Bryan Heseltine

Whilst in Oxford the other week, I took the opportunity to visit the People Apart: Cape Town Survey 1952 exhibition in the Long Gallery at the Pitt Rivers Museum. There were some great photos on display, clearly Heseltine was a talented photographer.

I did, however, have two issues regarding the exhibition. Firstly, there was a lack of signs pointing towards, or even identifying the work as being the Long Gallery. Secondly, but in a similar vein, it was in a small corridor next to the toilets. Whilst I was there, the only people who glanced at the work were those rushing past it with other agendas. I guess that must be what Oxford University think of photography...

Still, it was good to see some alternative work by a lesser known individual.

I think the one thing that annoys me most about galleries, including the Turner Contemporary in Margate, is their insistence on banning all photography within the art space. Why can I not take a photograph of an image I like that is hanging in your art gallery?

If I am ever lucky enough to have a solo show, I will have a sign stating exactly the opposite. "Photography is NOT banned." You can hold me to that, even when I'm rich and famous.

Imagine at the Old Lookout

I was lucky enough to be involved in a small exhibition at the Old Lookout Gallery in Broadstairs over the last weekend. There was a great mixture of work on display, showing the real diversity that bringing eleven of this year's second year Photography Students together creates, no two pieces were alike.

 

 

A few hours spent curating on Sunday afternoon where a great experience, even if the number of visitors was slightly lacking due to the poor weather. Thankfully with Anita and Joy for company, this didn't get our spirits down.

500 Days

Having reached Day 500 of the Izzy Photo A Day Project, I used the End of Year Exhibition at University to showcase all of the images in miniature. Displayed in 35mm slide mounts, the photographs were displayed as one large block (16 by 32).

Before you start questioning your maths, you are right - that is 512. The final twelve slots were used to title the piece. It took around fifteen hours spread over a week to prep all of the images, seven hours over two days to hang them and just two to take them down again at the end of the Exhibition.

I hope you got a chance to see it 'in person', but if not then these images will help you to envisage it. Here's to the next 500 days!

This is...

...what boredom does to me.

I'm looking forward to passing comment on the flyers and posters that are being designed by those in the Exhibiting & Exhibitions module.

1MAG1NE

It is a strange concept, or at least that is what I think. No, not the actual name that has been chosen, but to be thinking about the end of year Exhibition before I have even submitted most of my assignments.

Thankfully I can leave it on the metaphorical back burner for the time being, concentrating instead on actually meeting all of my deadlines. As for those in the Exhibiting and Exhibitions module, well good luck!

Here's something to start you off...

I like the idea of rambling on and on for no good reason, which I am guessing you knew having read my blog.
