In 2014 GRAIN Photography Hub and the Library of Birmingham approached artist Mat Collishaw, creator of spectacularly crushed butterflies, corrupted, syphilitic flora, and monumental, dark zoetropes, to respond to the rich photography archive held at the Library.
Album 31, produced by GRAIN and the Library of Birmingham, is a collaboration between artists Sophy Rickett and Bettina von Zwehl. The exhibition developed from a commission which saw the two artists responding to ‘Album 31’ a miscellaneous album by Sir Benjamin Stone.
