31.03.11 - Belfast to Derby
Went to the Format Festival in Derby and saw some great photographic exhibitions all over town; I also had a couple of portfolio reviews – very daunting experience whoever you are especially as it’s the first time previewing the wedding dress work. Interesting reviews with Photofusion, 1000 Words magazine and got to talk with my all time hero Eric Kessell - what an inspiration. Lots to follow up.
Final hand-in for PGCE – YES! Up all night and cab at 5 am for quick trip to Belfast to visit University of Ulster’s MA photography course and chat to PhD students. Belfast was wet and grey; Ulster was fantastic – what great facilities. Everyone was so friendly, lots of great conversations in the morning and then spent the afternoon sitting in on an MA group crit.
Started Hidden – course at The Tate - based around Susan Hiller’s current exhibition– Led by Richard Martin and Lucy Scholes. A very varied course looking at film, installation, film, psychoanalytical theory- all good stuff for the next 6 Saturday mornings!
