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

World Press PhotoThe 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. Photofusionhas 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 Artis 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.
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. |
