Theatre of the Actors of Regard 

 @heraldsunphoto_retro : 1962. Melbourne recently took a step backwards into the more gracious, less frenzied days of "the gaslight era" when the Lord Mayor, Cr M. Nathan, lit this shapely old gas lamp in Collins St. The lamp, now nearly 80 years old, had been preserved for the city by a private estate and, with enthusiasm all round, the State-controlled Gas and Fuel Corporation co-operated to bring the lamp back into full operation. This they did by laying new pipes and fitting the lamp with a time clock which turns it on at dusk and off at one a.m. daily. Girl at the base is Jenny Boyle, POST cover girl, dancer and gaslight admirer.

Here are a couple of TARmatic others :

In the opening minute of the Cats v Swans Grand Final at the MCG yesterday, one hundred thousand-plus TARists hold their breath as Tom Hawkins lines up a Dom Sheed angle to goal. It's a faction to the right for one point only. Hawkins then kicks the opening two goals and it's Cats all the way to the finish.

How to tell if you are/not a clairvoyant/dog/ curator regarding a crystal ball/picture/1000 words/more/less

(advertisement)      

‘A picture tells a thousand words.’ This adage is the inspiration for an innovative new exhibition, in which the public becomes the curator.

A Thousand Words presents 100 of the most compelling photographic images from the rich collections of Sydney Living Museums and the State Archives and Records Authority of NSW, created between the 1880s and the 1980s.

A Thousand Words adopts a philosophy that everyone can interpret history through the lens of their background, experiences, values and aspirations. Unlike a standard exhibition, the images are presented without traditional curatorial interpretation. Instead, the public have been invited to contribute responses – whether emotive, nostalgic or imaginative – and this ‘crowdsourced’ material translated into the exhibition design. New creative works have also been commissioned from established and emerging writers and artists, each responding to an image from the exhibition.

View and respond to some of the unique images at #OneWordWednesday and #SayitonSaturday, on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

A Thousand Words is also available as an online exhibition.

A Thousand Words is a collaboration between Sydney Living Museums and State Archives.

Jean-Pierre Laffont & Reg V. Brock

  
NEW YORK, NY. - In 2020, French-American photographer Jean-Pierre Laffont received The Lucie Award for Achievement in Photojournalism and The Visa D’Or Award of the Figaro Magazine for Lifetime Achievement.

To celebrate those achievements, Sous Les Etoiles Gallery is presenting a collection of photographs that represent the twenty five icons of his long carrier as a photo journalist in United States from November 3rd to December 12th, 2020.

For more than three decades, starting in 1964, Jean-Pierre Laffont travelled all fifty states seeking to document as wide of a range of compelling American stories, and he also photographed celebrities both French and American along with all the politicians of the times. He spent eight years at the White House as a foreign correspondent and photographed several presidents. He produced in-depth photo essays of the rise of the World Trade Center, the gangs in the Bronx, and the violence on 42nd Street.

"When I look back at the individual photographs I took during this quarter-century period, comments Jean-Pierre Laffont, the images at first seem to depict a ball of confusion… riots, demonstrations, disintegration, collapse and conflict. Taken together, the images show the chaotic, often painful, birth of the country where we live in today: 21st-century America. They do what photographs do best: freeze decisive moments in time for future examination. These photographs form a personal and historical portrait of a country I have always viewed critically but affectionately, and to which I bear immense gratitude."

Jean-Pierre Laffont attended the School of Graphic Art in Vevey, Switzerland, where he graduated with a Master’s Degree in Photography. He is a founding member of the Gamma USA and Sygma Photo News agencies. His photos were published in the world's leading news magazines, including Le Figaro, London Sunday Times, Newsweek, Paris Match, Stern, and Time Magazine.

Image Reader

 

Image Reader considers how do we visually read, internalise, process or decode the images that circulate around us? Engaging with four artists who destabilise a linear reading of the image—Guy Grabowsky, Nina Gilbert, Ry Haskings and Eliza Hutchison—Image Reader explores the power photography has to visually communicate, and subconsciously influence our reading of the world.

Acutely attuned to this subliminal process of visually reading, the artists in Image Reader obscure the lines between the legible and the indecipherable, moving between digital, analogue and sculptural photographic practices. By highlighting the non-linearity of memory, the architectural and site-specific contexts images inhabit, or through drawing our attention to the overlooked in beguiling ways, Image Reader points towards a visual language that is simultaneously perplexing, deeply idiosyncratic and constantly present, whether we can read it or not.
