This show of works by the New Delhi Raqs Media Collective is one of two exhibitions to mark the re-opening of the Photographers Gallery on 19th May 2012. Photography fans will be queuing up to see the results of the gallery's two-year closure for a ?8.9 million redevelopment which began in autumn 2010. The show, created by the Delhi-based artists Jeebesh Bagchi, Monica Narula and Shuddhabrata Sengupta, includes a silent looped video projection of a photograph by James Waterhouse, of surveyors working in Calcutta in 1911. Running in parallel at the gallery, a solo exhibition of photographs by Edward Burtynsky reveals his 10-year investigation into oil.
