Mario Cresci until 19 December 2026 Back at the gallery after a great day at Frieze and Frieze Masters yesterday. Today is the first day of Mario Cresci’s show ‘People I Care About’ after a wonderful opening on Saturday, thank you all for coming ! "In 1967, Cresci traveled from the North to the South of Italy with a multidisciplinary group of urban planners, architects, and sociologists from Venice, where Cresci had shaped his vision according to a multi-disciplinary school of industrial design. The group, Il Politecnico, settled in the town of Tricarico, in Basilicata, to develop its first masterplan. The culture of this project transcended earlier perceptions of the Southern territory as primitive and marginal, and instead, implicated the local farmers to speak their minds. No longer the passive victims of numerous documentary photographs taken in the Italian South in the postwar years, the local inhabitants contributed to a pragmatic method that supported their work and interaction with the land." Antonella Pelizzari We are open Thursday-Saturday, 11am - 6pm, stop by for a visit ! #Tricarico #MarioCresci #PeopleICareAbout @antonella_pelizzari_ Image: Installation view: ‘People I Care About’, Mario Cresci at Large Glass, London photo: Stephen White and Co taken in Large Glass Gallery by @largeglassgallery

If in the area of Ravenna, go and see this wonderful exhibition in Bagnacavallo, of a certain school of photography, led by Guido Guidi and his contemporaries... IN PONTA D’PI Officina romagnola @nicola_baldazzi / @veronicalanconelli, Davide Baldrati, @cesareballardini, @feelies67 Michele Buda, @aledragoni_ , Cesare Fabbri, @marsgalvani, Luca Gambi, @_francescagardini, @guido_guidi_fotografia, Gianluca Liverani, @francesconeri___ , @luca.nostri , @raffaelli.photographer , Giovanni Zaffagnini. Curated by Silvia Loddo @osservatoriofotografico e Davide Caroli @museocivicobagnacavallo Civico delle Cappuccine. IN PONTA D’PI is a line from a poem by Nevio Spadoni. It was chosen as the exhibition title by Davide Caroli and Silvia Loddo because it reflects a shared approach among the fifteen featured artists. All of them belong, in one way or another, to what can be defined as a Romagna school of photography, which has achieved extraordinary results through the research of photographers across different generations. Serving as both a master and, above all, a fellow traveler to them all was Guido Guidi, now internationally recognized as one of the most important contemporary photographers, both for his tireless research and his teaching career, carried out primarily between Ravenna and Venice.

People I Care About Mario Cresci 10 October - 19 December 2026 Opening 10 October 5-7pm Large Glass is delighted to present ‘People I Care About’, Italian artist Mario Cresci's second solo exhibition at the gallery. The exhibition focuses on a series of images made in Tricarico, a town and comune in the province of Matera, Italy, between 1966 and 1967. At the time sociologists and intellectuals were drawn to this Southern Italian region, inspired by the writings of Carlo Levi and the anthropological research of Ernesto De Martino. These portraits are part of a significant body of work that documents this area and its people and Cresci's own relationships to them. "Like the traces left by a contemporary migrant, the works in this exhibition are signs of a human encounter with multiple geographies and media. The camera for Mario Cresci is equivalent to a brush, a felt pen, and a charcoal, in its continuous writing and rewriting of an experience, in the reframing of an action, the recuperation of an absence, and the imaginative games with memory," writes Antonella Pelizzari in her accompanying text. Running alongside Cresci’s London exhibition, 'People I Care About', Matèria gallery in Rome (@materia_gallery_rome) will present 'I luoghi del possibile' from 3 October to 5 December. Please note our new opening hours are from Thursday - Saturday, 11am-6pm! #Tricarico #MarioCresci #PeopleICareAbout @antonella_pelizzari_ @mario_cresci_42 Image: Mario Cresci, ‘Assemblea contadina, dalla serie Interni mossi, Tricarico 1966-67’, 1967 Gelatin silver print on Baryta paper from a 6x6cm b/w neg., 46.5 x 37 cm ©Mario Cresci Design: Tom Mower @tommower taken in Large Glass Gallery by @largeglassgallery

To mark the end of our 15th anniversary group show, Rumours, we share the final video from our series Artists on Artists: The Physical World, in which Alison Turnbull talks about the inspiration for her painting ‘Hubble 276’ (2024). The painting and series was inspired by an image made using the Hubble Space Telescope, sent to her by an artist friend, Trevor Shearer. The works that she discusses in this video first showed together in the exhibition ‘Universal Fragments’ at Large Glass in 2014, and have come full circle, to feature together again in our current show 12 years later. @Alison.turnbull22 #alisonturnbull #rumours #trevorshearer #artistsonartists by @largeglassgallery

Today is the LAST DAY! Thank you all for your enthusiasm, visits and repeat visits ! Our final post dedicated to a work currently on display in our 15th anniversary show, Rumours, is … 5. Alison Turnbull, Hubble 276, 2024 Oil and acrylic on canvas on board 48 x 54 x 3 cm Exhibited in: The Edge of Forever, 2025 The Hubble image is a composite image made by astronomers from 2,000 different images from the Hubble Space Telescope. At the time, it was the deepest image of space in existence. “When Hubble peered through sky gaps, probing ever more deeply into space and farther back in time, it still did not come to the end — or the beginning — of either. Enmeshed in infinities, scientists and artists conjure with the universe from within the narrow confines of the human body. They apply mathematics and imagination. They hear the music of the spheres.” [Dava Sobel, press release] Come and visit us today, we are open until 6pm, don’t miss! #Rumours #15thAnniversary #largeglassgallery #AlisonTurnbull #DavaSobel #hubbletelescope Image 2 and 3: Installation view of ‘Rumours’, 2026 Installation view of ‘The Edge of Forever’, with Emma McNally, 2025 photos: Stephen White and Co. taken in Large Glass Gallery by @largeglassgallery

LAST DAYS and the last posts dedicated to a work currently on display in our 15th anniversary show, Rumours. Today’s work is … 6. Jeff McMillan, Biblio (GRT), 2017 Indian ink on Japanese paper Framed 78 x 61.4 x 4cm Exhibited in: Five Easy Pieces, 2017 Biblio is a series of works on paper, made using a library of formative books the artist shipped from America to the U.K. in the late 1990s, largely monographs of influential 20th century painters. McMillan wraps a carefully selected book in paper before dipping it in ink or oil paint to create each new work, in this case a copy of Gerhard Richter Text.

LAST DAYS and last posts dedicated to a work currently on display in our 15th anniversary show, Rumours. For the gallery’s inauguration in 2011 writer Deborah Levy wrote wonderful captions for some of the objects on display, including this one … 40. Jacques Adnet, Magazine Rack, 1940s Iron, leather 57.7 x 29.2 x 33 cm Exhibited in: Inauguration, 2011 Water Bird: culture, nature, industry – this swan has eaten a lawnmower: it is in part a machine. It moves quietly and slowly, but it will not be returned to water - it is returned instead to language, to the magazines and newspapers that are its wings.

Saturday, the last of the week's posts dedicated to a work currently on display in our 15th Anniversary show, Rumours. Today’s work is… 7. Emma McNally, DR, 2012 Carbon, acrylic on paper 83.5 x 63.5 x 4 cm Exhibited in: Time Spirals: Vanessa Billy, Emma McNally, 2023 “With this drawing, as with all my work, I was thinking about inseparability. There seems to be an in between, a threshold with two bands of dark compressed matter across the top and bottom. But the gap is filled and traversed by matter moving. I’m always thinking about the movement of carbon and water, entangled, non linear. Here there is the cycling of states of matter: rain, mist, smoke, cloud, signal, noise, without separation or border. A sort of interfacial layer where states are not distinct: they mix and merge.”[Emma McNally, DR] Come and visit us, we are open Wednesday-Saturday 11am-6pm! #Rumours #15thAnniversary #largeglassgallery #drawing #EmmaMcNally Image 2: Installation view of ‘Time Spirals: Vanessa Billy, Emma McNally’, 2023 Image 3: Installation view of ‘Time Spirals: Vanessa Billy, Emma McNally’, 2023 Image 4: Installation view of ‘Rumours’, 2026 photos: Stephen White and Co. taken in Large Glass Gallery by @largeglassgallery

We are entering the final round of posts dedicated to a work currently on display in our 15th Anniversary show, Rumours. Keep looking ! Today’s work is… 1. Hélène Binet, St George’s, Bloomsbury (02), Nicholas Hawksmoor, 2013 Gelatin silver print on paper Framed 60 x 48.5 x 4 cm Exhibited in: Time After Time, 2019; A Coin in Nine Hands: Part One, 2017 This exquisite print was made by Binet in her North London darkroom. It exemplifies the difference between analogue and digital printing. The double shadow is a deep black, revealing just enough light to make out the stonework of this 18th-century London church, built by Nicholas Hawksmoor. To quote Nicholas Hawksmoor, as channelled through Peter Ackroyd's novel Hawksmoor: 'I make no mention that in each of my churches I put a sign so that he who sees the fabric may also see the shadow of the reality of which it is the pattern or figure.' Binet's photograph captures this mystery perfectly.
