"Photographic Art" is the forthcoming exhibition by Marie
Stone at Hastings
Arts Forum's Gallery Two, 19-31 January; "Marie worked
for two years at Madame Tussauds getting to meet a host of well-known
faces including the Dalai Lama, Joanna Lumley, Tony Blair, Linford
Christie, Hugh Grant, Pierce Brosnan and Lenny Kravitz. Throughout
her time at Tussauds, Marie had also been building up her own
portrait and wedding business and after two years took the bold
step to start out by herself. So keen on not losing Marie’s
abilities, Madame Tussauds kept Marie as their main photographer
on a freelance basis, a role she still has today, sending her
around the world to photograph such high profile celebrities as
Morgan Freeman, Samuel L. Jackson and Serena Williams."
Fairlight
based Nigel
Green's "Reconstruction" is at UCA Canterbury's Herbert
Read Gallery from 20 January - 14 February; "Reconstruction
is a photographic project documenting the post First and Second
World War architecture of Picardy in Northern France. Representing
a unique expression of architectural influences, the buildings of
the reconstruction define a form of vernacular modernism that extends
from the 1920s to the 1970s. The exhibition at the Herbert Read
Gallery will be the first show of the project in the UK. A book
to accompany the project is also available and includes a specially
commissioned essay by the architectural historian Martin Kew Meade".
