Malcolm
Glover / New Work will be the next exhibition at Lucy
Bell Fine Art, from 16 April - 20 May, Wednesday – Saturday
11-4:
"Malcolm Glover has been working on this series of work from
India for the past five years. Much of the work relates to water
and how the Indian people relate to it, not only for leisure and
industry, or practical reasons such as washing and manufacuturing.but
as a spiritual influence in the lives of the Hindu. The Ganges evokes
a historic and ancient meaning to its people, demonstrating how
the elements of water exist on not only a pracical basis but also
on spiritual level.
These layers of life are held together throughout Glover’s
new work from India, showing not only documentary representations
of his subjects, but by subtely stitching the pieces together we
feel a sense of humanity and vunerablity. So the narrative not only
has a documentary feel but there are other layers evident, which
is what makes Glovers work so special. The prints are 4ft long."

practice and the various challenges that can block a project moving
forward. There will also be an opportunity, all day on Sunday, to

of Brighton Hastings, Priory Square Building, main lecture theatre:
"Man
on the Moon – Broadcasting history in the making. A talk by
Alastair Fairley MA, Director of the Fairley Archive of Space Exploration.
In July 1969, ten years of the space race climaxed when Neil Armstrong
became the first man to walk on the moon. But it wasn’t just
a mark of man’s greatest achievement in the twentieth century
– it was the world’s biggest news story.
Using rare archive material from his late father’s ITN archive,
Alastair Fairley looks at how that story was brought to millions,
moment-by-moment, breaking new boundaries in television journalism
yet dogged throughout by technical hitches, rudimentary technology
and outdated values.
Free to all, please can you book via return email mediaenterprise@brighton.ac.uk."

The next Photology
talk is on Monday 4th February and will be upstairs at JD
Bar, just opposite the usual venue Bullet Coffee House. February's
talk will be by Vasileios Kantas PhD entitled "On Images That
Maintain An Appeal":
"Drawing examples from established practitioners such as Eggleston,
Winogrand, Winship, Petridis, as well as from his own photography
portfolio, Vasileios will present his viewpoint on how some images
achieve to preserve a never ending enthusiasm to its onlooker. By
analyzing the progress of his practice throughout his involvement
with the medium, along with enriching his visual inquisitiveness
with theorists’ claims (such as Barthes, Van Lier, Flusser,
Laruelle and Rivellis) Vasileios will illustrate the directorial
strategies of a photographer whose practice oscillates between that
of an intuitive practitioner and an academic researcher."
