Born in 1977, Carr studied Printmaking at Winchester School of Art between 1996 and 1999. Past exhibitions include Time, Burghley House, 2007; Making Visible, Charleston Farmhouse, part of Brighton Photo Fringe 2006; the house next door, Bedford, 2006; Bad Quality, SATES touring, 2003/4; Barbican Through the Looking Glass, London, 2002; The Value Of Straight Thinking, Old Museum Arts Centre, Belfast and DNA, The Spitz Gallery, London, 2001.
Carr’s practice is predominantly photographic based and his work is often produced in direct response to a particular place or situation. Generally documentary in style, the concepts and inspiration behind his photographs are the product of background research and develop from the experience of being in a place. Past investigations have taken place at the Barbican Centre, London, the new town development of Milton Keynes and at Willingdon Community School as part of the In+Visible project.
“As one of the artists from the first stage, I have been able to see first hand the positive impact the project has had on the pupils, the school and the wider community so far. My new role as documentary photographer will allow me to closely follow all aspects of the project. I therefore have the opportunity to not only observe but also learn the necessary skills with which to deliver a successful large-scale public art commission, very important to any early career artist.”
