At 198 Gallery in London, United Kingdom
Exhibition | Photography

An exhibition of Photography that asks the question ‘What is crime?’
+lsquo;Too often the media focuses on the harms and crimes of those who have relatively little power in society. This exhibition will broaden our view of who is affected by the financial crisis, environmental harms and different forms of violence.' Ken Loach Violent events caused by businesses and the state; hidden violence against women, children and the elderly; the way in which poverty hurts, injures, and kills; the impact of environmental pollution, the images in this exhibition reflect concerns that rarely attract the same level of political and public concern as `conventional' crime. Organised by the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies in collaboration with 198, and supported by The Wates Foundation and The Independent, this exhibition presents entries to the What is crime? competition. Rather than conventional law and order images of police, prison and judges, What Is crime? invited entries which challenged conventional thinking about harm, injustice and crime. Divided into three categories, violence, finance and environment the competition inspired school children, professional photographers and other members of the public, both in the UK and internationally, to interpret the competition themes. The judging panel was made up of individuals able to bring a range of expertise from the world of arts and academia, including photographers, criminologists and curators such as award winning film maker Ken Loach, Mark Haworth-Booth, Tom Hunter and Tamsin O Hanlon . The What is crime? exhibition is part of a broader project by the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies, that has produced original research from leading academics on questions as broad as +lsquo;safety crimes+rsquo; in the workplace, the impact of environmental regulation on human health and also the effect of the current recession on homicide, suicide and heart attack rates across Europe. The winning entries include images depicting the construction of Israel/Palestinian wall, a polluted river in India, children working in an illegal tannery, images of environmental damage, and the painful suffering of the elderly.

Codex Sinaiticus: text – Bible – book
The Codex Sinaiticus conference will bring together scholars and experts from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds to further a more comprehensive inter-disciplinary understanding of the text, history, and material quality of Codex Sinaiticus, the fourth century Greek Bible - arguably one of the world's most important manuscripts. The conference will celebrate the completion of the new digital edition of the manuscript on the Codex Sinaiticus website, which will virtually re-unite Codex Sinaiticus, now held in four locations at the British Library, Leipzig University Library, and St Catherine+rsquo;s Monastery in Sinai and the National Library of Russia in St Petersburg. For further information about the conference, please contact CodexSinaiticusConference@bl.uk. To be held at the Conference Centre of the British Library.

Exhibition | Prints


Using songbird specimens from the Cowan Vertebrate Museum at the University of British Columbia, Catherine Stewart has produced a body of work that focuses on colour differentiation in plumage between the sexes +ndash; a topic that Darwin discusses extensively in Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex. Using high resolution scans and the design vehicle, PhotoShop, this Vancouver-based artist explores the vast spectrum of colour that plays such a significant role in mating in the avian world. These enlarged digital images magnify details in bird plumage and, in so doing, reveal the multitude of rich and varied hues that combine to create the colour, texture and pattern we observe when viewing birds in nature. Catherine will be giving a talk on the 7th July at 6pm to accompany this exhibition.

At De La Warr Pavillion in Bexhill On Sea, United Kingdom
Exhibition | Multi-disciplinary


Works by German artist Joseph Beuys (1921 � 86) from the ARTIST ROOMS collection will be shown throughout the summer of 2009 at the De La Warr Pavilion. This is an exciting and fitting opportunity to show work by Beuys within a building whose architecture, like the work of the artist, is rooted in socialist ideals and whose purpose is to provide a cultural centre for its locality and beyond. +lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; This exhibition will display a large number of sculptures, photographs, drawings, and watercolours as well as a selection of posters recalling live actions and events by Beuys. Key works will include Fat Chair (sculpture, 1964 � 85), Scala Napoletana (sculpture, 1985). and A Party for Animals (lithograph, 1969). +lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; The exhibition will explore Beuys�s ideas on economics, politics, activism, anti-establishment, teaching, learning and philosophy and raise questions as to how these ideas have extended beyond Beuys�s own lifetime and how they can continue to inform new thinking today. +lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; An ambition of the Beuys exhibition in Bexhill is to initiate inter-generational discussion between senior citizens and young people, bringing a community together whilst inviting expertise and commentators from the fields of philosophy, environment, politics, economics and art.+lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; Artist Rooms +lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; ARTIST ROOMS, a collection of international contemporary art was established through one of the largest and most imaginative gifts of art ever made to museums in Britain. The gift was made by Anthony d�Offay, with the assistance of the National Heritage Memorial Fund, The Art Fund and the Scottish and British Governments. ARTIST ROOMS is jointly owned and managed by National Galleries of Scotland and Tate on behalf of the nation with the primary aim of creating a new national resource of contemporary art that will strengthen displays and create exhibitions in museums and galleries throughout the UK so as to inspire new audiences, especially young people. The collection is being shared with museums and galleries throughout the UK with thanks to the support of independent charity The Art Fund.+lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt;

Exhibition | Photography

Contemporary Photography Exhibition
The Gallery accepts artists submissions via email and will answer immediately. +lsquo;Manual focus: Artistic perception portrayed through photography+rsquo; +quot;I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive. I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence. +quot;Man ray [1] Artists continue to use the medium of Photography to examine and document the world around us, but they also reveal the true nature of the artist. Every Artist develops an acute level of perception of the world around us as this is the external feed and resource of the artist. The photograph resembles the eyes of the artist, the direction and whereabouts of the artist. As artists transpire throughout their existence and seek inspiration, the photograph is often the critical outpost of the artistic persona. Photography is regarded by some as the pinnacle art form and is highly sought after on the art markets of today. Many contemporary photographers have broken sales records that run into hundreds of thousands at action for limited editions. Other Artists such as Douglas Gordon rely on photography as a secondary means of making money next to their paramount mediums, such as Gordons case of video installation. Gordon+rsquo;s short series of photography helped him expand his range and market. Some photographers feel that the experience of viewing a photograph should feel as if the viewer is actually present and witnessed the very account of taking the photograph. The experience can be heightened by using large format cameras and printing to huge scale. A prime example of this experience is the work of Andreas Gursky. In this publication +lsquo;The New Yorker+rsquo; the critic Calvin Tomkins described the experience of viewing a large Gursky. +quot;Gursky's huge, panoramic color prints+mdash;some of them up to six feet high by ten feet long+mdash;had the presence, the formal power, and in several cases the majestic aura of nineteenth-century landscape paintings, without losing any of their meticulously detailed immediacy as photographs.+rdquo;[2] It seems the larger the photograph the more the viewer is given in the experience of feeling what Gursky felt as he pressed the shutter release. The viewers perception reciprocates the artists perception, similar to large painting like the Mark Rothkos at the Tate Modern. This exhibition of photography is functioning as a machine working on the edge of avant-garde and translates artistic perception; the world through the artistic eye 1. Undated interview, circa 1970s; published in Man Ray: Photographer, 1981.) 2. Tomkins, Calvin. The New Yorker. +quot;The Big Picture.+quot; 22 January, 2001. William Nixon William studied at Central Saint Martins College of Art +amp; Design, Charing Cross Rd, London in 2000 for a BA (Hons) Fine Art. He has contributed to numerous group exhibitions by showcases hs work and recently had a solo exhibition at the Empire Gallery titled Lost Britain in May The underlying theme of Will's work considers our understanding of and attitudes towards what we consider reality to be. Initially the various images appear to be snapshots that portray a variety of British environments, and to an extent they are. However, the works are in fact a calculated juxtaposition of different photographs, which take the form of a college. Each college is digitally manipulated disguising the evidence of human intervention, but not completely. With the knowledge that the works are actually constructed spaces, each becomes a representation of a possible situation. The key to work's success lies in the balance that the spaces seem real but at the same time not real.Will is influenced by an eclectic range of artists and thinkers: Baudrillard, Magritte, and most recently the work of Mondrian amongst other Modernists, focusing on concepts of Utopia. In contemporary life photography is deemed the medium for most accurately representing what is real. If a viewer of the work accepts the image as being an actual space then photography in this way masks the fact that it does not exist. . William Nixon Bingo, 70 x 70cm, Lambda print mounted in white wood frame, 2009 Tim Phillips After a lifetime as a sole-practitioner architect both in Portugal and London, Tim is taking life a little easier in East Devon. Photography, ever since school days, has always been a hobby of his (first camera was a black bakelite Kodak Cresta!). Taking and recording the image has always been the most important part of picture taking, though burning, dodging and refreshing tired B +amp; W images in the darkroom often rescued a disappointment! In this, it was helpful studying architecture at Canterbury College of Art; interestingly, the best critics of photographs are usually artists. Now, Tim is more convinced than ever that a successful image is one that grabs attention immediately for being more than just the photograph you see; something that needs a lot of patience with landscapes, which are currently his preference. With so many other distractions in life, Tim prefers to limit image adjustment to a minor crop and an adjustment of 'levels', if needed, to minimize time spent on the computer. Tim uses both Photo Elements 6 on a laptop and iPhoto on an Intel MacBook. The latter software is improving all the time and Tim finds it allows nearly all the tweaks he needs and is quicker to use, particularly the straightening tool. Currently, Tim is using a Nikon D40X and apart from the non-VR zooms that came in the kit, there's also a Nikon 28mm PC lens (from film days) and a 10-20 Sigma zoom in the bag. For printing, Tim is a dedicated Epson aficionado and I've just upgraded to an R2400, which allows extra long sheets for big panoramic prints, something he is just getting into! Working with a tripod is much more satisfying than grabbing a hand held shot, more so because you have the best chance of capturing what you see, digital sensor range excepted! The other issue that bothers him about the photographic digital age is what to do with the thousands of images that you end up with! Investigating one possibility, Tim went on a Light and Land Book Project Course; the influence of this course is partly responsible for the type of image displayed at the gallery. Tim Phillips Beached carboskeleton, Archival inkjet photograph. 40cm x 50cm, 2008, Limited Edition number: 1/100. Val+eacute;rie Abella Val+eacute;rie Abella studied at the Institut d'Arts Visuels, Orl+eacute;ans, in France during 1999/2002 and completed a Dipl+ocirc;me National d'Arts et Techniques In Graphic Design Specialization. Val+eacute;rie Abella graduated with a Dipl+ocirc;me National Sup+eacute;rieur en Expression Plastique (National Higher Diploma of Expression through Plastic Arts) Photography Specialization. Graduated with distinction in 2002/05 Val+eacute;rie Abella is an artist using photography and at times video. She still works fulltime to feed herself. A bereavement in her family induced her to ponder upon the value of living. She decided to move to Reunion Island 3 years ago, wanting to see if life was different under unfamiliar stars, clouds and sun. Life is a series of moments, each containing past and future. Val+eacute;rie+rsquo;s photographs are an attempt to seize some of these moments so she can tie herself to them and feel real. When she takes a picture of a piece of grass, it becomes hers for the second when photography makes it still and immortal. During that second, she belongs and is that piece of grass, in some way she+rsquo;s photographing herself. When she imprints some of the reality around her on a sensitive surface, than is able to reproduce it, it+rsquo;s a kind of re-creation. The sharpness of details and the closest possible accuracy in reproducing the light and colors are essential to Val+eacute;rie. She never digitally alters the images other than what is strictly necessary to edit them and bring them closer to what the subject looked like when the photograph was taken. She often takes her car and drives around, looking for places where human presence is barely there to be felt. Then she starts to wander around and try to become aware only of time and space around her. She tries to reach some kind of inner silence, and starts to take photographs, until she feels the place is used up, that anything it has to say has been recorded, at least everything she+rsquo;s able to see. Val+eacute;rie tries to capture these specific samples of time and space for others to see and feel.

Alys Tomlinson Alys Tomlinson currently works as an Associate Lecturer at Central Saint Martins College of Art, London from 2004. Alys studied at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, University of the Arts London during 1999 +ndash; 2000 for a PgCert in Professional Photographic Practice. Alys studied at The University of Leeds for a BA (Hons) English and Communications during 1994 +ndash; 1998 and received a 2:1 Title of series: +lsquo;Fans+rsquo; Alys is a freelance photographer based in London. She combines commissioned work with personal work, which she publishes and exhibits. Her work is mostly concerned with people and places, crossing photographic genres of portraiture, landscape photography and street photography. She was recently named one of 30 Photographers to Watch by Photo District News and was also a winner in the 2007 Magenta Awards. The Fans portraits were taken outside music venues across London from 2004-2007. The photographs address themes of style and identity and the portraits span all ages and musical genres. Many of the fans queued outside the venue for hours before the doors opened. The photographs not only demonstrate the loyalty and dedication of each fan, but also offer a unique insight into modern notions of individuality, fashion and popular culture. Alys Tomlinson Placebo, Kentish Town Forum, c-type print, 20 x 16+rdquo;, 2004. Liam Smith Liam Smith recently graduated in BA Hons Photography from Nottingham Trent University, 2009 and was selected for Free Range 2009 Art +amp; Design Degree Show, The Old Truman Brewery, London, June 18th-22nd 2009. Title: Presentiment A premonition; waiting for an event to happen. The photographs themselves suggest of an event about to unfold, they have a replication of the 'freeze -frame' quality that is naturally associated with moving images. When a film stops, a narrative sequence which has a definite past and future is left poised and potentially stuck forever in the present, creating a tension and anxiety between the interruption of the rhythm of narrative and the viewer. Rather than capturing the +lsquo;pregnant moment+rsquo;, or +lsquo;decisive moment+rsquo;, the work aims to create an +lsquo;indecisive moment+rsquo;, where the content of the shot suggests that it stems from the narrative of contemporary cinema, alluding to the presence of a past and future, yet offering only a fragment of the entire narrative. The assumption of narrative within the work allows the viewer to experience the past and future of the film in the present. The piece aims to involve the viewer, insofar as each individual possesses their own knowledge and experiences of classic and contemporary cinema. This experience of the cinematic aesthetic and narrative allows the viewer to fabricate their own possible past and future events of the film, opening up the concept that no two people will experience this piece in the same way. Liam Smith The meeting, Digital print 42cm x 29.5cm, 2009 Matthew Stevenson Recently graduated from a BA (Hons) degree in Photography at Nottingham Trent University, his practical experience is broad; including over 4 years of studio experience along with a wide of location shoots working under strict deadlines. All supported with a sound knowledge of processing and printing both film and digital. 'Future Perfect', a grammatical term used to describe an event that has not yet happened but is expected to occur in the future. The majority of all photographs stem from the single desire to recognise and to boast, they represent a past event, a fleeting moment that the camera has the ability to record and therefore immortalise. The Future Perfect series looks at photography's role in social documentation and as a tool in social reform. The images appropriate a culture's vision, presenting the viewer with a number of scenarios that turn what is seen into a spectacle, therefore allowing the viewer to embody their own culture and recognise themselves within each scene. The price tags remaining on items within the scenes emphasize a future of constantly changing codes of meaning, a future that can only be consumed and never owned. The scenarios address the viewpoint of the viewer and take into account what Jacques Lacan termed the 'Ego-Ideal', creating a fiction where the viewer is able to look at themselves as if from an ideal point and create an impossibly unified self. Matthew Stevenson Bedroom Scenario, Fuji Flex C-type Print in wooden black lacquer frame, 75cm x 75cm, 2009 Tim Watson Photography has been the principle medium with which Tim has worked since studying art at university. It+rsquo;s initial appeal the immediacy, Tim regards the photographer+rsquo;s art as curatorial - a collector of images rather than creator. As such his work generally consists of series+rsquo;, groups of photographs linked aesthetically and thematically such as previous explorations of derelict buildings both at home and in Cyprus. The work featured here, although linked thematically by a focus on nature, is really far more concerned with the formal elements of the image than it is the subject matter. Through enlargement beyond their natural scale these images take on an alien quality that invites the viewer to explore afresh the texture and form of the object. Sharp shifts in focus cause the images to blur into abstraction, only for certain details to stand out in sudden clarity. For Tim, this exposes the camera, not as a substitute for the human eye but a different way of looking at - and recording - the world around us. Tim would consider this project to be in it+rsquo;s early stages still and these images the first produced to really capture these concerns and open new lines of enquiry+hellip; not mention satisfying as images in their own right.

At Matt's Gallery in London, United Kingdom
Exhibition | Film / Video


Blue Movie is Jordan Baseman?s second exhibition at Matt?s Gallery and features a 16mm film that incorporates found pornographic footage (originating from the early 1940s during Nazi occupied Belgium) with an original soundtrack based on academic enquiry and discourse. The voiceover for Blue Movie has been created from interviews with the cultural commentator Pamela Church Gibson, Reader in Cultural +amp; Historical Studies at the London College of Fashion.+lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; In Blue Movie the main body of the found film is replaced with clear leader footage: allowing only a few seconds per edit, following the existing structure of the source material. Without censoring the original footage, the replacement material creates a charged space that is actively occupied by the soundtrack.+lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; We hear the narrator simultaneously discussing the history of pornography and its relationship to feminism from the right channel of a stereo system, while describing and analysing the Belgian made film document from the left. The merging of the two soundtracks, spoken by a single voice, creates a poetic and layered narrative for the film. Blue Movie expands Baseman?s recent focus on voice-propelled narratives, creating a synthesis between the aural and the visual.+lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; Through the restoration and subsequent use of the original film and the recording, transcription and construction of the interviews with Pamela Church Gibson, Blue Movie deals with ideas of power, patriarchy, feminism, authorship, the history of film, and voyeurism. +lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; This work contains explicit material.

At Bureau in Salford, United Kingdom
Exhibition | Multi-disciplinary

Trade City @ CHIPS Building, Manchester
Bureau presents work by Olaf Breuning as part of Trade City. Organised as part of Contemporary Art Manchester (CAM) in conjunction with Manchester International Festival (MIF 09). Venue: CHIPS Building, Old Mill Street, New Islington, Manchester. M4 6BU (Please note: this exhibition is not held at Bureau) ------------------ Commingling reality and illusion, authenticity and artifice, barbarism and civility, Olaf Breuning (b. 1970, Schaffhausen, Switzerland) creates works that draw heavily from popular culture and a collective visual iconography. He combines these contemporary aesthetics with more primal, shared drives: violence, sexuality, ritual, and companionship. The divergent impulses collide, often with absurd and hilarious results, as he exploits the thin line between humor and pain. For Trade City Bureau presents Breuning+rsquo;s latest film Home 2, a tongue-in-cheek anthropological study and travelogue, addressing ideas of tourism and Westernisation, and questioning the value of cultural exchange. The film explores slippages in communication and understanding and highlights the difference between lived experience and knowledge gleaned through the saturation of information in the digital era. Olaf Breuning currently lives and works in New York, USA. He has had solo exhibitions at Metro Pictures, New York; Conduits Gallery, Italy; Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces, Australia; Galerie Air de Paris, France; Swiss Institute, New York; Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, Mexico City; and Centre D+rsquo;art Contemporain, Geneva. Breuning has also exhibited in a large number of high-profile international group exhibitions, including: Whitney Biennial 2008, New York; Looking At Music, MoMA, New York; All About Laughter, Mori Art Museum, Japan; Let+rsquo;s Entertain, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; and Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. His work has been the subject of several monographs, such as Olaf Breuning Queen Mary (JRPIRinger, 2006) and Olaf Breuning UGLY (Hatje Cantz, 2001), and features in a number of international private and public collections. The exhibition Trade City is the inaugural project for Contemporary Art Manchester (CAM). Featuring a number of Manchester and UK premieres and new commissions, Trade City has generated innovative forms of exchange across the citys art scene. Contemporary Art Manchester is a new, not-for-profit consortium of visual arts organisations, representing the breadth of the current contemporary arts infrastructure in Manchester, UK. In bringing together the art production of thirteen diverse organisations, Trade City reflects the trading and exchange that has taken place between the artists and curators partnering in CAM. Each participating organisation has selected artists to work with that are representative of their curatorial approach or position, alongside exploring multi-faceted interpretations of trade. As a result, the presented works of twenty-six emergent to established international artists trade off each other in one space, creating aesthetic and spatial interplays, whilst addressing ideas of cultural, economic, geographical and political exchange. In collectively working on an exhibition and presentation format CAM explores the ways in which contradictions or tensions and harmonies can co-exist within such frameworks, and in the case of Trade City, under one roof. An open system, the nature of co-operative working through CAM engages with notions of democracy, collectivity and self-organisation, examining and revealing the practices of people engaged with creative work within Manchester, who may be operating through less formal structures, or on the periphery of the city. Through collaboration CAM aims to redress this balance, creating a new central structure or core for the production and dissemination of contemporary art. ------------------ Trade City is organised by Contemporary Art Manchester (CAM), in association with Manchester International Festival 2009 (MIF 09). Supported by Arts Council England and Urban Splash. Contemporary Art Manchester is supported by Arts Council England.

Exhibition | Installation


littlewhitehead is the artistic entity created by Craig Little and Blake Whitehead. Approaching subjects with the unabashed manner of a child, littlewhitehead+rsquo;s work plays with notions of reality and unreality, between the realisation of a fiction and the fictionalisation of the real. Through the manipulation of familiar imagery, events and emotions, littlewhitehead creates moments of intrigue, instantly recognisable whilst simultaneously sinister and perplexing. The Fourth Wall continues the artists+rsquo; use of theatrical elements and their continual fascination with involving the audience in their work, on this occasion attempting to play a joke on them. The work is influenced by a continual dialogue between Craig and Blake, who exploit littlewhitehead as a vehicle to express their own subconscious musings, suppressed desires and taboo narratives. Craig Little (b 1980) and Blake Whitehead both graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2007. Recent exhibitions have included K Gallery, Milan (2009); Tate Triennial Mobile Conference, Bun House, London (2009); Bloomberg New Contemporaries, A Foundation, Liverpool (2008).
