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: Louis Porter

October 23, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

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. One of our writers, Martha Morley, spoke to Louis about the body of work… I was excited to interview Louis Porter, about his latest exhibition Anatomy of Business which “examines the visual language of business through the appropriation of an archive of 1980’s financial newspaper photographs, acquired by the artist in […]

AWOL at your Bookshelf

October 23, 2014 by k33711647

As part of Miniclick’s Another Way Of Looking programme, Valus Sonov and Kevin Beck interview individuals and photography groups from across the world about their bookshelves, asking them to find another way of looking at their photobooks and zines. In this edition, Valus and Kevin show their bookshelves and select few ones that made them look and think about photographic medium in a different way. From Valus This is how our (I share the collection with my housemates) bookshelf looks […]

Review: Tom Pullen’s ‘Because I Cannot See’

October 12, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

As our first exhibition as part of this year’s Brighton Photo Fringe comes to a close, photographer and writer, Alexander Norton sent us his review of Tom Pullen’s ‘Because I Cannot See‘… I am instantly drawn to a man with a tidy moustache. His poem echoing around the other voices on show. When all played together a swarm of echoing chants fill your ears. The photographs are more prominent than the other components down to their use of colour. The […]

Review: Tim Hetherington’s ‘Infidel’

September 7, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Over the last 18 months, Miniclick has raised proudly supported the Tim Hetherington Trust, and aided the continuation of his work in Sierrra Leone. A new exhibition at Photofusion shows a selection of his work from Afghanistan. Writer and photographer Dimitra Kountiou visited it for us… Made in Afghanistan, in Korengal Valley where Hetherington spent time with the American soldiers stationed there, Infidel at Photofusion brings to our attention many of the paradoxes of war. Tim’s work in revealing the day to day life of […]

Review: Joan Fontcuberta’s ‘Stranger than Fiction’

August 17, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

One of our new writers, the photographer Dimitra Kountiou, visited Media Space to see Joan Fontcuberta’s new ‘Stranger than Fiction’ exhibition and spoke to the man himself afterward… “Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to all possibilities; truth isn’t” Mark Twain. Good fiction is a fake story but it must be made believable and it has to feel possible. Joan Fontcuberta’s projects that are currently on show at the Science Museum’s Media Space […]

Jon Tonks – Empire

March 30, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Following on from Jon Tonk’s Miniclick talk in March, we’ve been taking a deeper look into his work over on our Tumblr, including some ‘further reading’ projects by other photographers that touch on similar themes, and this quick review of his book… Tonks’ Empire project is fully realised in a sold out book that was released last year. Published by Dewi Lewis and with a foreword from Christopher Lord the book feels every bit as considered, classic and British as the […]
