Talk: Sketchbooks – Weds 7th Jan

December 13, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Kicking off 2015, we’re putting on a new night that should inspire everyone to get cracking in the New Year! Sketchbooks will feature three photographers discussing the background to their major projects. What got them excited in the subject matter in the first place? What was the genesis of the idea? What research went into it all and what drives them to keep going with it over months and sometimes years? +++ Wednesday Jan 07th. Doors at 6pm, kicks off at 7pm. […]

Day 6 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 6, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Another day and the Grand Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar rolls on with our regular writer Alexander Norton taking us through Paul Graham’s ‘Does Yellow Run Forever’… The colour yellow has a host of connotations. These are not obvious by any means. Yellow cooperates with gold and gold implies a kind of value. So when considering the question ‘Does Yellow Run Forever?’ we are posed an incredibly in depth answer in return. Paul Graham’s practice has always made us work for the meaning and […]

Interview: Spectrum

November 2, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

This year, during Brighton Photo Fringe for our ‘Another Way of Looking’ programme, we hosted an exhibition of Louis Porter’s ‘The Anatomy of Business’. The show was very kindly sponsored by Spectrum, who printed and mounted the works for us and helped guide us along the way to make sure the final prints were as good as they possible could be. We interviewed them about their unique insight into what goes into an exhibition and who is doing what right […]

Our second exhibition of our Another Way of Looking programme, alongside Brighton Photo Fringe and Biennial, comes from ABC photographer Louis Porter with his “Anatomy of Business” body of work.

October 23, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

On Wednesday we said farewell to Rob Hornstra who has been over in England to work with Miniclick during our Another Way of Looking programme, hosting a talk about The Sochi Project and his DIY Storytelling Workshop. There can be very few photographers who are as generous in sharing their stories, methods and ideas as Rob and the workshop and talk alike were a fantastic insight. The Sochi Project, which Rob worked on for four years with journalist Arnold van […]

Event: Photographs Rendered in Play Doh

October 22, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Lats Saturday we had a great day at The Miniclick Business Concern to launch Eleanor MacNair’s ‘Photographs Rendered in Play Doh‘, with Eleanor, MacDonaldStrand and Photomonitor. People were invited along to recreate their favourite photograph in Play Doh and we had over 50 renderings made during the day (which were then all rolled up into one big blob at the end). Thanks to all those who came along – we’ll be making a ‘zine from all the submissions soon…

The evening opened with Jason using a dice (from his bast […]
