Special thanks to Val Williams. xii Foreword book like Langford’s Basic Photography is a fantastic introduction to a wonderful subject. I can’t see how my life could have been anywhere near as full or as rich as it has been A without photography. It’s been everything to me, the electricity in my life, the way to communicate with people, to fall in love, to vent my displeasure at the world, to articulate every fibre of my feeling. Photographing has allowed me to express all of this and to make some sense of it. Photography’s power is as a passport: it gives you permission to participate in a whole series of situations in life that you wouldn’t be allowed in normally. Whether it’s a car crash or a presidential election, society immediately accepts you into this event because you are a photographer.

Seven exhibitions, an installation open to the public, as well as events and experimental workshops, will cover the history of photography from the end of the 19th century to today. This new programme reflects different photographic approaches and styles, with a selection of works from around the world that explore everyday life and its banality. DOSSIER PRESSE Throughout her career, photographer Lisette Model never ceased to affirm the importance of the individual perspective, in both her work and her teaching. The Institut pour la photographie pays tribute to her with a new exhibition bringing together four great figures of American photography around of her work: Leon Levinstein, Diane Arbus, Rosalind Fox Solomon and Mary Ellen Mark. Since 2017, Laura Henno has immersed herself in the lost city of Slab City in the heart of the Californian desert. The Institute supports the artist, who comes from the Region, with the production of previously unpublished prints for this new exhibition project Radical Devotion. Thomas Struth gives us a glimpse of our relationship to everyday life through a documentary approach that is carefully crafted to reveal the complexity of the ordinary. Begun in 1986, his psychological and sociological portraits of families revisit the traditional genre of family portraiture.

  • TPG Exhibition List
    Exhibition History 1971 - present The following list is a record of exhibitions held at The Photographers' Gallery, London since its opening in January 1971. Exhibitions and a selection of other activities and events organised by the Print Sales, the Education Department and the Digital Programme (including the Media Wall) are listed. Please note: The archive collection is continually being catalogued and new material is discovered. This list will be updated intermittently to reflect this. It is for this reason that some exhibitions have more detail than others. Exhibitions listed as archival may contain uncredited worKs and artists. With this in mind, please be aware of the following when using the list for research purposes: – Foyer exhibitions were usually mounted last minute, and therefore there are no complete records of these brief exhibitions, where records exist they have been included in this list – The Bookstall Gallery was a small space in the bookshop, it went on to become the Print Room, and is also listed as Print Room Sales – VideoSpin was a brief series of worKs by video artists exhibited in the bookshop beginning in December 1999 – Gaps in exhibitions coincide with building and development worKs – Where beginning and end dates are the same, the exact dates have yet to be confirmed as the information is not currently available For complete accuracy, information should be verified against primary source documents in the Archive at the Photographers' Gallery.

  • Press Release Spitting James Hyman Gallery
    PRESSRELEASE SpiBng: Photographs by Andrew Bruce & Anna Fox 22nd April - 8th May 2015 In the lead-up to the UK General Elec4on in May, James Hyman Gallery presents Sping: Photographs by Andrew Bruce & Anna Fox, an exhibi4on of never-before seen photographs by acclaimed Bri+sh documentary photographer Anna Fox and rising star Andrew Bruce. One of the most popular television programmes of the 1980s and 1990s, watched by an audience of 15 million people at its peak, Sping Image was a Bri4sh sarical show featuring puppet caricatures of prominent celebri4es of the 4me, including internaonal poli4cians and the Bri4sh Royal Family, among others. The series was cancelled in 1996, but remains a seminal piece of Bri4sh television. It has recently been announced that a brand new six-part series, en4tled Newzoids and featuring modern-day personali4es such as Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and Russell Brand, will air in 2015. On the terminaon of the original series, James Hyman began to acquire some of the most important puppets used in the show for his private art collec4on, the Hyman Collec4on. A life-long fan of Sping Image, Hyman believes that the life-size puppets should con4nue to be seen and enjoyed, and is delighted to be collaborang with photographers Fox and Bruce to bring these poli4cians back into the public eye in this important elec4on year. Echoing the garish photographs made by Sping Image creators Peter Fluck and Roger Law before Mar4n Lambie-Nairn approached them to suggest adap4ng their creaons for television, Fox and Bruce spent weeks in the studio working with a selec4on of the original puppets, craing these ominous images.

  • Hepworth Wakefield Press Release
    MODERN NATURE / BRITISH PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE HYMAN COLLECTION 13 July 2018 – 22 April 2019 FREE ADMISSION Daniel Meadows National Portrait (Three Boys and a Pigeon) 1974 ‘From the deep indigo and black scarlets of the industrial heart we sailed through the unimaginable beauty of unspoiled countryside. These conflicting landscapes really shaped, I think, my whole life.’ - Barbara Hepworth on growing up in Wakefield For the first time in human history, more people are living in urban environments than in the countryside, yet the impulse to seek out nature remains as strong as ever. This new exhibition of photographs by leading British photographers such as Shirley Baker, Bill Brandt, Anna Fox, Chris Killip, Martin Parr and Tony Ray-Jones explores our evolving relationship with the natural world and how this shapes individuals and communities. Drawn from the collection of Claire and James Hyman, which comprises more than 3,000 photographs ranging from conceptual compositions to documentary-style works, Modern Nature will include around 60 photographs taken since the end of the Second World War, through the beginnings of de-industrialisation to the present day. It will explore the merging of urban and rural landscapes, the rapid expansion of cities and the increasingly intrusive management of the countryside. Rather than present a Romantic dichotomy between the rural and the urban, the exhibition presents a more contemporary sensibility that is frequently situated in the edgelands, the often scruffy margins, in which town blurs with countryside. A number of photographs on display, including The Caravan Gallery’s quizzical views of urban centres and Chris Shaw’s ‘Weeds of Wallasey’ series (2007–12), capture the ways in which nature infiltrates the city.

September 2021 um 11 Uhr zur Pressevorbesichtigung der Ausstellung Facing Britain. Britische Dokumentarfotografie seit den 1960er-Jahren (04.09.21-09.01.22) am Steubenplatz 1, 64293 Darmstadt ein. Als Gesprächspartner erwarten Sie: Karin Wolff, Geschäftsführerin, Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain Ralph Goertz, Kurator der Ausstellung Dr. León Krempel, Direktor der Kunsthalle Darmstadt Im Anschluss besteht Möglichkeit zur Vorbesichtigung der Ausstellung Helga Weihs. Rebuild Darmstadt im Studio West der Kunsthalle Darmstadt (04.09.-26.09.21), wo Ihnen Dr. León Krempel als Gesprächspartner zur Verfügung steht. Um Anmeldung zum Pressetermin wird verbindlich gebeten bis zum 1. September 2021 per E-Mail an [email protected]. Die Kunsthalle Darmstadt freut sich auf Ihr Kommen! Über die Ausstellung Facing Britain Facing Britain vereint erstmals nahezu alle wichtigen Vertreter/innen der britischen Dokumentarfotografie in einer großen Überblicksausstel- lung außerhalb Großbritanniens. Längst vergessene oder erst in den letzten Jahren wiederentdeckte Positionen wie John Myers, Tish Murtha oder Peter Mitchell werden neben Arbeiten von Weltstars wie Martin Parr gezeigt. Die Schau bietet neue Einblicke in die mit Kontinentaleuropa und Nordamerika verflochtenen, aber auch besonderen Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der Fotografie in England, Schottland, Irland und Wales. Das Dokumentarische erweist sich als eine der großen Stärken der britischen Fotografie, die einen Teil Europas im Wandel überaus facettenreich, überraschend und dabei künstlerisch originell abzubilden vermag. Als zeitliche Klammer für Facing Britain wurde daher bewusst die Spanne vom ersten Versuch Großbritanniens, Teil der Europäischen Wirtschafts- gemeinschaft zu werden, bis zum Austritt aus der Europäischen Union 1963-2020 gewählt.

  • New Year/New Work Images from Nine Photographers
    NEW YEAR/NEW WORK IMAGES FROM NINE PHOTOGRAPHERS DAVID BRIERS ON PAUL BEAUCHAMP AND CALUM COLVIN AT CHAPTER IAN WALKER REVIEWS THE REPHOTOGRAPHIC SURVEY SWAN SONG With this issue of Creative Camera I am resigning as Publisher and Editor. It has been 4 News & Views more than 21 years and the magazine has passed through innumerable financial crises in Eileen Pilkington those years. I simply feel that as I approach my sixtieth birthday I wish to concentrate more on the things that I enjoy doing; taking photographs, writing articles, doing 7 Current Comment/ research, and even perhaps getting paid for it. In the last few years the work I have been doing is more and more that of a Publisher and less and less of that of an Editor. The Esther Samra future would seem to indicate only more of the same. I think that the work has got to be done now by a younger man and perhaps someone more specialised in business 8 Still Life/Review procedures. Keith Robinson Some of the issues, particularly the double issues, where I have been able to exercise my talents have been greatly enjoyable, even if largely unrewarded. The fact that they have been so well received augers well for my future. I cannot pretend to share the same 10 Paul Beauchamp and Calum amount of enthusiasm for all forms of photography and it seems sometimes to me as Colvin/Review David Briers though the increasing academic influence on contemporary photography is in danger of replacing the taking of photographs with talking about them.

Three months later I can safely say it was successfully launched by Nigel Tooby FRPS on 15 September. Nigel has thirty-eight members on his email list and twenty three attended the inaugural meeting, with apologies from those who were unable to attend. The group is likely to undertake a wide variety of activities and these were discussed at the meeting in the context of members’ aspirations. As a start, five members of those present agreed to show their work at the next meeting, View from the Chair Avril Harris ARPS 2 which will be on Saturday, 17 November in the Hampshire Room, Strensall Village Hall, Strensall, York YO32 5AW Editorial Patricia Ann Ruddle ARPS 4 between 2 and 5 pm.
