Hello and welcome to beautiful The Main Event – Competition in Contemporary Art.

Julie Henry

For Going Down, 2000 Julie Henry spent nine months at Crystal Palace during their last season in the Premiership. Her striking photographs show the full range of emotions (hope, euphoria, loss and eventual ‘death’) the fans experienced during the club’s dismal season. Presented as a kind of hymn, with accompanying song sheets, this work presents the extreme actions and reactions of supporters in a quasi-religious fashion.
