A conversation with Rut Blees Luxemberg and David Campany

Last Week I went to a conversation between German photographer Rut Blees Luxemberg and photographer/critic David Campany. The great part of the talk was that it was a conversation which originally came about for when the two would go around London to the spots where Rut had photographed with a lightbox and the transparency and discuss the work. I originally came about her work as a result of the album covers for Bloc Party and The Streets and it was interesting to hear Rut when discussing these pictures she said she had "Sold Out". I guess this was the main reason that interested me in this talk was that it was to discuss Rut's photography and not the industry or "Commercial" aspects of photography. I really liked the tube station pictures done in centenary celebrations of the stations designed by architect Charles Holden. `David Campany is exactly how I thought he would be a great critic on the medium and an amazing talker.

Book review Week 3 - Mitch Epstein

I'm a massive fan of Mitch Epstein's work, I have been looking at a lot of his work lately. I wanted to showcase some of the images from the series 'Family Business' which is a collection of photographs, video clips, text and discussions, it focuses on Mitch's father's business's a once succesful furniture store and some properties he rents out, Mitch is showing the demise of what was once a successful Jewish immigrant dynasty. Mitch's work in this series is really truly inspiring, and it's a shame that you can't see the whole series on his website because the book is full of strong photographs.

I also got out 'work' from the library which comes with a dvd with the video footage from Family Business' which the video stills are made up of, Mitch goes around as a silent witness following his dad as he deals with tricky tennants.

Martin Schoeller

So I have been going on for a while about a catch up on the exhibitions I have been visiting over the summer. As soon as I landed in Paris I noticed Martin Schoeller was having an exhibition at A. Galerie, it seemed like it was more aimed at art buyers as a sort of Paris this is Martin Schoeller, not really a theme to the exhibition more just a showcase of his recent portfolio, but the oppertunity to see large prints of photographs taken on 10x8 should never be missed. Here is the flyer for the exhibition. (On a side note Zidane is one of my heroes).
