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: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. In collaboration with Olympus UK\, Jasper will be hosting an exhibition at the Art Bermondsey Project Space\, London (04/07/2017 – 08/07/2017) alongside a book that will be distributed Internationally. These insightful and interesting stories demonstrate hope\, beauty and determination in a changing environment\, showing the importance of worldwide sustainability. \n  \n“People have to adapt to anything and when there is a problem\, there is a solution.” \n – Dhan Bhadur Parivar\, 2017 \n  \n“I was once told ‘Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.’ And it stuck with me\, the time for environmental protection is now and it is needed more than ever. One day we may observe a world that we created; with limited wildlife and water\, flooding cities and we will ask ‘What happened’?” \n – Jasper Wilkins \nwww.olympus-imagespace.co.uk \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: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. She is Assistant Editor of Art Quarterly and former Deputy Editor of StateF22 magazine. \nTwitter: @annamcnay \nAbout Art Bermondsey Project Space  \nA non-profit independent gallery sponsored by Olympus\, part of a Cultural Initiative Programme in association with State Magazine.
