I will be giving a talk at the University of Nottingham, School of Geography as part of their research seminar program.
ALL WELCOME!
For any queries about the seminar please contact: [email protected]
The School is at the forefront of research into Cultural Geography. Work by Stephen Daniels , David Matless, Briony McDonagh, Susanne Seymour and Charles Watkins has explored the relationship between the design, representation and experience of landscape and the formation of personal, local, national and imperial identities in England from the 16th century to the present day. This longstanding English focus in work at Nottingham has been supplemented by Alex Vasudevan’s research on the landscapes of contemporary photography
I will be doing an artist talk on behalf of the North East Photography Network at the Mining Institute in Newcastle on 5th December to discuss my practice and recent projects. The talk will start at 18.30 and will be followed by refreshments in the Library.
The event is free however booking is requested. Please register via eventbrite here.
An In Conversation event at Third Floor Gallery with David Hurn (right), Ewen Spencer (middle) and myself (left). Cardiff, 31 August 2012.
Third Floor Gallery warmly invites you to a conversation between Ewen Spencer, Simon Roberts and David Hurn. These three leading documentary photographers have all had exhibitions at Third Floor. “Teenagers” by Ewen Spencer brought us to the streets of East London and its nascent grime scene. “We English” by Simon Roberts is a visual poem of the English at leisure. “Passing Time” by David Hurn brought us 55 years of photography, much of which revolved around Hurn’s return to Wales in the 1970’s.
Ewen Spencer has published extensively, including with The Face and “Open Mic”, which documents the mid-2000s East London grime scene in his very recognizable, personal style. He has also worked on major advertising commissions for the likes of Nike, Puma, T mobile and Sony, as well as the TV series “Skins”.
David Hurn has a rich and varied career and has published and exhibited widely. From documenting the Soviet invasion of Hungary, to creating the advertising photographs for James Bond and Barbarella, Hurn is one of the most renowned members of the Magnum agency. After returning to Wales, Hurn established the documentary photography course in Newport in the 1970’s, and finished his longlasting document of Wales: “Land of my Father”.
As part of my exhibition, Let This Be A Sign, at Swiss Cottage Gallery I will be leading a tour of the show and a placard making workshop on Saturday 16 June, 2 – 4.30pm.
I will be joined by Guy Atkins, from the Save Our Placards project.
The workshop is suitable for all ages and is FREE!
