The third instalment of Richard Saltoun Gallery’s four-part exhibition series on British Conceptual art features the works of British filmmakers Tony Morgan and John Blake. “Some Dimensions Of My Lunch: Conceptual Art In Britain” opens on July 29 and will be on view through August 26.

This is being exhibited for the first time, and comprises 49 pages of typewritten text and 21 black and white photographs. The book attempts to decipher daily activities with relation to society.John Blake, like Morgan, tried to establish a connection between the landscape and his movements. The camera became a tool of documentation during his explorations. "Untitled (M Panorama)," 1968-69, is an example of Blake changing the shape and size of the subject as he changes his own vantage point.The exhibition brings together these two creative filmmakers through their remarkable use of film, and re-establishes Tony Morgan and John Blake as conceptual artists.The London-based gallery is showcasing a total of four month-long exhibitions dedicated to Conceptual art in Britain during the 1960s and 1970s.
