A line of light from coast to coast, Saturday 13th March. They’re wanting 500 Illuminators to make it happen. Click through and sign up now.
North East Photography Network talks for early 2010 begin with Paul Seawright on Thursday 4th February at 7pm at the Mining Institute. There isn’t much of his work on his website, but what there is leaves many questions.
The Network seems pretty keen to show us photographers exploring the polemic and conditions of war: Norfolk’s nuclear missiles and the rather less subtle Kennard-Phillips activism combo in 2009 both gave riveting presentations. Student to Norfolk: “What made you think of doing this kind of work [photographing missiles]?” Norfolk: “We’ve been at war [in Afghanistan] for 8 years now, it’s the single most important issue facing all of us, and you want to photograph your girlfriends’ bottoms?” Paraphrasing a bit, but that is indeed what was said.
The Mining Institute is a really interesting venue. Some cameraphone interiors:
Those rooms above are where you get to meet and mill and um, network with, question, applaud, enquire of the photographers after the talks. Fascinating place. Would be very well worthwhile making an appointment to see them sometime about what they hold there with reference to the Deep Sea Diving collaboration.
Also part of North East Photo.net’s 2010 is a new photography book club at the Lit and Phil on a Wednesday every month, starting on Wednesday 10th February at 5.30pm. Places are free but you can book in advance by contacting carol@northeastphoto.net. “We’ll start with one of the great photography books in the Lit and Phil collection — Chris Killip’s ‘In Flagrante’ (1988).”
Contact Carol to book the talk, too.
And if you haven’t yet been, there are a couple of Killips to look out for in Martin Parr’s magpie collection at Baltic. If you’ve been, go back and look at them again: it finishes on 17th of this month. Preferably go along with someone to help you guide your eye through and around the mass of genius in those rooms, whilst avoiding the tinplate trash. Tynemouth Market on a Saturday is better for good looking collectables.
