The forth in a series of five exhibitions of the GAC at Whitechapel and the first chosen by 'ordinary people', in this case staff at 10 Downing Street. Each previous show was chosen by the 'great and the good' but unfortunately this one suffers in comparison and is just a little bit dull. It lacks the curatical flair of that selected by the artist Cornelia Parker or the interesting comparison of the selections of MP's to your prior assumptions of them.
To be fair there are some interesting pictures that caught my eye, I especially liked these photos by Seamus Nicolson which show ordinary, everyday situations of urban life. By the use of the darkness of the night and the artificial light of the shops they produce a beauty that you wouldn't expect.
