  • 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. For more information, please contact the Archive at [email protected]

The exhibitions open to the public on the 7th of July. Tom Wood’s photographs of Cammell Laird Shipyard in Birkenhead taken between 1993 and 1996 were originally commissioned by the Documentary Photography Archive (DPA) to capture a definitive phase in the social and political history of the region. This is only the second time that these photographs of the Laird ’s Shipyard have been shown as a body of work. The exhibition also includes Wood and Quayle’s research and presentation of archive material related to the history of the shipyard, drawn from the Williamson’s own collection and that at Wirral Archives. Wood was commissioned by the DPA to photograph the working lives of the men who built the ships and the shipyard prior to its closure after 170 years in Birkenhead.

I thrill to the magic of it—silver crystals like constellations of stars arranging on film. In the negative the whole world reverses, my black dress turned white, my skin blackened to pitch. Inside out, I said thinking of what I’ve tried to hide. I follow him now, watch him take pictures. I look at what he can see through his lens and what he cannot—silverfish behind the walls, the yellow tint of a faded bruise— other things here, what the camera misses.

  • Contemporary Group Journal View from the Chair First, Congratulations Are Due to Nigel Tooby on an Excellent Fellowship in the Form of a Book
    Number 48 Summer 2012 Contemporary Group Journal View from the Chair First, congratulations are due to Nigel Tooby on an excellent Fellowship in the form of a book. I mentioned the details of his book in our first Contemporary Group online newsletter which was launched in June. The E-News is a way of informing you of things which may not find their way into the Contemporary Journal, either through lack of space or because the timing is wrong. It will also be possible to promote members exhibitions, gallery exhibitions, books of interest or Regional events. Please let me know if you have anything of interest that you would like others to know about, or if you have any suggestions which may improve it. It will be sent out mid-way between the Journals and the next one should appear during the second week in September. There are proposals for a Yorkshire/North-East Group; there was considerable interest shown for this at the Contemporary Group meeting in April in Bradford. Nigel Tooby has volunteered to organise it, and the meetings will also be open to non-RPS members. If you are interested please email me and I will forward contact details to Nigel. Tickets are still available for Contrasting Contemporary in Plymouth,10-11 November. This event is in conjunction with the SouthWest Region and, as with our events,it is open to all RPS members, as well as those who are not, but who are interested in photography. The speakers confirmed are Homer Sykes, Sian Bonnell Hon FRPS, Daniel Meadows HonFRPS and SophyRickett.

In 2007 we invited Tom to give a talk on his work for BA Photography students at the University of Chester. This led to a relationship, which has continued with Wood’s long term contribution as a visiting member of staff. Around 2012 Wood invited me to work towards the publication of The DPA Work.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Martin Parr is a chronicler of our age. In the face of the constantly growing flood of images released by the media, his photographs offer us the opportunity to see the world from his unique perspective. At first glance, his photographs seem exaggerated or even grotesque. The motifs he chooses are strange, the colours are garish and the perspectives are unusual. Parr's term for the overwhelming power of published images is "propaganda". He counters this propaganda with his own chosen weapons: criticism, seduction and humour. As a result, his photographs are original and entertaining, accessible and understandable. But at the same time they show us in a penetrating way that we live, how we present ourselves to others, and what we value. Leisure, consumption and communication are the concepts that this British photographer has been researching for several decades now on his worldwide travels. In the process, he examines national characteristics and international phenomena to find out how valid they are as symbols that will help future generations to understand our cultural peculiarities. Parr enables us to see things that have seemed familiar to us in a completely new way. In this way he creates his own image of society, which allows us to combine an analysis of the visible signs of globalisation with unusual visual experiences. In his photos, Parr juxtaposes specific images with universal ones without resolving the contradictions. Individual characteristics are accepted and eccentricities are treasured. The themes Parr selects and his inimitable treatment of them set him apart as a photographer whose work involves the creation of extensive series.

  • Press Release3 Tom Wood Family Likeness
    PRESS RELEASE Family Likeness Tom Wood From November 6th to December 14th 2019 Series Mother, Daughters, Sisters. Red Head diagonale, 1984 Analog dark room type print, size 55 x 65 cm, 2019 ©Tom WOOD courtesy galerie Sit Down After the great success of the exhibition Mothers, Daughters, Sisters this summer at the Rencontres d'Arles and the publication of the eponymous book by Les éditions Textuel, it’s now with Family Likeness, that Tom Wood’s work is honoured in this new exhibition at Sit Down gallery. To the triangle of mothers, daughters, sisters is added that of father, son and in particular brothers. Some vernacular photos of the filial relation belonging to the personal collection of Tom Wood punctuate the hanging. From the early seventies to the present day, Tom Wood has been photographing untiringly generations of Liverpool’s citizens in the street, the bus, at work and at play. Known as the “Photie Man“ by Liverpudlians, Tom Wood transcends photographic practice, wishing to know and to connect with people; there emerges a true complicity with the photographer, a clear connection in their confident looks oriented toward the camera lens. The philosopher Wittgenstein spoke of the understanding which consists of 'seeing connections'. "Just as we see a face differently when you look at it, first as an expression of happiness then as an expression of pride". He once admonished a friend, "you don't take enough notice of peoples faces... it is a fault you ought to correct"! A real tribute to women, men, families and to human nature, Tom Wood demonstrates again and again, a truly human look on the human.

  • December 21, 2002 Tom Wood's Second Solo
    PRESS RELEASE TOM WOOD THE BUS PROJECT, 1979 - 1996 September 9 - November 4, 2000 Opening: Saturday, September 9, 6-9pm Thomas Erben is very pleased to open his 2000/1 season with TOM WOOD’s The Bus Project. This body of work, built up during Wood’s near 20 year odyssey photographing from local buses in Liverpool, was praised by Lee Friedlander:”...as good a set of pictures that one sees every five or ten years, if you’re lucky.” Born in 1951, Wood together with Paul Graham and Martin Parr represent the first generation of British fine art color photography. Their work informed and influenced what has become The New Wave of Photography in Britain of the past 10 years (Richard Billingham, Paul Seawright, Hannah Starkey, Wolfgang Tillmans ...). Although Wood has been exclusively photographing in Liverpool, his primary interest is not documentary. Trained as a painter at the conceptually oriented Leicester Polytechnic from 1973-76, his first exploration of lens based media was through extensive viewing of experimental films.
