It was out of love for the actress Ingrid Bergman that Robert Capa took Magnum’s very first photo of cinema, on the set of Alfred Hitchcock’s Notorious, inaugurating the relationship between the agency and the world of films. Using original, unseen stories and interviews, Cinema Through the Eye of Magnum depicts this relationship over 70 years. It is a confrontation of two seemingly opposite worlds: fiction and reality, and a unique look behind the scenes of cinema in the making. From the Golden Age of Hollywood to its eventual decline, Europe’s Nouvelle Vague to the birth of the blockbuster, the story of Magnum is the story of cinema itself.

    January 15–March 3, 2013 Curated by noted artist and photographic historian Deborah Willis, Posing Beauty explores the ways in which African and African American beauty has been represented in historical and contemporary contexts through a diverse range of media including photography, video, fashion, and advertising. Beauty in Essays by Western art and image-making has long been idealized and contested, and the College relationship between beauty and art has become increasingly complex within of Wooster contemporary art and popular culture. Student The first of three conceptual themes in the exhibition, Constructing a Pose, Research considers the interplay between the historical and the contemporary, between Contributors self-representation and imposed representation, and the relationship between subject and photographer. The second theme, Body & Image, questions the ways in which our contemporary understanding of beauty has been constructed and framed through the body. The final theme, Modeling Beauty & Beauty Contests, invites us to reflect upon the ambiguities of beauty, its impact on mass culture and individuals, and how the display of beauty affects the ways in which we see and interpret the world and ourselves. Artists represented in this exhibition of over 85 works include, among others: Ifetayo Abdus-Salam; Eve Arnold; Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe; Thomas P O S I N G Askew; Anthony Barboza; Sheila Pree Bright; Renee Cox; Edward Curtis; Bruce Davidson; Lola Flash; Leonard Freed; Lee Friedlander; Timothy Greenfield- Sanders; Charles “Teenie” Harris; Builder Levy; Jamel Shabazz; Mickalene BEAUTY Thomas; Carrie Mae Weems; and Garry Winogrand.

    Impact case study (REF3b Institution: UNIVERSITY OF THE ARTS LONDON Unit of Assessment: 34 Title of case study: Photography and the Archive Research Centre (PARC) at the University of the Arts London 1. Summary of the impact Researchers at the Photography and the Archive Research Centre (PARC) study the practice and products of photography in terms of both artistic importance and social relevance, recognising photography’s many roles including its presence in: the art world; reportage; autobiographical practice; and in social and political education. This case study demonstrates PARC’s impact on cultural life via the production of work and curatorial practice, bringing new insights, challenging assumptions, and raising awareness of the role of photographic practice in the public realm. 2. Underpinning research The Centre’s underpinning research is represented by work undertaken at UAL by Professors Val Williams (PARC Director) and Tom Hunter, Brigitte Lardinois (PARC Deputy Director), Jananne Al- Ani (Research Fellow), and Paul Lowe (Course Director, MA Photojournalism and Documentary Photography). Shared research strands include: the history and culture of photography; photojournalism; the documentation of war and conflict; visualization of under-represented groups and issues; social and political relevance of photography; and an exploration of the boundaries between documentation and fiction. Williams’ work on the history and practice of photography in Britain has exposed previously under researched histories. Martin Parr: Photographic Works, Barbican (2002) was the first exhibition to assess Parr’s photographs as a complete body of work. It was threaded with a detailed narrative of Parr’s personal and professional history and set within the broader context of British post-1970 photography.
