SUMMARY:'Gibraltar As Seen by Five Artists' curated by Philippa Beale
DESCRIPTION:Gibraltar As Seen By Five Artists \n\n\nPaul Cosquieri | Shane Dalmedo | Nina Danino | Carolina Santos Floriano | Karl Ullger \n\n\ncurated by Philippa Beale \n\n17-28 October 2017\nPhillippa Beale\, an English artist and curator\, has chosen Paul Cosquieri\, Shane Dalmedo\, Nina Danino\, Carolina Santos Floriano and Karl Ullger\, to showcase their work on Gibraltar. \nThe exhibition highlights the individual agendas of these five artists whose work\, when viewed collectively\, reveals a highly topical and polemical narrative towards the current political and economic situation in Gibraltar after the Brexit referendum. \nFor 300 years\, Gibraltar has guarded the Straits and loyally stuck to Britain. Culturally European and Llanito speaking\, what it means to be Gibraltarian is a curious phenomenon. The language is derived from Spanish\, influenced by Andalusian Spanish and English\, with an extended vocabulary taken from Genoese\, Hebrew\, Maltese and Portuguese. Gibraltarians call themselves Llanitos\, recognising the hybridity of their culture and language\, which in the spoken form involves peppering their language with English using a code – something only they can understand. \nThe current Socialist-Labour Government leads an entirely multi-cultural society. Gibraltar has now become a byword for tolerance\, as about a third of the population are either Jewish\, Muslim or Catholic. Unity and respect for the mores of each culture prevails. \nHere\, council flats are by the sea and the richer live up the Rock. The climate is tropical but the cultural events are Anglo-Saxon; comprising of theatre\, Book-Fairs\, Royal Academy exhibitions and a National Art Gallery showing the work of great Gibraltarians with Spanish and Italian names. It is a humane place to live\, where the government truly looks after its people; the epitome of ‘small is beautiful’ and as Solomon Levi\, the first Mayor of the Gibraltar\, says it is an\, ‘example to the world’. \n[row][one_col] \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[/one_col][/row] \nPaul Cosquieri  \nGrowing up in Gibraltar has been crucial in defining my painting style in more ways than one. Living in a closed frontier Gibraltar meant that one could not get away from the shadow of the omnipresent and imposing limestone Rock and its sheer physicality. \nCarolina Santos Floriano \nThe different perspectives offered by the landscape of the Campo de Gibraltar have always made me think about the peculiarity of this territory\, and it is precisely this reflection that has served as an inspiration for my last project. \nShane Dalmedo \nThe subject of my work is mostly I would say to be an exploration into the human condition; and toys\, dolls\, ornaments and objects are a very important part of my expressive language. I feel that these retain their own energy. They are keepers of stories and secrets and so they add their own language to mine when I use them in my work to form a new dialogue. \nKarl Ullger \nMy life is in Gibraltar\, where over 90 per cent of us voted to remain in Europe. For us living in a totally multi cultural\, multi religious society\, where we eat and drink and trade with Europe and Europeans all the time; the very idea of Brexit is perplexing. We do not understand why Britain our mentor and Alma Mater would want to leave and so my current work is all about this dilemma\, this schizophrenic situation in which we Gibraltarians find ourselves. \nNina Danino \nMany of my works draw from inter-subjective experiences\, cultural references\, geography and a sense of place. Gibraltar is an entry point to the local\, the regional and to the wider Mediterranean from where I can travel out as far out as I want. \nCatalogue Available \n

SUMMARY:'The Hemming and Marr Show'
DESCRIPTION:The Hemming and Marr Show \nRecent Paintings  \n3-14 October 2017 \nAdrian Hemming on Andrew Marr \nI FIRST ENCOUNTERED Andrew (or rather I didn’t but used to observe him)\, rapt with attention\, painting on Primrose Hill and I knew that the last thing an artist wants in those situations is a twat like me interrupting him to say: ‘Hi\, you must be Andrew Marr’. A time and a place for everything. So\, finally I did meet him and he kindly invited me to his studio. It was a revelation. I could see and sense that it was the start of a serious\, momentous\, lifetime journey. I don’t mean the physical journey he has had to endure but I mean the journey that all artists undertake if they are truly going to call themselves artists. Yes\, it’s difficult\, of course the journey is obscure\, it’s about many\, many\, things. It’s about seeing inside one’s self and the world around us\, it’s not just surface detail. \nHe works in oil paint on canvas and board. His subjects are abstract motifs and shapes\, floating on highly coloured backgrounds. They gain their excitement and visual energy from the push and pull of object to colour\, each fighting for balance and/or dominance. However\, he doesn’t slavishly copy other artist’s; he wants to distil the imagery from his own sensibility and the world around him to create a truthful comment on himself. \nHe is pushing his own work so that the look and feel of the paint is a big part of the message. It has to be sensuous. It has to be alive. There is a sense that the painting process is almost like being in psychoanalysis\, there are deep layers of unconsciousness that you constantly try to understand it’s both deeply satisfying and deeply disturbing at the same time. \n  \nAndrew Marr on Adrian Hemming \nPAINTING IS\, necessarily\, a solitary occupation. Everything that matters most about it takes place silently\, in the brain of the painter. In the studio\, when the hard work is being done\, the silence is absolute. And yet every painter needs to talk – needs help\, needs criticism\, needs a frank and knowing friendship. So\, when I began to try to paint seriously\, after I had suffered a stroke\, Adrian Hemming’s friendship was both wonderful luck and a lifeline. He comes into the studio\, raises a quizzical eyebrow\, perhaps shakes his head about something that had pleased me\, and quietly\, gently\, suggests other directions I might follow. \nI always call Adrian\, with a slight note of jealousy in my voice\, ‘a proper painter’. Unlike me\, he has gone through a full and rigorous training. He has devoted his entire life since teenage hood\, to mastering pigment and surface\, design and meaning. And\, by God\, it shows! \n  \nAlthough when we talk we mainly talk about the craft and physicality of painting – about pigments\, bristles\, different oils and glazes – Adrian Hemming is a philosophical painter\, much concerned with myth\, the environment and the nature of perception. Above all he is trying to answer the most difficult and important question painters’ face\, which is simply: ‘what should fresh painting look like in 2017?’ \nWhen I am painting badly\, I drive myself into a rage. But when I am painting well\, I feel full of delight. A big part of that delight has come about thanks to the calm\, wise friendship\, and peaceable advice given to me by Adrian Hemming. A lesser man would have tried to encourage me to paint just is like him: Adrian has helped me to paint like me\, only better – a much harder task. As you observe these pictures\, I hope you see the story of an artistic friendship too. \n  \nExcerpts from the exhibition catalogue.

SUMMARY:Dafydd Jones 'A Weekend in Washington - January 2017'
DESCRIPTION:Dafydd Jones  \nA Weekend in Washington – January 2017 \n19-23 September 2017\n  \nI travelled to Washington for the weekend of the Trump Inauguration. -What was later called the inauguration that wasn’t. \nEverywhere there were protestors. Protestors intermingled with the supporters. -It was impossilbe for Trump supporters not to notice the protestors. Lone people holding signs and large groups. Some entrances were impassable for demonstrators although there were Trump supporters queuing next to demonstrators. Many people had come from all over the country to demonstrate. One elderley couple one with a zimmer frame had travelled from San Francisco. – Along with all the people who were working in some capacity or other they padded out the numbers. The guys selling Trump flags didn’t seem to be doing very well. Only ponchos were selling as it was raining slightly… There was a subdued almost miserable atmosphere. One religious group holding banners were just about the most unpleasant people I saw. \nThe next day If the crowds in the subway were anything to go by\, there were 3 times as many on the womens march. It was moving and inspiring because of the protestors. On the flight back to London I was sitting next to a mother and her daughters who had travelled from London for the women’s march. \nThe pictures are more about the mood of Americans. I’ve been experimenting with doing traditional silver gelatin darkroom prints of my digital pictures which will be exhibited.. Because I lose some detail in the process the black and white silver gelatin prints have a rough directness. \n[row][one_col] \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[/one_col][/row]

SUMMARY:Chris Floyd 'You Rise\, Then You're Gone'
DESCRIPTION:You Rise\, Then You’re Gone \n\n  \n\nThe Verve: Photographs by Chris Floyd \n\n\n5-16 September 2017 \n\nIt has been two decades since the colossal success of The Verve’s era-defining Urban Hymns\, and it remains one of the biggest selling British albums of all time. You Rise\, Then You’re Gone is an exhibition by the photographer Chris Floyd who was embedded with the band in late 1996 and 1997\, following an initial assignment in 1994. He documented the recording\, touring and promoting of the album in the UK\, Ireland and the USA – the only photographer to have such access. When Chris Floyd met The Verve in 1994\, they were playing to crowds of a hundred. A mere four years later\, they sold out a 33\,000 gig at Haigh Hall in their hometown of Wigan. The majority of these photographs have never been seen before. \nThis body of work is a celebration of a band that\, momentarily\, looked like they were set to become one of the biggest rock and roll bands in the world. As Floyd reflects: “For a while it felt like being at the centre of the universe. . . . We were in a brief golden era\, when it looked like the world was unshackling itself and beginning to develop a more advanced and progressive attitude. We seemed to be in a decade that had taken a holiday from history. I am grateful and thankful that I got to live out my twenties in such a fertile\, peaceful and creative period.” His images take us  back to a time before the explosion of the internet\, smartphones and social media. \nIn celebration of the 20th anniversary of Urban Hymns\, Chris Floyd is presenting his photographs in this exhibition alongside a book entitled The Verve: Photographs by Chris Floyd (the first time his photographs of that era to be published). \nUrban Hymns was The Verve’s third album; it was released by HUT Records on 29 September 1997\, and featured hits\, ‘The Drugs Don’t Work’\, ‘Lucky Man’\, and ‘Bittersweet Symphony’ – the song that won the band a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Song. The Verve won two Brit Awards in 1998\, including one for Best British Group\, and were twice on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. \nThe exhibition and book release coincide with the release in September 2017 of new Super Deluxe versions of Urban Hymns on 5CD / DVD and 3 double-vinyl (6LP) box set editions. Both sets contain rare and unreleased recordings. \nChris Floyd is a British photographer and filmmaker. His photographic work has appeared in publications including Vogue\, Vanity Fair\, The New Yorker\, Harper’s Bazaar\, GQ\, Esquire\, The New York Times Magazine\, The Sunday Times Magazine and Wallpaper* among others. He has shot advertising campaigns for Apple\, British Airways\, Sony and Philips and has been selected several times for the National Portrait Gallery’s Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize and the annual publication American Photography. Chris’s attention to the subtleties of mood\, texture\, emotion\, light and colour is what binds his aesthetic and attitude into a coherent and unique style. In a career that has spanned over 20 years\, he believes that the most important aspect of his working method is his ability to establish a level of collaboration and ease with his subject that allows him to engender intimacy and empathy within the frame. \nArt Bermondsey Project Space  \nA non-profit independent gallery sponsored by Olympus\, part of a Cultural Initiative Programme in association with State Magazine.

SUMMARY:Martina Govindraj - Travelling Light – Wander More
DESCRIPTION:TRAVELLING LIGHT – WANDER MORE\nDrawn to geometric architecture and the often ignored design that surrounds everyday life\, OLYMPUS Ambassador Martina Govindraj aims to use her latest exhibition\, Travelling Light – Wander More to explore the idea of isolation and our connection to mobile technology in densely populated urban spaces. \nThis unique exhibition consists of a selection of stunning architecturally-focused shots\, all captured on the bustling streets of Shanghai. In preparation for her trip\, Martina packed her E-M1 Mark II and 2 lenses. She challenged herself to travel with as little camera gear as possible with the intention of blending in and becoming invisible while shooting in one of the busiest cities in the world. \nMartina (also known as @YesZebra) is a self taught photographer. Photography became a major part of her life following the purchase of her first SLR camera from a second hand shop at age 16. Having invested heavily over the years in DSLR equipment but simply fed up of her cumbersome camera gear\, she decided to switch to a Micro Four Thirds camera in 2015 and never looked back.

SUMMARY:Anything Goes? | Contemporary British Painting
DESCRIPTION:Anything Goes?  \n\n\nContemporary British Painting \n\n\nAn Exhibition of Works by Members of Contemporary British Painting \n\n\n Selected by Anna McNay \n\n\n\n25 July – 5 August 2017 \n\nDespite\, and perhaps because of\, the global\, mass and social medial world in which it exists\, contemporary British painting is and remains something complexly personal\, defined as much by its breadth and multiple individualities as by any pervading style or theory. This exhibition\, drawn from the work of members of the Contemporary British Painting group\, does not seek to define what might well be an undefinable beast. In part an open call salon and in part curated according to the tastes of art writer and editor Anna McNay\, it brings together a variety of works to combat the all too pervasive false transmission of painting as reproduction (be it printed or digital) and to put paintings as objects in and of themselves out there to be experienced by the public. The mixture of figurative and abstract (and everything in between)\, mixed media\, mixed scale\, textured versus smooth and flat\, representational versus whimsically imagined\, is a result both of the members’ varied outputs and McNay’s own eclectic taste. Is it a case of anything goes? Almost certainly not\, but perhaps only time – and hindsight – will tell. While common themes and methods can of course be noted\, those that will persist – and survive – in 30 years’ time might only be guessed at. For now\, this is painting as a living example of the real in a time of the unreal. \nArtists include: Day Bowman\, Marco Cali\, Ruth Calland\, Simon Carter\, Lucy Cox\, Andrew Crane\, Pen Dalton\, Lisa Denyer\, Annabel Dover\, Natalie Dowse\, Fiona Eastwood\, Wendy Elia\, Terry Greene\, Susan Gunn\, Susie Hamilton\, Alex Hanna\, Marguerite Horner\, Barbara Howey\, Phil Illingworth\, Sue Kennington\, Matthew Krishanu\, Andrew Litten\, Cathy Lomax\, Paula MacArthur\, Enzo Marra\, Nick Middleton\, Paul Newman\, Stephen Newton\, Gideon Pain\, Mandy Payne\, Ruth Philo\, Freya Purdue\, James Quin\, Katherine Russell\, Wendy Saunders\, Ehryn Torrell\, Judith Tucker\, Sean Williams \nAbout Contemporary British Painting: \nContemporary British Painting is an invitation-only\, artist-led organisation\, which explores and promotes current trends in British painting through group exhibitions\, talks\, publications and the donation of paintings to art museums. \nTwitter: @paintbritain \nAbout Anna McNay: \nAnna McNay is an art writer and editor based in London.

SUMMARY:Jasper Wilkins 'Gorkha: in focus'
DESCRIPTION:Gorkha: in focus \n\n\nDocumenting livelihoods in a changing climate by Jasper Wilkins \n \nGorkha is based west of Kathmandu\, Nepal and was the epicentre of the 2015 earthquake killing nearly 9000 people and destroying thousands of houses and businesses. This project explores stories of hope in a rural community located in Gorkha and demonstrates the importance of environmental awareness through exploring individual stories of how climate change effects rural communities. \n  \nJasper Wilkins\, Olympus Ambassador and documentary photographer is passionate about culture\, nature and communication and has recently spent three months working as a team leader in 2017 within Khadka Gaun\, Gorkha\, focusing on income generating projects for Raleigh International and was inspired by the generosity\, kindness and integrity of the people he encountered in this beautiful place. In 2016\, Jasper created an environmental organisation called ‘In Focus’ that provides creative content for companies and NGO’s focusing on environmental sustainability.

SUMMARY:Marilyn Stafford | Stories in Pictures 1950 - 1960
DESCRIPTION:Lucy Bell Fine Art Presents\nMarilyn Stafford\nStories in Pictures\n1950-1960\n“I have always been fond of stories\, listening to them\, telling them\, performing them\, singing them. One way or another my life has been that of an observer and story teller” \nPhoto-journalist Marilyn Stafford\, who now lives in West Sussex\, was born in Cleveland Ohio\, in 1925. She originally trained as an actress\, at the age of 7 she was scouted to train at the Cleveland Play House Theatre\, along with big names like Paul Newman. She then studied drama at university and went to New York to act\, finding work off Broadway and in television. \nHer photographic career began in New York in 1948 when she was asked to photograph Albert Einstein for friends who were making a documentary about him. \n“The director gave me a camera and said you are going to be the photographer. I said I didn’t know how to take pictures. I had only taken them on a Brownie. So\, in the car from New York to New Jersey\, I learned how to use it.” \nThis single experience set her on her future path. She went on to assist Francesco Scavullo\, a controversial fashion photographer whose work has been published widely including in Vogue and Cosmopolitan \n“I was not really interested in that kind of photography\, but that was where you could earn a living as a woman. I was interested in telling stories in pictures and showing the world to people as I saw it\, maybe to make them see something and then act on it or enjoy it.” \nIn December 1948 Marilyn moved to Paris briefly singing with an ensemble at Chez Carrère near the Champs Elysees\, and photographing for a Fashion PR Company. At the club she met Edith Piaf and also became friends with Robert Capa and during this period she was also introduced by her life-long friend the Indian writer Mulk Raj Anand to Henri Cartier-Bresson who encouraged her photographic career. \n“I often went out photographing with Cartier-Bresson – the time I photographed him\, was at a household and appliance exhibition at the Grand Palais” \nMarilyn photographed the neighbourhoods of the Bastille and Boulogne-Billancourt and her images of children from Cité Lesage-Bullourde near the Place de la Bastille are a very rare insight into the street children living in one of the city’s notorious slums. Demolished in 1984\, it is now the site of the Paris Opera Bastille. Some of the negatives have been lost\, but thanks to modern technology Robin Bell the renowned darkroom printer has created new negs and printed these historically important images for the first time in 67 years\, creating an edition of silver gelatin prints. \n“I did these pictures long before I met Cartier-Bresson\, I never showed them to him as I was very shy\, but I felt honoured that he let me tag along\, it was only after taking the Algerian pictures that I prevailed on him to help me select the pictures\, that I would then send over to the Observer. These became the first front page pictures I had published” \nIn 1958 Marilyn Stafford travelled to Tunisia to document the Algerian refugees fleeing France’s ‘Scorched Earth’ attacks. Marilyn was 5 months pregnant when she took these pictures. \n“It was harrowing and as far as I am concerned\, the picture I loved most is of a refugee mother holding this poor little infant. That image meant more than anything else. I wanted to do a story about the refugees\, I believe that documentary work should raise social issues\, and was very happy when other photographers and journalists were commissioned to go out and record the situation\, as I had brought the issue to wider attention” \nThe exhibition also features Marilyn’s pioneering photographs\, where\, for the first time\, she took models out of the studio and chic salons into the streets of Paris\, using a photo-documentary style to her fashion shots. In the mid-sixties Marilyn Stafford settled in London\, where\, along with Fay Godwin\, Sally Soames\, and Jane Bown \, she helped pave the way for future female photographers working on Fleet Street. Marilyn Staffords commitment to supporting female documentary photographers continues today with the launch of the Marilyn Stafford FotoReportage Award Launched in Spring 2017 in Association with FotoDocument. \nRobin Bell who has printed for many of the world’s top photographers and archives\, including Bill Brandt\, Norman Parkinson\, Ernst Haas and David Bailey says of the work \n“I often feel lucky to be doing the thing that I do and sometimes I get double lucky; this is one of those occasions. Lucy and Marilyn invited me to curate and print approximately 40 images\, some of the chosen images no longer have negs\, but thanks to a combination of new and old technology\, modern silver gelatin prints have been made. Marilyn’s pictures have warmth\, perception\, humour and technical skill and do the trick that all good photos do\, which is transport one to another world and time\, evoking nostalgia\, surprise \,empathy and wonder in equal measure.”

SUMMARY:The Douglas Brothers | SEE - SAW
DESCRIPTION:The Douglas Brothers \nSEE/SAW \nThe collaborative accomplishments of double visionaries \n13-24 JUNE \n\n\n\nLOST ICONS TO GO ON EXHIBITION THIS SUMMER \nRecovered historical portraits of leading British cultural figures – including Dame Judi Dench\, Daniel-Day Lewis\, Damon Albarn\, Kenneth Branagh\, Ronnie Wood and Morrissey – will be exhibited in London in June. \nThe photographs\, taken by The Douglas Brothers\, were lost for over 20 years. Some have never been seen before. They will go on show for the first time this summer. \nThe Douglas Brothers – real-life siblings Stuart and Andrew – spent a decade photograph leading figures from the worlds of art\, literature\, film\, music\, sport and fashion. \nThe Douglas Brothers signature style is considered highly influential. Sabina Gaskot-Gill from the National Portrait Gallery described it as “work that shaped the course of photography for a decade.” \nAfter the brothers left the UK to make films\, their stills work sat gathering dust for two decades in a disused storage unit and came very close to being lost forever. \nThe Douglas Brothers distinctive image making extended beyond portraiture and into abstract\, collage\, still-life\, reportage\, nudes and fashion. \nPhotos spanning the entire spectrum of this remarkable body of work will go on show at Art Bermondsey Project Space in London on June 15th in a show entitled SEE/SAW. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n[row][one_col] \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[/one_col][/row]

SUMMARY:Camera Press at 70 - A Lifetime in Pictures
DESCRIPTION:Camera Press at 70 – A Lifetime in Pictures \nCurated by Emma Blau \nInternationally renowned photographic agency Camera Press celebrates its 70th anniversary this year with a special exhibition entitled ‘Camera Press at 70 – A Lifetime in Pictures’ which will coincide with Photo London 2017. Drawing on an unparalleled collection of images\, and featuring work by some of the most iconic figures in the industry\, this exhibition offers a fascinating insight into photography from the 1940s to the present day. \nOn display will be the work of photographic legends such as Yousuf Karsh\, who was the first photographer signed to the agency\, Cecil Beaton\, Baron and Jane Bown through to contemporary names that include John Swannell\, Jason Bell\, Jillian Edelstein\, Chris Floyd and Laura Pannack. \nCamera Press was founded in London in 1947\, the same year that the young Princess Elizabeth wed Prince Philip. The very first photographs distributed by the agency were of the wedding of the future Queen and the link to official royal photography has continued to the present day: special portraits of Princess Diana\, The Queen’s Jubilee and the christening of Prince George will all feature in the show. \nThe British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) is also celebrating its 70th anniversary this year and Camera Press is proud to represent their exclusive portrait portfolio; a selection of these stunning images will shine a light on leading actors from the worlds of TV and film. \nThe exhibition will also include photographs by three generations of the Blau Family: founder Tom Blau\, his son Jon and granddaughter Emma. \n\n\n\n\nEstrellita Karsh: In 1947 Tom Blau invited Yousuf to be Camera Press’ first contributing photographer; at that time both were on the threshold of ever greater careers: Karsh as the photographer of the great men and women of the 20th Century and Tom Blau as the head of the prestigious photo agency; over the years both grew together in friendship and in achievement. Today\, though my husband and Tom are no longer with us\, that bond has strengthened\, and the warmth and dedication my husband witnessed in the new agency all those years ago continues to flourish thanks to Camera Press’ expert and loyal staff\, and Tom Blau’s family. I could not hope for any better custodians of the Karsh legacy and I wish them every success for the future. \nEmma Blau: Celebrating our 70th anniversary is a real milestone: Camera Press remains not only family owned but also one of the last independent photographic agencies in existence. We are indebted to the photographers whose work Camera Press has represented over the past seven decades; it is they who are ultimately responsible for our continued success in the photographic industry. Their exceptional images\, both past and present\, which are showcased in this exhibition have played a significant part in shaping the history of photography. Camera Press is very proud of our role in contributing to the landscape of modern and contemporary photography since being founded by my grandfather Tom Blau in 1947. \nExhibition Info \nThe photographs in this exhibition reveal the changing trends in portrait photography as well as the evolution of the role of celebrities and distinguished public figures over the last 70 years. \nThe more formal studio portraits of the 1940s such as Karsh’s iconic bulldog shot of Winston Churchill are followed by 1950s Hollywood glamour epitomized by stars such as Marilyn Monroe. The swinging Sixties heralds the influence of a more relaxed\, intimate\, documentry-style of photography\, as seen in Jacques Lowe’s seminal photographs of JFK and the work of one of the world’s first paparazzi\, Elio Sorci. This is then contrasted with the gritty social-realism of punk and the arrival of Margaret Thatcher in the 1970s. \nWhilst the flamboyant 80s saw pop superstars take centre stage with the birth of MTV-culture; the 90s was the decade of cool Britannia\, of Brit Pop heroes Oasis and Blur and the rise of supermodels and ‘It Girls’. Noughties images of British icons Amy Winehouse\, and Dames Judi Dench and Helen Mirren round off the exhibition in tandem with many of the biggest names in sport\, entertainment and fashion. \nContextualizing this impressive collection of portraiture are arresting social documentary images from Camera Press’ archives\, as well as a fascinating visual exploration of fashion through the decades. \nAbout Camera Press\nCamera Press was founded in London in 1947 by Tom Blau\, a Jewish Hungarian photographer and reporter born in Berlin and exiled from Nazi Germany in 1935. It is one of the world’s leading independent picture agencies with a long and distinguished history. The agency represents the work of iconic photographers as well as modern masters. Its archive covers portraiture\, past and present\, news and entertainment\, as well as music and fashion. \nAbout BAFTA\nThe British Academy of Film and Television Arts is an independent charity that supports\, develops and promotes the art forms of the moving image by identifying and rewarding excellence\, inspiring practitioners and benefiting the public.\nBAFTA has been building a collection of bespoke portraiture and reportage photography since 2007\, working with leading international photographers to produce some of the finest images of talent working in the moving image industries and to document their world-renowned Awards ceremonies\nIn addition to its Awards ceremonies\, BAFTA has a year-round programme of learning events and initiatives – featuring workshops\, masterclasses\, scholarships\, lectures and mentoring schemes – in the UK\, USA and Asia; it offers unique access to the world’s most inspiring talent and connects with a global audience of all ages and backgrounds.

Xhibit 2017 will provide a snapshot of just some of the talent that has helped affirm UAL as a world leader in creative education.\nFrom a mixed media installation exploring the lack of individualism across social media\, to photography questioning ethical eating\, and illustration demonstrating the way modern women’s bodies are portrayed – each artist has been hand selected by an expert panel of artists\, curators and creative industry professionals.\n  \nJoining the judging panel is UAL Chancellor and Turner Prize winner\, Grayson Perry\, who describes this year’s Xhibit collection as: \n“Stylish. A lot of the work has real panache. It’s good to see that young people still surprise you and do stuff that you might want to look at again. I was looking for artists who showed dedication\, application and skill. And for those that had visual poetry. \nPeople need to come to Xhibit to take the temperature of where young people are at. That’s what I’m interested in – for my own selfish purposes! I’m curious about what’s going on in the young collective mind.” \n\n  \nTo celebrate its 20th anniversary\, Xhibit is also proud to have partnered with leading digital media company\, Refinery29.

SUMMARY:Tony McGee " Within A Split Second"
DESCRIPTION:Tony McGee \n\n\nWithin A Split Second  \n\n\n28 March – 15 April \n\n\nBoxing is music? Ballet is music? \nBoxing and ballet are photogenic\, that there is no argument. \nC’mon then get in to the ring of life\, stand toe to toe with your own humility and then dance inside the shadows of your opponents fears. Bowie\, Muhammed Ali\, Michael Jackson\, Rocky Marciano\, Mayweather and Sugar Ray Robinson etc\, they all possessed this beautiful “movement” and technique that has fascinated me for all of my photographic life. \nSpeeding bullets\, racing cars\, horses\, airplanes\, anything that moves fast; these are the things that I want to photograph. “Caught” in the apex of their movement\, “Within A Split Second” that is the order of things here and then there is “Ballet”. \nBallet? I hear you say. \nYes\, indeed. No wires\, no CGI just sheer perfect talent moving on stage\, keep up with it if you can? Quick feet\, you’ll need them\, hearts beating so fast\, and strong hands! \nMe? I run to the arena on the night of the boxing event\, all out of breath (carrying all of my camera gear) I park up early at ringside soaking up the atmosphere. All of the camera’s now ready\, the matches start early and the novices are on 1st\, all of this is leading to the main event of the evening and then suddenly the big guys are in the ring and the dance begins. \n“Defend yourself at all times” shouts the referee as the boxers swerve and sway probably inside the most important 3 minutes of their lives… \nRound 7 is now tiring. \nMistakes are made\, body shots hurt now\, breathing patterns have changed and the real challenge now begins! \n“Stay off the ropes” “Watch his head” \n“Don’t take the fight to him” “Let him come and find you” \nHis corner\, men are screaming now! Ronald’s puffing and spitting\, Billy knows it and he can sense the knockout coming soon. This ups his game and he takes chances\, suddenly Ronald is on him with a combination of stinging punches… Billy is out! \n“Within A Split Second” the fight is over and Ronald’s men invade the ring to cheer and lift their man. \n  \nTony McGee \nBorn 1954\, London. \nWent to school at St. Thomas More in Chelsea\, raised by Scottish/Irish parents in Milbank\, Westminster. \nFather was a strong influence and mother was a loving soul. Growing up was a wonderful thing during the 60’s in London\, everything was changing and Muhammed Ali and Sonny Listen were on the black and white tv regularly. \nStyle\, fashion and music played an important role in my life and my father bought me my first camera in 1968. Our dad\, ‘ginger’ (the major) took me along to Pinewood Studios in 1969 when I was 14 years of age and put me to work in the dark room. \nI learnt quickly and after two years left to create my own portfolio of photographs\, fashion photography was my choice and music too. I loved the work and the job was fun\, so I became very successful quickly. In 1975\, life exploded\, I got married and started working for Vogue Worldwide\, Sony Music\, Life Magazine and Rolling Stone Magazine among many others. I built my first studio in London in 1977 in Covent Garden and boxing was something that I always loved to photograph. \nI live in London\, we have two sons Jack and Maximilian and I am married to my teenage girlfriend Sandy. \n  \nCatalogue available

SUMMARY:Bermondsey Shorts - A Weekly Programme of Artists Videos
DESCRIPTION:Bermondsey Shorts is a regular programme of experimental short films curated by Michaela Freeman.\nThis week: \n style=”text-align: center;”>Clara S. Rueprich\n style=”text-align: center;”>Condition M\nThe film documents a training exercise with a keeper and his hunting dogs. A trail of meat lies outside the dogs’ kennels. Marked with an ‘M’ on their flanks\, the hounds waiting hungrily inside can see the meat and become excited and agitated in their wait\, but the keeper prevents them from leaving. \n“When finally allowed to leave\, the keeper cracks his whip and the dogs obediently hold back from devouring the meat. The dogs are incredibly patient\, and when they are allowed to feed\, they do so with great energy and delight. \n“This remarkable film\, shot from a single viewpoint\, explores the close relationship between the keeper and dogs / human and animal\, but also raises certain ethical questions about the mechanisms of control used to restrain these hounds which are bred to seek\, hunt and kill.” \nInterested to show your film as part of Bermondsey Shorts?

SUMMARY:Nick Malone - "A Tale of Two Lives"
DESCRIPTION:Nick Malone \nA Tale of Two Lives \n  \n14 – 25 March \n\nAlongside his exhibition\, A Tale of Two Lives\, which runs at Art Bermondsey Project Space from 14-25 March\, artist Nick Malone will be in conversation with art critic and Deputy Editor of State magazine\, Anna McNay. \n\n \nSat 18 March 2017  15:00 – 17:00 \n\nclick here to book your place \n  \n  \nThe walls of the main gallery are dominated by large\, three-dimensional works of burnt wood and drawing on canvas that depict an inner mythology through dissolving planes. These seem to occupy a third space between drawing and sculpture\, to be engaged with on their own terms of visual dynamics and broken narrative\, without any need to go further.\nHowever\, leading from this area is a far smaller space that provides a completely different environment. It refers to a moment in a graphic novel currently being written by Nick Malone – The Disappearance of Makepeace: A Tale of Two Lives – which centres around the strange disappearance and lifelong search for its mysterious hero. This moment is the visitor’s entry into the hidden room that had been used by Makepeace himself\, holding his sketchbooks and notes on a central table\, with further work on the walls of the room\, and a background soundscape of narrative and poetry* drawn from the novel.\nTrapdoors into Makepeace’s world open as windows cut into the pages through which other worlds of imagination can be seen. In this way the text of the graphic novel sets the exhibition within a wider context of narrative\, adventure and dream\, incorporating images of the works in the main gallery into an examination through story of ambiguity\, dissolution and change. \nThis show is pivotal in the development of Nick Malone’s art\, from earlier\, structured work such as his exhibition Balkan Earth for the British Council Greece\, through his manipulated canvases of liquid acrylic\, to these radical\, new constructions with soundscape\, text and narrative. \n* Part of this text is taken from Nick Malone’s prizewinning book Jason Smith’s Nocturnal Opera\, written with the support of Arts Council England and published by the Cinnamon Press \nNICK MALONE\nNick Malone took his MA in Fine Art at Central St. Martins; he currently lives and works in London\nHe has exhibited extensively in London and internationally and his work is represented in a number of collections\, including the British Council Greece\, The University of Wisconsin\, BUPA\, WestLB\, Granville Holdings\, GlaxoSmithKline and One Aldwych. \nNick Malone has received an Arts Council England Award to support him in the development of his creative work\, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. \nThis exhibition will feature a series of new paintings inspired by the in-the-making graphic novel The Disappearance of Makepiece – A Tale of Two Lives \nCatalogue available with a foreword by Anna McNay. \n[row][one_col] \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[/one_col][/row]

SUMMARY:OLYMPUS show: Cleveland Aaron 'Shapes From The Street'
DESCRIPTION:CLEVELAND AARON \n\n\naka\n\n ONE MAN AND HIS PEN\n\nShapes From The Street \n\nI’ve always enjoyed personal projects. I think of them as a means to creative growth through self understanding. \nThe following are a collection of images that attempt to document light\, shapes and space. The inspiration for the first instalment was architecture and the city and the aim was to shoot a series of architectural images of details on the streets. As people enter my frame I document their interaction with the city. I look at how the streets influence our movements and how the city’s numerous buildings and squares afford passage ways and meeting places for us. Then I make shapes and capture people in the composition to show scale and functionality. \nI feel fortunate to be an Olympus Ambassador. I was asked to test the Olympus PEN f a few months before it’s launch and produce images to be used for marketing purposes. I fell in love with the camera instantly. Due to the size and retro design I think it’s less intimidating to those around me but\, most importantly it allows me to shoot monochrome images with more control. That’s what sold it\, as I don’t have the appetite for post. \nI hope you’ll enjoy viewing the pages of this book. Visit www.f5point6.co.uk to see more of my work and visual blogs. \nI’d like to say a special thank you to Olympus UK & Europe for all their support and cameras that have inspired me plus all the people who unwittingly featured on my various stages. \nBorn and raised in East London Cleveland has had a love affair with photography for as long as he could remember. After sixth form he spent 11 years working in the city before finally breaking free to pursue a career in photography. Always looking forward and never looking back\, he started shooting music portraits\, fashion and urban street culture. It was during this period (1999) that his association with Olympus digital began. In more recent times his commissions have been in advertising due to the diverse and eclectic nature of his imagery and has worked with brands the likes of Bacardi\, Nike\, Adidas\, LK Bennett\, Oliver Goldsmith & French Connection to name but a few. Always evolving he has been making strides into all things architectural rekindling a childhood passion but\, looking through his vast portfolio it’s clear that he has no allegiance to any particular genre\, he just loves taking photos! Today he divides his time between being a photographer and educator. He has a teaching qualification (PTLLS) and runs a bespoke tutoring service\, RightEye Dominant.

SUMMARY:John Nassari 'Alters'
DESCRIPTION:Alters \n\nAN EXHIBITION BY OLYMPUS VISIONARY  \n\nJOHN NASSARI\n\n10-14 January \n\nJohn’s much anticipated “Alters” project is a photographic series that explores personal and shifting identity.\nSubjects are invited to sit for a photograph and are asked to think about what part of themselves or character they wish to represent. They then go away and change into a second person\, or “alter”. Some of the alters are fictions or aspirations and others are actual parts of people personalities\, that exist “out there” not just in the mind. People are encouraged to name their characters and to describe how they are different or similar\, before the photographs begin. \nJohn would often sit in the place of the other missing character and control his camera with a remote\, so the subject has a real person to relate to. He would often try and take on the personality of the other character so the relationship could be felt rather than acted. He then puts the two characters together in Photoshop\, replacing himself with each subject. \nOf the series John says “it’s a true collaboration between all three of us. They invent the character and the relationship\, I light and frame the scene and help them feel it when I shoot it”

SUMMARY:Dick Scott-Stewart 'These Times'
DESCRIPTION:Dick Scott Stewart\n(1948-2002)\nThese Times \nARCHIVE PHOTOGRAPHS\nThe Dick Scott Stewart Archive houses Dick Scott Stewart’s photographs taken from the mid 1960’s until 2002. The collection are predominately black and white images. These are the ones represented on this site. The pictures are of people and places mainly in London and Great Britain and record aspects of three decades\, the 70s\, 80s and 90s. It is an impressive body of work containing many images of startling quality and distinction. \nDuring his training Dick absorbed many of the influences and language of the great American and European photographers\, and painters\, and from there developed his own distinctive style. This not only uses the powerful possibilities of contrast in black and white photography “going for the black”\, and a painter’s eye for composition\, but also visible compassion and humour. \nThe Dick Scott-Stewart Archive was set up to preserve the negatives and original prints and to promoted Dick Scott-Stewart’s contribution to photography. It aims to preserve the signature images alongside the sets of pictures that make up projects and narratives of their particular time. \nA retrospective exhibition was set up at the 286 gallery in London in 2004. This year 2013 sees the publishing of four books available for purchase through this site and print on demand services. These books comprise of a general collection Dick Scott Stewart ‘Photography’\, over a hundred great images taken from the collection. A book of portraits of homeless people\, Dick Scott-Stewart ‘The Gaze’\, shows the great dignity and presence in people living on the edge of society. Dick Scott-Stewart ‘People and other Animals’\, is a book of portraits of well known people\, unknown people and animals\, a wry look at humanity Dick Scott-Stewart style. Dick Scott-Stewart ‘Wrestling” is a hilarious collection of pictures of wrestling at Battersea Arts Centre in London in the 1980s. \nDick Scott-Stewart was born in the Cotswold village of Painswick in 1948. He died in London in 2002.\nHe studied photography at the London College of Printing and worked as a freelance photographer thereafter.\nHis work was exhibited throughout the world\, including in New York alongside Cartier Bresson. \nHis photographs were also regularly published in The Sunday Times Magazine\, The Daily Telegraph and The Observer. \nHe published two books of photographs\, including the much-loved Fairground Snaps (1974). \nOver his photographic career\, Dick Scott-Stewart created some of the most resonant images of contemporary British photography\, especially in the black-and white medium to which he was so passionately dedicated. \nThis exhibition will be a retrospective on Scott-Stewart’s most iconic photographs.\nCatalogue available. \n

SUMMARY:Fred Ingrams 'Ditch'
DESCRIPTION:Fred Ingrams \n\n\nDitch  \n\n\nPAINTING THE FENS \n\n\n6 December – 7 January \n\nThe landscape of The Fens only exists because of the millions of gallons of water that are drained into the miles of ditches that surround every field. These ditches are the beginning of the huge man-made effort to take water from below sea level via drains and pump houses\, into rivers and then finally out to sea. \nDitches are also the only places in The Fens that are not ploughed\, drilled\, harvested and most importantly sprayed with fertilisers and herbicides. They are nature’s refuge from this onslaught. Often called the hedgerows of The Fens\, like hedges in the rest of our landscape\, ditches form strips of seasonal life that are left to create their own habitats. Like hedges\, ditches are cut and cleared every now and then to keep them working but everything quickly grows back and they fill again with reeds\, flowers\, warblers\, reed buntings and dragonflies. As a result of all this nature ditches are subject to huge amounts of legislation and scrutiny. They fall under the watch of the many drainage boards such as the Middle Level Commissioners and the Association of Drainage Authorities as well as being scrutinised by Natural England\, The RSPB\, The Environment Agency\, various wildlife trusts\, farming conservation groups and all the local councils. The future of ditches in The Fens is for others to decide upon and maybe when all the soil has been blown and eroded away from the land in between them the battle between the “re-wilders” and the property developers can really commence. \nTo me these precious margins are just dividing lines that run at ninety degrees to each other and border the huge fields of crops. The fields they frame are slabs of ever-changing colour. You can look down them or across them. Depending on your viewpoint ditches form either horizontal lines that divide the landscape or converging lines that meet at the vanishing point. Looking down a ditch creates one kind of painting\, looking across a ditch another. The result is two types of landscape. You can stand in a fenland field and see both at the same time\, all you have to do is turn ninety degrees. Ditches create the landscape that I love and thereby create my paintings. \nFred Ingrams\, 2016 \n  \n  \nFred Ingrams was born in Berkshire in 1964.\nHe studied at Camberwell and St. Martins Schools of Art\, where he was though expelled for being a disruptive influence\, determined to use acrylics rather than oils… \nHis work was first noticed in Soho where he painted “quite sexual and angry nudes” that exhibited with\, among others\, Grayson Perry and Marc Quinn\, and purchased by Francis Bacon. \nHe has worked as a graphic designer and art director on magazines such as the Sunday Times\, The Field\, Tatler\, Vogue and House & Garden. \nIn 1998 he moved back to the countryside in Norfolk where he went back to painting landscapes. \nThis exhibition will feature new works depicting the geometries of the Ditches that so strongly characterise The Fens. \nCatalogue available.\n

SUMMARY:OLYMPUS SHOW: Gavin Hoey ' Perpetual Learning Curve'
DESCRIPTION:Gavin Hoey \n\n\nPerpetual Learning Curve  \n\n\n29 November – 3 December  \n\nEvery photographer needs a reason to take photos and for me that reason is education. Under the guise of teaching photography to others I’m secretly educating myself\, pushing my skills and expanding my knowledge. \n  \nThe photos in this exhibition were all taken at various workshops\, training events or for video tutorials from July 2015 to November 2016\, or in other words\, from my first shoot with an Olympus OMD camera to my most recent. \n  \nSome of these images have been seen online by many hundreds of thousands of people\, others have been seen by just the people with me at the shoot. All of the photos taught me something and none of them have ever left the screen… until now. \nGavin Hoey is a freelance photographer\, OLYMPUS Ambassador and trainer of all things photographic. His work is regularly featured in photography magazines\, on countless websites and in videos.\nGavin has a real passion for sharing his photography knowledge. In 2008 he started recording and uploading video tutorials to YouTube. These quickly gained a large following and his videos are now viewed by millions of photographers each year. \nIn 2010 Gavin was the winner of Adobe’s “Next Photoshop Evangelist” competition and since then he has given training demonstrations in photography and Photoshop in the UK\, Europe and in the USA. \nIn 2012 Gavin joined forces with Adorama in New York to present photography videos on Adorama TV. Four years on\, he is still creating a new video for Adorama TV every other week that inspire and educate photographers from around the world in the art of photography and post processing.\n[row][one_col] \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[/one_col][/row]

SUMMARY:BRAD FAINE 'Diamond Geezers'
DESCRIPTION:BRAD FAINE \n\n\n‘Diamond Geezers’ \n\nBrad Faine is an internationally recognised artist and printmaker who was\, for 40 years the managing director of Coriander Studio\, one of Europe’s foremost printers and publishers of fine art limited editions\, specialising in serigraphic and digital prints.\nIn 2010 he resigned his directorship of Coriander to concentrate on making his own prints and paintings. Since 2005 his limited editions have been generated exclusively on computer and exist only in digital form. All his prints are first generation images and not reproductions of pre-existing drawings or paintings.\nThis Art dazzles the eye and plays games with the mind (not the same as mind games).\nIt is kaleidoscopic\, optically replete\, busy and colourful. It is visually complicated\,\nin some works more so than in others\, but even when relatively simple\nit is always crammed to the edges. It is referentially loaded\, steeped in popular culture\, popular graphics\, popular pastimes. \n\nMel Gooding\, November 2012

SUMMARY:'The New Face of Colombia - La Cara Nueva de Colombia'
DESCRIPTION:The New Face of Colombia- La Cara Nueva de Colombia\n1-19 November 2016 \nThe New Face of Colombia- La Cara Nueva de Colombia is an exhibition whose theme is change. Today as never before Colombia\, is going through an extraordinary period of change social\, political and cultural. The aim of this exhibition is to highlight those changes\, one might say to look at the new faces and visions of the country and its people through the variety of stories told by the participating artists using their own particular mediums of expression. \nThe initiative acquires even further relevance and importance following the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Santos\, which inevitably speaks of the international recognition of his commitment to ending the 50-years-long civil war. Equally\, the exhibition wishes to be a moment to reflect on the past\, present and future of Colombia\, on the multifaceted identity of a country that is now negotiating with a complex history for a peaceful and sustainable future. \nThe exhibition will be held over the three floors of the Art Bermondsey Project Space\, a new not- for-profit creative platform promoting the fusion of art\, photography and culture located in the vibrant area of Bermondsey in London. It is a flagship venue offering exhibitions for both emerging and established artists combined with visionary\, interactive\, educational and early learning programmes to showcase freedom of creative expression through the visual arts.Each artist in his or her own way provides a different take on that story of change.  \n\n[row][one_col] \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[/one_col][/row] \nTHE TEAM:\nThe curator is Sandra Higgins who has curated exhibitions at the Consulate General of Colombia\, London for artists including Ofelia Rodriguez\, Piers Calvert and Lucas Posada.

SUMMARY:Paulina Korobkiewicz 'Disco Polo'
DESCRIPTION:Paulina Korobkiewicz \n\n\n Disco Polo \n\n\n4-27 October 2016 \n\n  \n‘Disco Polo’ documents the aesthetics in Eastern Poland after 1989. This publication focuses on the mixed influences from East and West\, the effects of global capitalism on the Polish landscape dominated by consuming colourful advertising. Project presents kitsch of rough-and-ready billboards\, pastel-coloured concrete blocks and suburban night-clubs. It explores search for a ‘better world’ and omnipresent visual chaos in the urban landscape. Lack of experts in local housing associations resulted in randomly chosen shades\, turning the streets into a vivid collage of pastel tower blocks. \nTitle ‘Disco Polo’ represents locally popular music genre of the same name\, which developed in Eastern Poland around the time of the political transition. The genre created its own aesthetics\, from the outfits to the venues where it is performed. Naive lyrics and over-saturated video clips often embody longing for western capitalism and hope for better future. \nPaulina Korobkiewicz\, is a London-based\, Polish born photographer.\nin July 2015\, she graduated from BA Fine Art Photography at Camberwell College of Arts\, University of the Arts London.  \nReturning to her hometown in Eastern Poland\, Korobkiewicz was struck by the\ncontrasts that existed within these small towns\, and began documenting what she saw.\nFocussing on architecture\, she assembled a strange assortment of images – shabby\nsuburban nightclubs\, pastel-coloured apartment blocks\, and all manner of kitsch\naesthetic details.  \nHer work was selected for Crative Review Talent Spotting project in association with Creative Translation and JCDecaux. Her photographs were displayed on JCDecaux digital screens across the UK in August 2015. She was featured in the 2015 edition of Creative Review Photography Annual\, DRECK Magazine\, Paper Journal\, The Calvert Journal\, This Is Paper\, Contemporary Lynx and other publications.\nHer photo book ‘Disco Polo’ was shortlisted for Bar Tur Photobook Award 2015 organised by the Photographer’s Gallery in London. \nShe is currently involved in a production of a new photo book ‘Perspectives’ in collaboration with South London based studio Camberwell Press\, due to Camberwell Book Prize she was awarded in November 2015.\n\nThe reality used to be dull and grey. Now the soulless\, identical tower blocks are just a reminder of a turbulent past\, a national monument present all around the country. Walk down the street of any Polish city today and you will see old-fashioned concrete juxtaposed with homemade\, brightly coloured billboards\, often in the most unexpected places\, advertising even more surprising content. You are also likely to encounter a great variety of English sounding names\, not necessarily spelled correctly. As a generation born in the 1990s\, we grew up surrounded by these kitsch attempts to disguise the Soviet past. We took what we saw for granted. \nRecognising the uniqueness of these bizarre aesthetics came only after going abroad. Picturesque little squares in London\, romantic Parisian alleys\, charming restaurants along the canal in Copenhagen\, idyllic Italian boulevards by the sea… Being so different to what we were used to back home\, they seduced and inspired us immediately. We began to feel shame towards our home country. Torn between years of fidelity to Russia and a new devotion to America\, we got stuck somewhere in between — too east for the West\, but too west for the East. But when we look at them now\, the pseudo-American bars and colourful billboards tell a dramatic story about searching for identity and a desperate need to belong. Once a subject of embarassment and disregard\, today they constitute a diary of transition\, the path from socialism to the free market and the personal struggles that went with it; an account of generational changes\, the memory of an uncomfortable past and the everlasting hope for a better tomorrow.  \nText: Natalia Domagala

SUMMARY:Beatrice Haines ' The Devil In The Detail'
DESCRIPTION:Beatrice Haines \nThe Devil In The Detail \nIn Beatrice Haines’ first London solo show\, she exhibits new artwork alongside drawing\, sculpture\, print and video created over the past five years that encourage a closer look at human nature. Inspired by encounters between forensic science and the domestic environment\, Haines explores our relationship with everyday objects and the insight these give into human desire\, fear and mortality.\nAlthough the human is largely absent in Haines’ work\, the object left behind acts an anthropomorphic portrait that like forensic evidence\, tells its own story. Objects that hold a personal resonance are raised to the status of relics despite their interpretation as banal or grotesque by the outsider. This re-appropriation gives them new life and meaning. Where the figure is present\, they are in some way connected to objects of importance. The title Science Without Religion is Lame\, Religion Without Science is Blind is coined from an Einstein quote. Scientist Stephen Hawking and Nun Sister Hannah Benedictus sit side by side\, reaching towards each other\, mimicking Michelangelo’s ‘Creation of Man’. Both Physicist and Nun have followed very different philosophical paths\, but have both benefited from advances in human medicine and engineering.\nSanatorium is a collection of sculptures cast from small over-bed tables in a school medical centre. Graffiti scratched into the surface throughout years of illness and boredom records student’s suffering\, obsession and resolve. The upturned tables resemble a school examination room or cenotaph; a memorial to those that did not survive the sanatorium.\nThe use of mundane materials such as discarded furniture and doorstops aims to unsettle the domestic or every day\, prompting feelings of both familiarity and alienation. Like the hundreds of colourful striations in drawing Reliquary Dissected\, doorstops and bird spikes offer a form of protection to the precious objects at their centre but are week membranes\, delicate and prone to attack. They simultaneously shield and smother the very object they aim to protect\, rendering them inept. These modes of protection inevitably imply the possibility of threat. In contrast\, discarded domestic irons burn the surface of the paper in Mothers Little Helpers\, a violence that is at odds with the artwork’s title.\nHaines’ work exists at the intersection between the scientific and emotional. A keen microscopist\, her subject is studied with scrutiny\, treated like a scientific specimen and often made to look sterile despite its emotional value. It is not only dehumanized in this way but makes us question preconceived views conditioned into us from infancy.\nBeatrice Haines\n(b. 1986\, London\, UK) is a multidisciplinary visual artist working in London and the South West. She graduated with a Masters in Fine Art Printmaking from the Royal College of Art in 2010 and has exhibited in solo and international group exhibitions including the Jerwood Drawing Prize\, ‘Blood’ at Science Gallery\, ‘the Negligent Eye’ at Bluecoat Gallery and at Ars Electronica festival. Haines has completed residencies at the University of Abertay’s forensics lab\, Marlborough College and Centrespace Gallery. She is currently in residence at the Griffin Gallery and collaborating with scientists from Windsor & Newton. Listed in Artlyst’s ‘top 10 artists under 30’\, Haines is a Print Fellow at the Royal Academy of Arts. Winner of Anthology Art Prize\, RBS Bursary award and the Mann and Daler Rowney drawing prizes\, she continues to create artwork of a multi-disciplinary nature.

SUMMARY:The Kate Inside - Iconic and Unseen Photographs of Kate Bush by Guido Harari
DESCRIPTION:The Kate Inside\nIconic and Unseen Photographs of Kate Bush\nby Guido Harari\nThe Kate Inside features amazing images many unseen and unexpected photographs\, Polaroids\, contact sheets\, personal notes from Kate and out takes covering the period of her boldest albums: The Dreaming\, Hounds of Love\, The Sensual World\, The Red Shoes including her film The Line\, The Cross & The Curve. A London exhibition at Art Bermondsey Project Space will accompany the book’s release.\nAt the end of the 70’s Guido was working with the legendary Lindsay Kemp Company documenting every detail of their tour of Italy for Kemp’s first official photo book when he was introduced to Kate Bush in Milan\, who was there to promote her album The Dreaming. Kate knew little of Guido’s work with other musicians like Joni Mitchell\, Lou Reed\, or Bob Dylan but she was so impressed with the photographs he had taken for Kemp that she asked him if he could handle the job of photographer for her. Guido was already a huge fan and readily agreed. Kate has tremendous respect and affection for Lindsay Kemp. “Lindsay inspired me to take a new direction\, he introduced me to a form of dance\, even dance itself for the first time\, that’s why he is so important to me.” They first met when\, following in David Bowie’s footsteps\, Kate made her way to the Dance Centre in Covent Garden. Timid and shy\, Lindsay brought her from the back of the room and encouraged her to ‘show him her heart and soul’.\nThis extraordinary beautiful girl\, with the glowing skin\, captivating eyes and lion’s mane of hennaed reddish hair was truly breathtaking. The silky twang of her voice and her self assured intoxicating stage presence gave way to a quiet thoughtful offstage persona and big heartwarming smiles. Guido was absolutely fascinated by this ethereal creature and when Kate telephoned him in 1985 to come to her studio in her home in Kent to take the official promo photographs for Hounds of Love he was in London within days.\nTheir collaboration was built on trust and friendship\, they kept it simple and always expected something magical to happen\, from the inspired “underwater” photographs\, the enigmatic Kabuki make-up\, to the unguarded ‘Goofy Kate’ images. Guido recalls that Kate was simply the warmest\, kindest person he had ever worked with but he kept in mind Terry Gilliam’s words\, “she may be the sweetest person on the planet but there was absolute steel inside”. Guido’s photographs and images capture the complexity of Kate\, uniquely talented\, astonishingly vulnerable and open\, creative and strong.\nInspired by the songs from her album The Red Shoes\, Kate’s film The Line\, The Cross & The Curve saw the three reunited in 1993. Guido’s incredible and previously unseen photographs form an extraordinary ‘fly on the wall’ reportage and contain many of Lindsay Kemp’s favourite images. “Guido is a great portrait artist\,” says Lindsay Kemp. “His pictures remind me of classic 18th century portraits or sometimes the glamorous movie portraits of the 1940’s. He captured the magical atmosphere of Kate’s film wonderfully but also the humour and humanity of its backstage: some of the candid shots captured off the set are priceless.” \nQ&A with Lindsay Kemp and Guido Harari\n6-8pm 16th September\nbooking essential – click here–
