From the blurb this sounds a really interesting exhibition. Has any one seen it? Only a few days to go.
‘This photographic exhibition explores the changes in Littleton, Cannock since the pit closed in 1993. As someone who grew up in Cannock in the 1970s, Luke Unsworth always knew that the mine was at the heart of the community, and to him it was as much a part of the town as the Chase is. When he returned from college to find a vast empty space where the pit had been he could barely believe his eyes…It had always been there. ‘
The Photographer’s Gallery’s next major exhibitions open on Friday 26 September. Visit there website for a taster of the drawing and photography of contemporary artist Dryden Goodwin, and the fascinating archives exploring Soho in the 1950s & 1960s.
A small group of us are getting together on Wednesday 17th September 2008 at 6.30pm in Rooty’s (the Custard Factory) to discuss some of the ideas that have arisen from our Flickr discussion on setting up a group to push for the establishment of a Photospace for Birmingham. If you are interested please look at our discussion on Flickr Birmingham, and let us know if you are coming.
