  Rest Yourself Here

  Photograph by Catherine Hyland, Story by Grahame Williams

  EVERY PICTURE TELLS A THOUSAND WORDS...

  A Thousand Word Photos invites photographers to share a photo with a writer who in turn is asked to create a short story of a thousand words inspired by the image they receive.

  Selected short stories are then published online, and read to stroke patients at Hospitals across London by actors working with the charity Interact.

  They are also shared for everyone who enjoys photography, short stories and imagination.

Highlights from the selection include THE LAST CHORD, about dreams and unhealthy parenthood, THE DAY YOU LONG FOR, about a man spending the festive season in hospital after a car accident, coming of age story ADOLESCENCE, and the world premiere of THE FRUIT FIX, about a piano player with anxiety preparing for a life changing audition.

• Dorothea Lange-Paul Taylor Prize

  First announced in 1990, the Dorothea Lange–Paul Taylor Prize was created by the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University to encourage collaboration between documentary writers and photographers in the tradition of the acclaimed photographer Dorothea Lange and writer and social scientist Paul Taylor. In 1941 Lange and Taylor published An American Exodus, a book that renders human experience eloquently in text and images and remains a seminal work in documentary studies.

  Like Lange and Taylor, and all serious documentarians, the competitive applicants to this prize have a point of view derived from an in-depth understanding of place, history, and the current situation, in concert with a personal relationship to the proposed work. Ultimately, their commitment is to use documentary expression to motivate the thinking and reflection of others. 

  Tarrah Krajnak is the 2020 winner of the Dorothea Lange–Paul Taylor Prize.

  Honorable Mention Awarded to Philippe Calia and Sunil Thakkar for “If the House . . . ”

  Finalists: Michel Bührer for “Babel in New York,” Kris Davidson for “The American Imagination,” J Houston for “A Scale of 1 to 10,” Catherine Hyland for “The Traces Left Behind,” Cheryl Mukherji for “Ghorer Bairer Aalo (The Light Outside Home),” Jordan Putt for “Padrino,” Jason Reblando and Joanne Diaz for “La Ruta: Walter Benjamin’s Last Passage,” and Patrick Wack and Julien Syrac for “Minor Differences”

• Photo Vogue Festival 2019 • A Glitch in the System, deconstructing stereotypes

  Converted into an exhibition space, the former industrial complex of Base Milano will host 'A Glitch in the System, deconstructing stereotypes', an exhibition featuring the photographers selected through the scouting initiative launched on PhotoVogue, the photographic platform of Vogue.it, which boasts over 180,000 users, and as a result of the assessment of an internationally acclaimed jury consisting of experts from across the world, with different backgrounds and vision so as to provide the most inclusive and multi-faceted perspective.

  The jury panel is formed by: Aaron Philip (Model), Alessandro Michele (Creative Director, Gucci), Alessia Glaviano (Brand Visual Director, Vogue Italia, L’Uomo Vogue), Alfredo De Stéfano (Founder and Director, Luz del Norte Fotografía), Ana Casas Broda (Photographer), Anastasia Taylor-Lind (Photojournalist), Azu Nwagbogu (Founder and Director, LagosPhoto Festival), David Campbell (Director of Programs and Outreach, World Press Photo Foundation), Dia Mehta Bhupal (Artist), Duan Yuting (Founder and Director, Lianzhou Foto Festival, co-founder and co-director, Lianzhou Museum of Photography), Emanuele Farneti (Editor-in-chief, Vogue Italia, L’Uomo Vogue, Casa Vogue, Vogue.it), FAKA - Fela Gucci and Desire Marea (Artists), Ferdinando Verderi (Creative Director, Vogue Italia), Ibrahim Kamara (Fashion Editor), Ihiro Hayami (Founder, T3 PHOTO FESTIVAL), James Estrin (The New York Times), Jenn Nkiru (Artist and Director), Jimmy Moffat (Founder, Red Hook Labs, and founding partner, Art + Commerce), Joana Choumali (Artist), Kimberly Drew (Writer, Curator, and Activist), Laura Roumanos (Executive Producer and Co-Founder, United Photo Industries and Photoville), Lotta Volkova (Fashion Editor), Marcelo Brodsky (Visual Artist), Michael Famighetti (Aperture Magazine), Michael Van Horne (Director, Image Archive at Art + Commerce), Pamela Chen (Creative Director, Instagram), Rahaab Allana (Curator/Publisher, Alkazi Foundation for the Arts in New Delhi), Rania Matar (Artist), Simon Bainbridge (Editor-in-chief, British Journal of Photography), Simon Baker (Director, MEP), Sophie Klafter (Photographer), Tasneem Alsultan (Photographer), Yumi Goto (Independent Curator, Editor, Educator and Publisher).

  The current edition of the Festival, in keeping with last year’s theme “Embracing Diversity”, aims to continue exploring and promoting diversity in all its form by taking a step further, that is by extending the concept to include not only the subjects whose stories are being portrayed but also those behind the camera who tell those stories.

  It’s not just a matter of choosing to direct the camera towards what mainstream culture does not perceive as familiar, and to promote the diversity of the subjects, but also to reflect on the way we choose to represent the ‘glitch’ – the alleged perceived anomaly within the system – so as to avoid perpetrating clichés and reinforcing an ideological vision that is the result of ignorance and lapse of judgment.

  ‘A Glitch in the System, deconstructing stereotypes’ has been developed as a new chapter in continuity with its history. After considering the power of the female gaze in the artistic scene in the first edition of the festival, aptly titled ‘The Female Gaze’ (2016), exploring the political implications of fashion photography in ‘Fashion and Politics’ (2017), after reflecting on, discovering and promoting diversity in all its forms in ‘Embracing Diversity’ and examining the concept of masculinity in ‘All That Man Is – Fashion and Masculinity Now’ (2018), the 2019 edition of Photo Vogue Festival seeks to broaden our ability to think, both in linguistic and visual terms, and push our thinking a step beyond the known and the familiar, and a step to the side from ideological and mainstream opinions.

  What is necessary is to develop a language that is up to contemporary society, a society that can no longer afford an identity closure outside of history and whose political and social challenges no longer allow us to indulge in social prejudices, false myths surrounding identity or in nostalgic feeling for a bygone world – one that most likely, given what it resembled, nobody would have liked. It is necessary to develop a language, including a visual one, which is broad enough to represent all the complexities of our contemporary society and the endless wealth of the fantastic diversity of the possible existing gazes on our world. In this regard, the other necessary action is the deconstruction of stereotypes on which we cannot lower the guard as the meaning of images changes as quickly as society, its convictions and conventions while too often clichés are replaced with other clichés. Indeed, when a stereotype is decried and introjected as such by a society – as in the association of Africa and hunger or Africa and tribal culture, for instance – even the most noble intentions, perhaps in an attempt to ‘amend’ the cliché, end up establishing the opposite cliché, which is equally unrealistic and discriminatory. An education in visual imagery is essential and whoever, either by profession or passion, decides to represent the world has the duty and obligation to ask himself/herself a whole series of questions. We have made great progress regarding a more inclusive representation of diversity, one that is capable of considering the uniqueness and complexities of humankind. In this sense, the people of the web have positively embodied an increasingly more extensive inclusivity project that has come to influence brands and traditional media alike. The new way of looking at gender fluidity, at the diverse wealth of body types and appearances and at the endless forms of beauty, of ethnic backgrounds and origins is an achievement that is changing the contemporary aesthetic standards and is beginning to alter people’s cultural and identity codes in terms of openness, dialogue and encounter. This started to occur only when the narrative was being extended to include not only those whose story we are telling, but those who tell those stories and who often share the same life experience. This is the aspect to focus on in order to build a vocabulary that can describe the complex reality in which we live. Just like words, or perhaps even more so than words, images can hurt, cause misunderstandings, consolidate prejudices. Therefore, we hope that the 2019 edition of Photo Vogue Festival will contribute to the enrichment of our visual vocabulary in order to facilitate a deeper understanding of our contemporary society.

  The 30 artists selected for the exhibition are: Caleb Stein, Carlo Rusca, Catherine Hyland, David PD Hyde, David Uzochukwu, Dustin Thierry, Evelyn Bencicova, Fee-Gloria Groenmeyer, Guanyu Xu, Guen Fiore, Hajar Benjida, Julia Gunther, Justin Keene, Karim El Makatafi, Mariya Kozhanova, Miguel Proenca, Miora Rajaonary, Mous Lamrabat, Namsa Leuba, Nanna Heitmann, Osborne Macharia, Peyton Fulford, Prarthna Singh, Rhiannon Adam, Romina Ressia, Roselena Ramistella, Rydel Cerezo, Simon Lehner, Supranav Dash, Vikesh Kapoor.

• Prints for Refugees

  MAY 31, 2019,

  In 2015, the world was shaken by the picture of Alan Kurdi, a three-year-old Syrian boy whose lifeless body was washed up on a Turkish beach.

  In desperation to help, photographer Mark Sherratt decided to set up Prints for Refugees in order to raise money for organisations supporting refugees. A collaboration between the photographic community and the humanitarian organisation Doctors of the World, where internationally renowned photographers have generously donated selected artwork to the charity.

  By purchasing photography artwork, you can support Doctors of the World to improve access to quality medical care in communities, near and far. An organisation serving more than 1.6 million people every year in over 80 countries in conflict zones, refugee camps and rural communities, providing care,creating infrastructure and advocating for the world’s most vulnerable people.

• Sony World Photography Awards’ 2019

  Showcasing exceptional series by the best artists working worldwide in photography, the World Photography Organisation reveals the shortlisted photographers for the Professional competition of the 2019 Sony World Photography Awards. Within the shortlist are seven British photographers who are behind some of the world’s best bodies of work published in 2018. All shortlisted series will be exhibited as part of the 2019 Sony World Photography Awards Exhibition at Somerset House, London, from April 18 until May 6, 2019. 

  The Professional shortlist comprises stunning series selected across ten diverse categories. The six shortlisted British photographers are recognised in three categories. British photographers have excelled in the Landscape category, with four photographers featuring on the shortlist. Edinburgh-based artist Kieran Dodds has been shortlisted for his series Hierotopia, which explores the tiny patches of protected forests surrounding churches in Ethiopia, where farming has led to huge deforestation. West-Yorkshire based academic and artist Yang Wang Preston has been shortlisted for her series To the South of the Colourful Clouds which depicts an otherworldly “ecology recovery” landscape in Haidong Development Zone, Yunnan Province. In this series, Preston studies the environmental impact of turning a rural area into an international leisure town and its dramatic effect on the landscape. Two London-based photographers have also been shortlisted in the Landscape category; Catherine Hyland has been awarded for her series Lithium Mining, in which she uses a muted colour palette to provide a meditative series of landscapes affected by industry. Marco Kesseler’s series Polytunnel focuses on the environment of contemporary British farming, highlighting the hidden landscapes behind which food is produced.

  This year’s Professional competition judging was chaired by Mike Trow (Editor, Photographer and Consultant, UK).

The final selection was made from prints. 54 photographers were selected to exhibit in the IPE 161 touring exhibition which will open at the RPS’s new building in Bristol early next year, before travelling to Birmingham, London, Dublin and Hull. Selections were made by an esteemed panel comprising of curator and founding editor of online magazine Photomonitor Christiane Monarchi, photographer Jack Latham, documentary photographer Jon Tonks, photographer and professor Karen Knorr FRPS and artist, writer, editor and lecturer in photography Aaron Schuman. The selection panel praised the freshness, variety and consistent high quality of entries and winners whom demonstrate photography executed to the highest standard.

  Panel member Jack Latham comments on the award winners, “Whether it is photographing crossroads in America as the world waits to see what leaders do next, reflecting on the space of spiritual contemplation or how we, as a society, deal with climate change. Each of these photographers have demonstrated that photography is as relevant a tool as any other to reflect on our time in history.” The panel was also pleased to welcome a large quantity of works submitted by female photographers.
  “The winners reflect ongoing trends in contemporary documentary photography, developed by a new generation of photographers who are extending the vocabulary using the medium in a profound and reflective way. The attention to detail and selection of images submitted by the winners made us pause. I was impressed by the crafting and
  care dedicated to the photographic image.” – Karen Knorr FRPS.

• Radical Essex - Focal Point Gallery - Twenty One

  Originally commissioned as part of the Radical ESSEX programme, Focal Point Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of photographic works by Catherine Hyland at Twenty One.  
  
  Hyland’s photographs convey the quiet monumentality of Essex’s modernist architecture, now gently embedded into the landscape and consciousness of its residents, visualising the crucial role the county has played in the history of British Modernism and its utopian ideologies.
  
  Reflecting the view from Twenty One, three large-scale images of Southend's sprawling seafront are on display, the brightly coloured rollercoasters of Adventure Island amusement park, entwined with the town's historic pleasure pier - the longest in the world. The imposition of these frivolous leisure structures wrestle for authority over the vast and indifferent estuary horizon.
  
  Alongside these works, the breadth of intriguing and innovative architecture from across the county are shown, including one of Richard and Su Roger's earliest buildings in Ulting, Harlow shopping centre, the space age architecture of Redshank in Lee-over-Sands and the brutalist style of the old Southend central library. 
  
  This exhibition continues until 28 October 2018. More of Hyland's work can be seen in the forthcoming publication Radical ESSEX.

• The Woman, The Gaze, The World

  A new exhibition curated by Crystal Bennes, The Woman, The Gaze, The World is loosely themed around a picking apart of the question of whether women see the world differently than men. Here, “seeing” refers most obviously to the individual artist’s interpretation of the world, but also to something which is further mediated through the camera lens.
  A second element which ties these ideas of seeing and representation to the gender question (which is admittedly provocative) is about what interpretation itself actually means – as woman, artist, and/or photographer. Rather than attempting to establish each body of work as one of universal applicability, the exhibition presents each artist as offering a specific and personal take on photography as a medium and practice through various acts of filtering, of staging, of manipulating the "truth".
  Each artist has been paired with a writer, who has been challenged to create a new piece of writing that responds, however indirectly, to the work of that artist and to the themes in question. The intention here is to add a layer of richness to the exhibition, particularly given the considerable crossover in the way photographers and writers approach reality. Both disciplines frequently tend toward a staging of reality in order to highlight its theatricality and the often flawed assumptions we regularly make about how we think we see the world.
  
  23rd April – 5th May 2013
  The exhibition is open Tuesday - Sunday, 12 - 7pm. 
  Private View Wednesday 24 April from 6-9pm. Please RSVP to hello@crystalbennes.com
  Location: Hanmi Gallery, 30 Maple Street, London W1T 6HA 

• Pink Does Not Exist

  Pink Does Not Exist re-frames a longstanding debate on the nature of perception and reality through the works of eight artists, each of whom represents a unique strategy in dealing with problems of observation and representation.
  The title of the exhibition is a nod to Newton’s discovery of the additive nature of the spectrum of light: white light is a mixture of all the colours in the spectrum – ROYGBIV – while pink, or magenta, is the only colour which does not actually have its own frequency. As such, one could legitimately claim that pink as a colour does not exist, and yet, because of the human brain’s extraordinary malleability, of course we see pink every day. But does this make pink real?
  Exhibited in a private flat in north London, Pink Does Not Exist considers the relationship between questions of perception and the practice of viewing art. The relationship between reality and perception has long been a complex one, but no more so than today. In light of quantum mechanics – in particular, the notion promulgated by Thomas Young’s famous double-slit experiment that reality is fundamentally altered by observation – the works in the exhibition bring to the fore the problem of the observer in perceiving reality.
  
  Curated by Crystal Bennes

Drawn as we are into the promise of a less cluttered life, of a clean and efficient world, many of the facts and realities of science remain a mystery to most of us. From the beginning of the science fiction genre we seem to have revelled in this mystery; demonising, prophesising and fantasising about the future, or yearning for a nostalgia-driven past.'
