Jeremy Kidd is a British-born contemporary artist, who does paintings, sculptures, installation art, and photography. In the early eighties, when Kidd was in art school, he was given the assignment to photographically document a walk through a park using multiple shots to convey the scene. This and David Hockney's collages gave him the idea to manipulate digital photography via Photoshop in a similar way, but to take it one step further by blending and molding these shots together. Hence, he created Day through Night transitional works with uneven outlines that reflected the reassembly of many images, as seen in his piece Desert to Palm (2004), the first one of this series, which was inspired by the poem Ariel by Sylvia Plath and shown in a group exhibition “Crazy Thoughts Have Quick Wings” at Cirrus Gallery, curated by art critic Eve Wood. This new approach in photography was also presented in his one-person shows, including “Fictional Realities” at Laguna Art Museum, CA 2007, “Hyper Architectural Typologies” at UCR, the California Museum of Photography, University of California Riverside, CA, 2008 and “Fictional Realities” at Fahey Klein Gallery, CA.

Critics have described 1:54 as a highlight of the Frieze event, and wrote that the show's publicity for contemporary African art outweighs the issues of lumping disparate geographic traditions together. The fair's representation from African galleries has improved as the international market for African art expands.
