EXHIBITION: Lens + Form: Richard Tandler and Liz Woolf

Quadrant Gallery presents the photography of Richard Tandler, emigre designer and avant-garde photographer, paired with the sculptural work of Richard's daughter Liz Woolf.

The photographs come from recently digitised archives completed by Meher Bahl of Restore Conservation Services, who recently digitised the Miles Lewis Built Heritage Collection in conjunction with ABP Library.

Tandler was prolific, with well over 1000 photographs in his collection. The photographs in the exhibition were taken from the 1920s in Europe until his departure to Australia in 1938, and throughout Melbourne and Victoria in the 1940s-50s. Tandler was an early adopter of 3D and stereoscopic photography and some of his work in this medium will be presented with 3D glasses and an oculus.

Tandler's story is one of many emigre narratives documented in ACAHUCH's New Horizons exhibition in 2023.
