Four travel-related photographs were selected for Transmission: Photography & the Postcard – a section of the group show Transition. Postcards from the artists appeared alongside photographic prints.

Following a call for entries, the photographs were sent as postcards to the show's curator Mark Adams.

The concept behind this exhibition is a response to the fact that photography as a cultural activity is increasingly becoming a medium of exchange between individuals – a form of dialogue or message. Conversations take place on social media platforms such as instagram and snapchat that use photographic images as a short hand – an alternative to the convention of linguistic communication.

The picture postcard provides a range of functions – its utilitarian nature facilitates the transmission of messages from distant destinations experienced by the traveler, holidaymaker. This format of display has also become a popular promotional tool for artists. The postcard functions as a tool for communication of linguistic messages yet also carries an aesthetic value and has a strong connection with place or placelessness.
