LIPSERVICE: Nov 98


News

LIP Online

Hardly news if you are reading this! You can see all the pictures in this edition of LipService - and possibly a few more - in superb full colour reproduction on the LipService web site at www.spelthorne.ac.uk/pm/lip as usual. Bookmark this site. You don't need to own a computer - many public libraries now offer free or low cost internet access and training.

The Association Gallery

Has moved to 81 Leonard St EC2. A short walk or bus ride from Liverpool St in South Shoreditch (nearest underground is Old St). Now part of an area with many photographers and artist's studios and not far from Creative Camera in Hoxton Sq. Regular exhibitions - almost always worth a look if you are passing. Some other galleries round the corner in Curtain Road are also worth a visit - such as Sho (73) and Lift (94). Not far is Dazed & Confused in Old St, and the area is riddled with artists studios - I had a very nice tea with Patrick Heron round the corner last year.

Brunel Show - Staff and visiting tutors

This show at the Beldam Gallery in the Wilfred Brown Building in the university at Cleveland Rd, Uxbridge which closes on 13 Nov includes work by photographers Carol Hudson, Melanie Manchot and Annie Swainson.

The Bechers at Camden

Bernt and Hilla Becher have a show of their industrial landscapes at the Camden Arts Centre, Arkwright Rd, NW3 until 29 Nov. Recommended viewing.

Jenny Matthews

Photographs of women in war zones for an Oxfam campaign. The Brunei Gallery, Thornhaugh St WC1 until 11 Dec

Islington shows

Islington to Edinburgh - photos from both are in the Foyer of Islington Town Hall, Upper St, N1 until 22 Nov. While in Islington look in on St Alban's Place for Original Photographic Prints Gallery and Dolce. Reckless Records in Upper St had good display of Terry Cryer's Jazz portraits in October.

Barbara Ess

Large pinhole photos showing at Faggiionato Fine Arts, 49 Albemarle St until 30 Nov.

Zelda Cheatle

Now at 99 Mount St in Mayfair, a short walk from Hamiltons. Mark Ebans portraits of people taken 20 years apart ends 20 Nov

Rocket Gallery

at 13 Old Burlington St now has a Photo Booth - an area devoted to photography - as well as its main display space.

Tom Blau Gallery

South of the river near Tower Bridge in the reception area of Camera Press is a large display space. When I visited it earlier in the year it was showing some intriguing 360 degree pinhole pictures. Regular photographic shows.




World Press Photo

The 41st of these shows covering 1977 is on show in the Main Foyer of the Royal Festival Hall from 5-29 Nov. Last years seemed mainly depressingly predictable although there were a few signs of life. Perhaps this will be better. Should you read this before 6th Nov I'd recommend a visit then, with the Deirdre Cartwright group performing free in the QEH foyer from 5.15-6.45 as a part of the Oris London Jazz Festival. Also free events most lunch times, on the 27th featuring Pat Crumly - and Commuter Jazz on Friday evenings.

There are also quite a few decent snaps - so I'm told - in the Hayward show - Addressing the Century - 100 years of Art and Fashion.

Photofusion

has joined the rest of us on-line - at www.photofusion.org - where no doubt you can find details of their latest shows and events. Although Brixton may be some way for those who don't live in South London, Photofusion is only 2 minutes walk from the Victoria line station. The new premises have a good display area.

Digital Photo Art

is a new magazine from Creative Monochrome, with its first issue in Sept/Oct 98. It appears to be aimed at the absolute beginner with a background in club photography. A glossy mag with advertising from Nikon, Adobe, Epson, Jessops etc.

Annual subscriptions are £20 for 6 issues. Digital Photo Art, Courtney House, 62 Jarvis Rd, South Croydon, CR2 6HU.

Submissions are welcome on CD, Zip or Syquest - or even on floppy disk and 'There's a small reward for work which is selected.'

DPA is also offering a consultancy service to give impartial advice on equipment to meet specific requirements and also will find quotes, set up systems and give training.
