Selected
The Flower Show
The Flower Show at Livingspace invites viewers into a kaleidoscope of imagery where the ephemeral beauty of flowers intersects with the entropic realities of our world. Curated by Monte Clark, the exhibition includes artwork by Roy Arden, Karin Bubaš, Greg Girard, Owen Kydd, Stephen Waddell, Jeff Wall, Carleton Watkins, Walker Evans, Karl Blossfeldt, and Robert Frank – the collection captures the delicate balance between creation and decay. The selected works span serene and unsettling imagery, celebrating the vibrant triumph of blossoms while embracing the quiet forces of their inevitable unravelling.
As winter’s chill recedes, spring emerges with a gentle promise of renewal, painting the world in vibrant hues. The Chelsea Flower Show in London – often described as the “Olympics of flower festivals” – marks the start of the floral season. This celebrated annual event transforms its iconic grounds into a riot of colour and fragrance, showcasing the latest trends in horticulture. The meticulous displays evoke a sense of inspiration and rejuvenation, inviting visitors to wander through lush landscapes filled with blooming tulips, fragrant roses, and whimsical wildflowers. Yet, amidst the vibrant chaos, a haunting reminder of fragility lingers – flowers wilting, petals falling, and beneath the surface, a poignant recognition of impermanence.
Livingspace, a renowned purveyor of modern design, is pleased to partner with Monte Clark to present The Flower Show as part of the 2025 Capture Photography Festival. This collaboration blends art and design, creating an immersive environment where visitors can engage with the photographs as part of a thoughtfully curated experience. The exhibition invites guests to embark on a self-guided journey, with docent-led tours available on select dates throughout the exhibition.
