12 Oct - 23 Nov COLOURS UNTITLED Evi Lemberger, Tanya Long The photographic works of both Tanya Long and Evi Lemberger at first couldn’t possibly appear any more different. Long’s abstract, geometric, camera-less images fall under the category of fine art. Lemberger’s objective, traditional images are documentary in style. By placing the works of these two photographers together in one exhibition it will show that although the two seem vastly different, they are indeed quite similar. Both women depend heavily on traditional compositional techniques. Long favours the modernist motif of the grid to express her experience of London’s urban landscape. Lemberger uses that of 1950’s American photographers in her socio-economic |

16 Oct - 15 Nov HAND-MADE PHOTOGRAPHS IN THE DIGITAL AGE Geoff Chaplin, Alex Chater, Hellena Cleary, Julian Smart, Tom Sobota, Hamish Stewart Six artists working with historical pigment print processes. To view the work of these six photographers is to gain an insight into the rich variety of technologies and methods utilised by photography since its inception 170 years ago. Yet today just a handful of these continue to be practised. This is a rare opportunity to see first hand photographic prints made using methods now largely forgotten - but kept alive through the dedicated efforts of a select group of individual artist/researchers. |

The project settled the area Transcarpathia, which belonged to different countries, such as Hungaria, Czech Slovakia, Transcarpathia, Sovjet Union and Ukraine. Nowadays it is economical and political neglected: The area has about 80 % unemployment and most people have their own land to get their food. Although the area is highly multicultural and multi religious which live peacefully together. By talking to people I draw a very personal picture, of the people, the place and their identity. |

09 Oct - 04 Dec Re-enactors Jim Naughten Every summer thousands of people from all over the world gather in a Kentish field and leave the present firmly behind. They step out of their routine daily lives and transform in to historical characters from the First and Second World Wars, often with such vigour and obsessive attention to detail that its hard to imagine them in contemporary settings. Taking on a different name, identity and sometimes even a different tongue, the role players re enact battles and drills from an imagined past. It is something more than acting, a collective fantasy played out on a massive scale. |

01 Oct - 02 Nov RECENT WORK Linda Duffy, Dolores Sanchez Calvo, Pi Villaseñor Muñoz, Mandy Williams Linda Duffy, Pi Villaseñor Muñoz, Mandy Williams and Dolores Sanchez Calvo’s photographic project reflects their interests in sculpture and installation. Their new exhibition explores place as memory, a receptacle of marks and traces that can be subtle or transformative, an environment shaped by physical and emotional interactions. Duffy captures the time between the making of marks and the erasure of evidence, fragments of memories are printed as still lives on Villaseñor Muñoz’s ceramic boxes, Williams explores lost homes and broken domesticity through a series of small paper houses and Calvo creates images where the city and the social individual merge metaphorically. |

01 Nov - 24 Nov A FAMILIAR GLANCE OVER THE SHOULDER Mijkle Presented in the beating heart of the east London community is a selection of photographs that take a moment - grabs that moment - and holds it up to the light. This selection draws our attention to the people and places that occupy these moments. Here in London these images are seemingly very far away - exotic and distant even. However, our east London community has a broader view of the world and these images resonate a tradition, history and culture much closer to home – a familiar glance over the shoulder. |

The project began when Andrew starting photographing the holy days and festivals on the streets of Stamford Hill. Over time he has built up connections and friendships with key figures in the community that have led him to have exceptional access into family and community life which have rarely been documented. These include rite of passage ceremonies such as a Bris (circumcistion), Upsherin (haircutting ceremony), holy days such as Sukkot (feast of tabernacles) and Tu B’Shevat (blessing of the trees). |

Hunter has stolen moments from several eras juxtaposing modern London icons like the Vespa scooter with a Museum designer dressed in a 1770s ‘panier’ dress. The beautifully staged portraits are rich with colour yet intensely dark, reminiscent of the old masters style. |

The subjects are photographed in their own homes, in the midsts of their inner worlds, reflecting the artist's fascination with the relationships between reality and fantasy, vision and imagination. The 3D format, with a vintage charm of its own, brings to life the magical and nostalgic qualities of photography, while offering the viewer a momentary flight from their own immediate reality. |

23 Oct - 21 Nov TOM LOVELACE: RUPTURES Tom Lovelace A solo exhibition of new photography work by Tom Lovelace. Ruptures is a continuation of Lovelace’s working practice which fuses photography with sculpture and acts of intervention, resulting in the creation of environments that exist solely for the camera. Each scene is constructed to life-size, presenting disconcerting scenarios that lie on the cusp between reality and fiction. For Ruptures, Lovelace has engaged in acts of physical dissecting and fragmenting the landscape to produce a series of new works that oscillate between the mundane and the fantastical. |

09 Oct - 09 Nov DR KARANKAS PRINT STRAVAGANZA Dr Karanka (plus open submissions) Dr Karanka's Print Stravaganza is a nomadic photography exhibition open for everybody. The tradition this far is to find a location to host the show that allows for a few drinks and a box of accumulated prints will travel there and a show/party held. The organizer of each individual show will provide curation for the event (usually limited by available wall space). Creative ways of showing photographs are encouraged, such as hanging boards of prints from ropes, bluetacking them on walls or clipping them on wires. After all, the whole mess was born for a one-off show in one man's (Dr Karanka’s!) living room. |

07 Nov - 13 Nov 116 TO SEA Joe McGorty An exhibition of photography by Joe McGorty in collaboration with The Ride Journal
“As the pinks and reds of a setting sun gave way to the deeper hues of night, we gently paced our way out of the tight bright urban sprawl into the space and calm of the countryside. Up ahead, the column of cyclists formed a shifting string of blinking red lights, stretched out along the road, twisting lithely like a living organism next to the stationary lights of the queuing traf?c.” The Dunwich Dynamo, the annual 116 mile all-night bike ride from London to the Suffolk coast, took place on the 4th of July 2009 the Saturday nearest the full moon. Joe McGorty's distinctive photographic style captures the spirit and feel of this unique ride. |

15 Nov - 20 Nov Music is Life Tanya Traboulsi A project in progress, photographer Tanya Traboulsi’s series “Music is Life” captures the Lebanese underground scene in all its edginess and diversity. From rap to rock and electronic to experimental, Beirut’s exciting new breed of alternative musicians are captured on stage and in the studio. On the cusp of gaining mainstream attention, many of these artists are already signed to major record labels. Names such as Lumi, RGB and Scrambled Eggs are permeating the international music scene. Traboulsi’s images give an intimate, up-front account of a scene on the make. (Text: Matthew Mosley)

The images are juxtapositions of portraits and interviews taken by the photographer during the more than six hours she was forced to spend in the area of the Bank of England due to the use of the "kettling" tactic by the police. They show a perspective strikingly different from the violent images with which the media summarised the events. |

19 Nov - 22 Nov Hal Silver Photography Department at RCA The enigmatic Hal Silver has proven a fascinating, if largely under-recognized figure, to scientists and historians alike. Following his pioneering discoveries concerning light within a vacuum, Silver retreated into relative obscurity, reportedly continuing his own reclusive experiments into 'inconceivable space'. Little is known of his intentions or methods during this period. After his untimely disappearance the remaining contents of Silver's studio – the 'impossible room' - were found to be cryptic and indecipherable. Lending both name and inspiration to this exhibition, Hal Silver is also the collaborative title under which a selection of current students from the Photography department at the Royal College of Art will continue to work. |

20 Oct - 25 Oct SURFACE + DEPTH Ben Martin ‘Surface + Depth’ is a photography exhibition organised by the friends and family of Ben Martin (1985 – 2009) to celebrate his short yet accomplished life. Bringing together 22 images of the people and landscapes he encountered during his travels in India and Cambodia in 2004 and 2006, this will be the first commemorative exhibition to demonstrate the artist’s raw, sophisticated talent. The money raised from the sale of Ben’s photographs will go towards setting up a community project in Westminster giving local children the opportunity to develop their photography skills, a project which Ben himself would undoubtedly have encouraged. |

03 Oct - 31 Oct TAKEN IN LONDON Paul Baldesare, Peter Marshall London is one of the world's great cities and its most photographed. Both photographers in this show work on its streets, with Paul Baldesare looking at the city as a market in which consumers are surrounded by advertising, shop window displays and other consumer pressures but still retain an individuality and autonomy in gestures and body language with at times a surprising intimacy in these very public places. Peter Marshall looks at politics and various aspects of political action on the street, with a small selection of images from his massive on-line project (now over 40,000 images), 'My London Diary.' |

01 Oct - 30 Oct A FLEETING INNOCENCE Tim Bowditch A Fleeting Innocence is my response to growing up and moving from my humble childhood home of Guernsey to the sprawling city of London. The work, partially funded by the Guernsey Arts Commission and the Centre Fold Gallery was made during my last couple of weeks in Guernsey. Working at the end of August between 7 and 8pm I captured the fleeting moments of summer, the transition from day to night reflecting my own imminent transition. The backlit images, displayed on large-scale light boxes invite the viewer to contemplate the prospect of moving off the island and allude to fleeting childhood memories. |

REMIND ME OF WHERE I NEVER LIVED online Marta Soul, Paco Valverde, Julio Álvarez Yagüe Three Spanish photographers have found a new realm in between reality and fiction; stories that never happened but we all have in our minds. Marta blends social documentary and staged reality and suggests new identity roles and different ways of looking at immigration. Paco portrays absent characters and, subtly, the particularities of these ordinary lives turn into a very recognisible story. And Yagüe uses visual effects to evoke the mechanisms of our mind and how we construct our identity. Are these simply good observations of the common place? Or is this fictional realism a new way to address our individuality? |

18 Sep - 30 Nov BUSSANA VECCHIA Mariann Fercsik Bussana Vecchia is an old village in the north of Italy. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1887, and remained a ghost town until it was later rebuilt in the 60s by artists who arrived from Italy and other countries. The Bussana series of portraits allows one to feel the atmosphere in which the inhabitants can live an alternative, free and complete life isolated from the bustle of modern society. |

06 Nov - 22 Nov STATE OF PLAY Sandra Jacobs, Verdi Yahooda Sandra Jacobs’ photographs collected on a series of walks on the seashore in Norfolk, resonate with childhood preoccupations and pleasurable memories of open ended time spent on the same beach with her family every summer. Verdi Yahooda’s photographs of utilitarian objects are removed from their context. Her notions of play stem from the intuitive process of arranging objects. By providing each object with a solitary space, her images acquire a degree of autonomy and a separate identity. |

22 Nov - 26 Nov FUNKSTYLES Erika T. Bergère, Thomas Alexander Fletcher The exhibition is an installation representing a discotheque of yesteryear, an empty room lit with a discoball and confetti scattered on the floor. The walls are covered with photographs of dancers and dance groups in London, using experimental forms of photography. There is a projection piece displaying moving shadows of dance forms. In a quirky re-creation, the viewer finds themselves immersed in a soulful experience, creating a space connecting the viewer as performer and onlooker with his/her physical surroundings. It aims to capture the modern essence of the funk genre today - as a music and style of dance. |
