It is a place to get through, a place on the way to somewhere else. Of course, it could be argued that there is a certain reality to all of this. After all, the Elephant has one of the most transitory populations in London. Many do not settle here for long. Even the people who live here are on the move. The buildings look sharp And a photographer who but the people are blurred could set the time exposure into traces of movement, as on her camera for a century if they were ghosts.

Abstract The aim of my research is to demonstrate how a practice of hand made books based on the materiality of the photographic print and photo-reprography, could engage with notions of touch in the digital age. We take for granted that most artists’ books are made from paper using lithography and bound in the codex form, yet this technology has served neither producer nor reader well. As Hayles (2002:22) observed: We are not generally accustomed to thinking about the book as a material metaphor, but in fact it is an artifact whose physical properties and historical usage structure our interactions with it in ways obvious and subtle.

In just a few years at the start of the 20th century, Britain changed in unimaginable ways. From the first foray into aviation, to the invention of labour-saving devices for the home, to the rise of “the brand”, and the birth of not only “the High Street”, but also of the “commuter class”, mass consumerism and tabloid journalism, the Edwardians lived lives not too distant from our own. This new BBC Four season investigates, interrogates and celebrates the richness and excitement of this pioneering and world-changing time. 01 bbc_four_Autmun_2006.qxd:Layout 1 16/1/07 10:42 Page 5 The season includes some of the era’s best-known names, from literary giants such as George and Weedon Grossmith and Saki, to the doyenne of the music hall, Marie Lloyd. Along the way, it also uncovers lesser-known figures. It hears about trailblazers in the fields of social reform, journalism, photography, entrepreneurship and technical invention, uncovering what it really felt like to be Edwardian. Dramas The season launches with Andrew Davies’s brilliant, two-part adaptation of the classic comedy novel The Diary Of A In a compelling drama about the life of one of the biggest stars Nobody, starring Hugh Bonneville as the wonderfully of the time, Marie Lloyd – starring Jessie Wallace as Marie – pompous diarist Mr Charles Pooter – the Victor Meldrew of the season exposes the seedy underbelly of this peculiarly his day – Edwardian entertainment.

Gleason, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin Oshkosh [email protected] Abstract This study analyzes Martin Parr’s 2006 photobook, Mexico. Parr is a British documentary photographer best known for a direct photographic style that reflects upon “Englishness.” Mexico is his attempt to understand this foreign country via his camera. Mexico, as a research subject, is not a problem to solve but an opportunity to understand a photographer’s work. Parr’s Mexico photography (technique, photographic content, and interest in globalization, economics, and culture) is compared to his previous work to explain how Parr uses fashion and icons to represent a culture or class.

BBC One Moves Away from Circles, Towards 'Oneness'
BBC One Moves Away From Circles, Towards 'Oneness' 01.30.2017 Whether it's hippos swimming in a loop, the top of a lighthouse, or children holding hands while playing "ring around the roses," British viewers have gotten very used to seeing circles on their screens. For a decade, anyone tuning into BBC One - the British broadcaster's original and still most popular channel - will have seen its iconic loops, hoops and rings in between shows. But inevitably the time has come for a change, and something of a re-brand. On New Year's Eve the ident was finally retired, to be replaced by something completely new. The brief: to update BBC One with the times and, says Charlotte Moore, director of BBC Content, to ensure that the channel is fit to "evolve creatively." Cue a major challenge to the BBC's in-house agency, BBC Creative, to come up with something bold and new to bring the BBC up with modern times. For BBC Creative, it was one of the first big tests since its inception in February 2016, after the corporation's outsourced contract with Red Bee Media had run its course and the decision was made to bring the work back in house. Under the leadership of director Justin Bairamian, the team set about finding the right creative vision - one which captured the diversity of modern Britain in an original way and promoted a sense of shared identity and of people coming together as one. It was out of this spirit that theme was found and a title for the new ident was born: "Oneness." The next and crucial step was getting the right creative mind on board.

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.

Editor. “alec soth’s guide to photography.” I-D. October 24, 2019. Dance N Style. Sandusky, OH. Alec Soth. Photography Alec Soth / Magnum Photos Last year, Magnum introduced its first ever online photography course. With contributions from Bruce Gilden, Martin Parr, Susan Meiselas, Richard Kalvar, Carolyn Drake, Peter van Agtmael and Mark Power -- arguably seven of the biggest names working right now -- ‘The Art of Street Photography’ was perhaps the most prestigious access the internet had to offer in photography education for less than $100. “Like many industries there is an urgent need for greater diversity within the photographic industry,” Shannon Ghannam, Magnum’s Global Education Director, said at the time. “We are committed to developing and giving a platform to diverse voices and perspectives through our educational programming around the world.” Following the success of the course, and the positive feedback it received, this month Magnum launch their second edition: ‘Alec Soth: Photographic Storytelling’. Alec, the legendary photographer from Minneapolis -- famed for his startling vignettes of midwestern life and still, baron landscapes -- gives a 19- lesson breakdown via video in what he believes are the key skills to succeed. From his own creative journey to the more granular details of editing, the course aims to give an broad introduction to set any budding photographer’s wheels in motion, or help a more experienced artist hone their skills further. Ahead of its launch, we had a quick chat with Alec to find out more about his photographic journey. Melissa, Flamingo Inn. Canada. What was your first introduction to photography?
