Review: Jimmy Nelson’s “Before they Pass Away”

November 24, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Jimmy Nelson’s “Before They Pass Away” received a lot of column inches when it opened at Atlas Gallery last month. A few weeks later our writer and resident exhibition wanderer, Dimitra Kountiou visited to see what the fuss was about and to see, now the dust has settled, if her initial opinions might have dulled a little. The gallery and the artist were both contacted for this review, but neither commented. Strolling in the streets of Marylebone, a huge photograph […]

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 […]

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…
