MAP2010 - First Year MA Photography Show
Brighton Media Centre Gallery: Thurs 17th Sept - Wed 30th Sept 2009
www.map2010.co.uk
Working across a range of related media and genres: video, photography, documentary, portraiture, high allegory, archival practice, conceptual art, the photographers in this exhibition (all part-time students on the MA Photography at the University of Brighton), are, in their different ways seeking a way of working with the relationship between the changing network of technologies that constitutes
photography today and deeper, historically rooted questions about how we can make pictures that adequately reflect our experience of modernity, our relationship to place, our sense of what it is to be a person, and our ability to imaginatively reconstruct the world in a way that will allow us to reflect upon it.

What Is Crime? Photography Competition
Caught on Camera: Britain's Best Crime Photography What's more harmful - prejudice or war? Pollution or bullying?
The finalists in a major new art contest tackle these difficult issues in arresting style.
http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/features/caught-on-camera-britains-best-crime-photography-1696256.html
What Is Crime? is at 198 Gallery, 198 Railton Road, Brixton, London SE24 0JT. 9th July - 28th August
Two of my images were selected for exhibition.
1. Four Shades of Blue in Sixty Eight Shut Down Shops: As the ‘credit-crunch’ turns into recession nowhere are the visual signs more obvious than our High Street shops. The rose-tinted notion of Britain as a ‘nation of shopkeepers’ is fading into the past as the High Street becomes an empty melancholic ‘non-place’ - everywhere and yet no-where. As The Banks are cast in the role of villain it is their so-called ‘fat-cat’ CEOs who still take early retirement on the back of obscene golden handshakes.
2. Sunday 9.58pm: In the post-modern urban landscape multi-storey car parks exist as ambivalent non-spaces. As darkness falls the concrete pillars, railings and ramps take on a new significance, illuminated by the eerie glow of fluorescence. That which often goes unnoticed is made visible. You may be in the heart of a city, surrounded by thousands of people but while the city sleeps our dreams and fears take on an ominous immediacy. The threat of violence weighs heavy on our subconscious, fed by the culture of fear that we live in.
