November FORUM - The Importance of Art Schools

The next FORUM will be on Thursday 24th November, 6.30pm at Turner House. 

This month the discussion will question how relevant traditional places of learning are to today's artists. 

With rising fees for education in recent years and with the notion of art scenes no longer restricting themselves to major cultural hubs, we will ask: Is a university course a necessity? 

If a course is undertaken, what does the artist gain from this experience? What other available avenues are there for guidance and critical discourse with peers? Is an MA course still the logical next step for graduates? What are the realistic alternatives?

Also we will be be pleased to host artist Nic Hughes who will be showing some of his recent work.

Turner House is Ffotogallery's exhibition space in Penarth, on Plymouth Road (CF64 3DH).

Hereford Photography Festival

The Hereford Photography Festival opens tonight and runs until Saturday 26th of November.

This Friday 7th of October we have the screening of the feature

length documentary film "Isolation", with Stuart Griffiths and

entrance is free, but we more than welcome you dropping some of those

heavy coins into our fundraising hat.

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=167395870012146

The Friday after, the 14th of October at 7pm, we have the opening of

Sergey Chilikov's "Selected Works". This is a large series of

photographs by the Russian photographer, and due to a fair deal of

nudity not particularly suitable for children. On the other hand, if

you're an adult, you might rather enjoy these beautiful, slightly

grim, and very often humorous pieces. This exhibition has been

possible thanks to Otley Brewing Company, and has been produced with

help from Photographer.Ru and the School of Film, Photography and

Digital Media of Newport University. Schilt Publishing is as well

getting out the book "Sergey Chilikov: Selected Works 1973-", which

will be available at the opening.

WAYS OF LOOKING A NEW PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL IN BRADFORD

Ways of Looking is currently looking for a team of committed volunteers to help with the smooth running of the festival. Volunteers will support and facilitate events and activities taking place throughout the festival, working face to face with the public offering information and helpful guidance to festival visitors. This is a great opportunity to gain valuable experience of working with professional arts organisations, as part of a nationally important photography festival. Apply by Friday 9 September 2011.

The festival will address, overturn, and playfully interact with photography’s assumed status as evidence in a range of arenas including history, politics, science, law, and conflict. Ways of Looking offers multiple curatorial approaches to the theme, ranging from museum institutions to grass-roots collectives. Many of the works have been specially commissioned for the festival and will be shown for the first time in Bradford.

Featured artists and collectives include: Diane Bielek, Jeremy Deller, Alan Dunn, Invisible Flock, Simon Ford, Douglas Gordon, Bradford Grid, Shanaz Gulzar, Colin Lloyd, Daniel Meadows, Red Saunders, and Donovan Wylie.

Roses, Donika, 13, from 'Life After Zog'

Course: BA Documentary Photography, University of Wales Newport

'Life After Zog and Other Stories' is a portrait of Albania 20 years after the collapse of Communism, as the country tries to throw off its past and move forward. It shows a country on the verge of change, a candidate to the European Union, longing for what is new and modern.

Tocci visited the countryside of the Northern mountains, the cities, schools and prisons: discovering an enchanted place inhabited by people who ‘share the land with their ancestors’ ghosts.’ A place where time and history often seem to have abruptly stopped, but blood feuds and melancholic disillusions persist.

RICK DAVIES: INVISIBLE LANDSCAPES

Opening Wednesday 10 August 2011, 6.30 – 8.30pm

Exhibition continues 11 – 27 August 2011

Admission Free

Rick Davies’ panoramic prints go beyond what the eye normally sees and provide insights to our contemporary industrial and post-industrial experience. The artist’s elongated vistas of places such as Milford Haven and Port Talbot show how concrete and steel structures and petrochemical plants have become embedded in the landscape, with incongruous industrial and leisure activities taking place side by side.

Invisible Landscapes is the second exhibition in Ffotogallery’s Wish You Were Here summer season, focusing on emerging photographic artists in Wales.

DAWN WOOLLEY: VISUAL PLEASURE

Opening Wednesday 20 July 2011, 6.30 – 8.30pm

Exhibition continues 21 July – 6 August 2011

Admission Free

In a provocative and sometimes hilarious fashion, Visual Pleasure examines the act of looking and being looked at. Referring to psychoanalysis, phenomenology and feminism, Dawn Woolley considers both her own experience and that of the viewer when looking at her as a female and a photographic object. In a practice that encompasses photography, video, sculpture, installation and performance, Woolley questions how we interpret what we see and how meaning is created by social regulation, expectation and desire.

Visual Pleasure is the first exhibition in Ffotogallery’s Wish You Were Here summer season, focusing on emerging photographic artists in Wales.
