Date: Friday 5 December 2008
Time: 10.00am – 5.30pm

CRAIG SMITH and Wiebke Leister from the London College of Communication (LCC) will be hosting a one-day conference on photography. What is photographic documentation today? Is its force ever ‘neutral?’ How is it read and what might be its potential applications? The first half of this one-day conference will question the supposed natural linkage between photography, neutrality and the author. The second half demonstrates emerging aspects of the document, its distribution and its status in related media. This event brings together theoreticians and practitioners, directing its discussions to the philosophies of the photographic in contemporary practice. Speakers include: Howard Caygill (Goldsmiths College), Elizabeth Edwards (Photography and the Archive Research Centre at LCC), Carol Mavor, Gary Nickard (former director of CEPA Gallery), Amy Rosenblum-Martín (independent curator NYC), Ralph Rugoff (curator/ director of the Hayward Gallery) and Val Williams (PARC-LCC).

EXHIBITION

‘Devon: A Sound Mind’ by Kris Allan

PHOTOGRAPHER Kris Allan’s touring exhibition of Devon Marston sheds light on living with a mental illness. Sound Minds, a charity based in Battersea, uses music and the arts as a form of therapy for people with mental health conditions. Allan was photographing them five years ago when he met Devon, one of Sound Minds’ founding members and a schizophrenic.

“Of all the people there, I particularly warmed to Devon. I made a suggestion to him about doing a form of documentation on his daily life and he agreed,” says Allan.

The show consists of 26 images combined with text from both Allan and Devon. The images are printed by ex-Magnum printer, Glen Brent.

Open to public: Monday 8 December - Monday 22 December, 10.00am – 6.00pm.
