The name really does say it all - the Photographers' Gallery is a collective of thirteen photographers, all of whom exhibit on the premises. They also exhibit the works of non-members throughout the year, as well as hold lectures and other events. The founders strive to keep photography a wide and varied medium, without subjecting it to any artistic - or other - limitations.
The Zen Foto Gallery was opened in September 2009 with the aim of promoting Chinese contemporary photography. It also collaborates with its sister-gallery in Beijing in a bid to build bridges between Japanese and Chinese photographers. Check website for details on upcoming exhibitions.
