Detail
A retrospective exhibition across two venues – Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens and Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art – exploring 40 years of work by renowned British photographer Ian Macdonald. Ian Macdonald has spent four decades recording life, working class communities, industry (and its decline) and the landscape of the North East of England since the late 1960’s. A master printmaker, Macdonald has sensitively documented the overwhelming pace of change faced by the North East during a sustained period of deindustrialisation and social upheaval which accelerated through the late 1970s and 1980s.
