Much of the work of Dublin-born Irish photographer Trish Morrissey is a study of the language of photography through still and moving images, using performance and wit as tools to investigate the boundaries of photographic meaning. Although most of Trish's work features her as the protagonist, she does not consider the photographs to be self portraits per se, though they can be read that way. She uses humour as a tool to disarm the viewer, hoping it wil then evaporate, leaving a slow burning psychologically tense afterglow. Weaving fact and fiction, Trish plunges into the heart of such issues as family experiences and national identities, feminine and masculine roles, and relationships between strangers.Her work has been exhibited widely, including in the shows ‘Landscape, Portrait: Now and Then' at the Hestercombe Gallery in 2021; ‘Who's Looking at the family now?' at the London Art Fair 2019 and in the solo show ‘Trish Morrissey: A certain slant of light' at the Francesca Maffeo Gallery in 2018 and most recently in 2022 he exhibition Trish Morrissey, Autofictions; Twenty Years of Photography and Film, at Serlachius Museum Gustaf, Finland.Her work is in the permanent collection of The Museum of Fine Art, Houston, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, The National Media Museum, Bradford and the Wilson Centre for Photography, London and was published in 2022 in the book Autofictions to coincide with the aforementioned exhibition in Finland.In episode 209, Trish discusses, among other things:Her recent retrospective and bookThe Front projectHer parents family albumReading pictures from body languageHer collaborative project with her daughterThe performative side of her practiceA Certain Slant of LightExploring the female experienceEarly lifeResidency in AustraliaWorking with videoReferenced:Andy GrundbergZed NelsonNicholas Nixon, Brown SistersKate BestMark HarriottHilary MantelDiane Arbus“Everything I've done, when I've looked back on it I've realised is actually trying things on.

Tom Wood was born in 1951 in County Mayo in the west of Ireland. He trained as a conceptual painter at Leicester Polytechnic from 1973 to 1976. Extensive viewing of experimental films led him to photography, in which he is self-taught. Between 1978 and 2003 Tom lived in New Brighton, Merseyside, where much of his most famous and celebrated work was produced. He left Merseyside in 2003 for North Wales where he still lives today.Tom has published numerous books, including Looking for Love (1989), All Zones Off Peak (1998), Photie Man (2005) and Men / Women (2013). His work has been included in many group exhibitions, has been the subject of solo exhibitions at ICP, New York; Recontres d'Arles, France; Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow; MoMA, Oxford; FOAM, Amsterdam, The Photographers' Gallery, London and the National Science and Media Museum, Bradford amongst others, and is held in the collections of major international museums. He has also worked with video on a daily basis since 1988, accumulating hundreds of hours of footage of family life. More recently he published Women's Market with Stanley Barker, 101 Pictures, with RRB books and has another book of Irish Work soon to be released also by RRB.Tom's first major British show, Men and Women, was at The Photographers' Gallery in London in 2012. His first full UK retrospective was at the National Media Museum in Bradford in 2013 and his landscape photographs were exhibited for the first time in 2014.On episode 160, Tom discusses, among other things:Presenting people in the right lightHis first move to New BrightonMaking notes from physist Richard Feynmann and James JoyceThe ‘accessibility' of his workHis forthcoming book of Irish workHis first cameraBuying magazines and postcards from charity shopsThe influence of found photosThe DPA workWorking in the chaosHaving the support of Martin ParrThe importance of his enduring collaboration with Padraig TimoneyMaking the work out of love and not wanting to seem ‘professional'‘Not Miss New Brighton'Having hundreds of hours of videoThe influence of underground filmThe Termini bookDog picturesReferenced:Thomas ZanderRichard FeynmannJames JoyceSean HughesAugust SanderBill BrandtJosef SudekPaddy SummerfieldChuck CloseDmitri ShostakovichBenjamin BrittenNeil YoungMartin ParrPeter TurnerPeter FinnemoreChris KillipChristian CajoulleGerhard SteidlDavid ChandlerLewis BiggsMark Haworth BoothJohn BergerMarketa LuskacovaLinda McCartneyBohuslav MartinRobert FrankGraham SmithEd van der ElskenDouglas GordonLisette Model Website (in progress) | Instagram | Forthcoming book: ‘Irish Work'“My way of keeping it as creative as I could was to keep that many balls in the air.

Andy Sewell’s first book The Heath was a winner of the International Photobook Award 2012 and is included in Martin Parr’s The Photobook: A History Vol. III.  His work is found in private and public collections including The V&A Museum, The MAST Foundation, The Museum of London, Columbia University Art Collection, Eric Franck Collection, The Hyman Collection and the National Media Museum. He was born in East London and grew up in the commuter belt north of the city, a place part rural and part suburban.   He now lives in East London again.  His work explores the permeable quality of the boundaries we put between things.  The Heath is about the paradox of a place managed to feel wild.  Something Like a Nest explores the gap between the countryside as an idea, somewhere often imagined and depicted as an escape from modernity, and the messier, enmeshed landscape we find there.  His latest book, Known and Strange Things Pass, just published by Skinnerboox, looks at the cables carrying the Internet across the Atlantic and costal locations they link.  Exploring, in these places where the digital network is concentrated, a literal and metaphorical entwining of worlds we think of as separate - the ocean and the Internet, the close and the distant, the physical and the virtual, what we think of as natural with the cultural and technological.   Andy’s work is defined by the relationships created between pictures.  It is driven by a fascination with the contradictory quality of seeing – the feeling that as we look closer at things they become more lucid, more themselves, and yet, and at the same time, more entangled, unknowable, and mysterious.   On episode 139, Andy discusses, among other things:His new book, Known and Strange Things PassHaving two bodiesThe importance of chanceNoticing what’s thereResearching the projectThe feeling of embodiment from being in waterHis Previous book, Something Like a NestFirst book, The HeathReferenced:Hyperobjects by Timothy MortonSeamus HeaneyHiroshi Sugimoto  Website | Instagram | Twitter“As I grew up, I was taught the more closely you see something, the more you know about it. The more data we have on it, the less mysterious it becomes. I find the opposite is true. The closer you look at stuff the more mysterious, the more entangled it becomes.”

这一期“敏彻斯特评论”节目，我和烂木头（Lassie）一起聊一聊我们在不同的时候去到英国约克郡哈沃斯村子的旅游感想——那里，也是蜚声文坛的勃朗特姐妹的老家。Hiiiii Welcome back to The Minchester Review.In this episode, Lassie joined me in discussing her recent trip to Haworth, a town in northern England where the Bronte sisters lived. Haworth has a special place in my heart: I've been a passionate Bronte fan since I was young and I was fortunate to have visited the parsonage museum twice. I enjoyed every minute there and I was glad so did Lassie (maybe minus the waiting time at the bus stop)!Lassie's Haworth experience was a special one because Bronte Museum was freshly reopened and put on some special policies to ensure the safety of staffs and visitors. Also when the bus didn't come in due time, the local people were very kind to help her. We also discussed how the real deal writer's museum/house asks for such a friendly entrance fee while some place with no real deal (cough cough Jane Austen Centre in Bath) charges a lot and how the experience at a National Trust estate differs from that in the Bronte museum.04:15 Lassie's first taste of Yorkshire was to Shibden Hall, Halifax09:00 Unlike the Jane Austen Centre in Bath, the Bronte Parsonage Museum presents real life objects that allows visitors to build an indirect connect with the writers13:33 Catherine's first time to Haworth was a 'very very sunny day', the second time 'not Brontely' neither15:35 With the uncertain prospect of author's house, Lassie finally decided to make the trip to Haworth17:00 You can support Bronte Museum via its Just Giving website18:45 Lassie wants to find out more about Yorkshire because her friend Joe worked there for 6 months as a crew member of ACGAS21:10 Lassie departed from Manchester Victoria Station to Hebden Bridge22:07 Catherine's two travelling experience: one time from Bradford, another from Keighley24:40 National Media Museum, Bradford - a hidden gem in the north25:50 The north provides lots of opportunities for British TV industry talents27:35 The schedule of Covid19 test required Lassie to put the trip on a Sunday when the bus to the museum didn't show up...31:22 The local people in Haworth stepped out to help36:45 Visitors need to book their time slot now39:10 Entrance ticket price is very friendly!43:28 A normal house on the outside, a lot of wonderful things in the inside46:05 Catherine was surprised to find Lassie only spent 1 hour in the main building of Chatsworth House49:20 The museum's policy to control the number of visitors53:08 Anne Bronte's embroidery introduces Lassie to this youngest sister of the Bronte family56:20 Patrick Bronte used to send his daughters' pieces of belongings to fans as souvenirs58:53 Experience in National Trust places can be quite different59:20 Why there is no tea room in the museum?01:01:00 There seemed always to be a study room for the males of the house, but the female writers (Brontes and Elizabeth Gaskell) did not own a study01:12:10 A real wedding at the Haworth church!Music: Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights

March 21 – July 22, 2016Kathleen O. Ellis GalleryGallery Talk: Wednesday, March 23, 6pmReception: Wednesday, March 23, 5-7pmWith her photographic projects, Japanese artist Miki Soejima walks the line between fact and fiction, uncovering the inherent artifice and truths in images, the significance of authorship, and the power of suspended disbelief.Soejima elaborated her latest project during her Light Work residency last year. The Passenger’s Present combines photographs made in Japan, in 2013 and 2014, with constructed still life images. Together, they allude to narratives, histories, and myths beneath the surface of Japanese society. They include images of a Kamikaze plane, a nuclear reactor, city street scenes, and reappearing rainbows. Soejima composed the still lifes in the studio with carefully folded paper abstractions. Some include small red spheres, which add weight amongst the light paper compositions, especially if one recognizes them as Atomic FireBalls, the American hard candy named after the atomic bomb.For a viewer, it’s a not a simple or even singular story. Soejima invites us along as she finds significant moments in the movement of contemporary life and within the stillness of the paper compositions. “I think my core interest lies in how narrative context can shape our way of seeing the world and affect how we act,” says Soejima. We must listen closely to her photographs. As a third component, Soejima integrates images from her grandfather’s photo albums, made while he served in Japanese-occupied Manchuria from 1931-1945. She quotes his solemn declaration: “There is nothing to believe anymore.” This project’s underlying tension is war’s immeasurable devastation. Soejima’s images carry a feeling of hopelessness too. Even the recurring rainbows are somehow disconcerting. Soejima’s pictures probe deep into everyday moments where careful looking uncovers both beauty and a very real sadness.lg.ht/MikiSoejima—Miki Soejima is a London-based Japanese artist. Soejima’s Mrs. Merryman’s Collection (MACK, 2012) was the recipient of the First Book Award, and is regarded as one of the top photobooks of 2012. Recent exhibitions include The Atkinson Gallery, Southport UK; PhotoIreland Festival, Dublin; Arts Santa Mònica, Barcelona; Michael Hoppen Gallery, London; and World Photography Festival and Sony World Photography Awards, Somerset House, London. Soejima’s work is in the collections of the National Media Museum, Amana Photo Collection, and the Jeremy Cooper Collection. Soejima’s book is included in The Photobook: A History Volume III by Martin Parr and Gerry Badger.

The man who the Daily Telegraph declared to be, “arguably Britain’s greatest living photographer” had a suburban childhood in the provincial county of Surrey, England, where his budding interest in the medium of photography was encouraged by his grandfather George Parr, himself a keen amateur photographer. Martin went on to study photography at Manchester Polytechnic in the early 70s and since that time has worked on many, many photographic projects, publishing over 100 books of his own work and editing another 30. He has developed an international reputation for his innovative imagery, his oblique approach to social documentary, and his input to photographic culture within the UK and abroad. In 1994 Martin became a full member of Magnum Photos, scraping in by a single vote, in the face of strong opposition to his inclusion from some of the old guard, including Philip Jones Griffiths and Henri Cartier Bresson himself. He has since become an important and influential Magnum Member where he served as President between 2013 and 2017. Martin has also developed an interest in filmmaking, and has started to use his photography within different genres, such as fashion and advertising. In 2002 the Barbican Art Gallery and the National Media Museum initiated a large retrospective of Martin’s work and this exhibition toured Europe for the next 5 years. Martin was Professor of Photography at The University of Wales Newport campus from 2004 to 2012 and Guest Artistic Director for the Arles photo festival in 2004. In 2006 he was awarded the Erich Salomon Prize and the resulting Assorted Cocktail show opened at Photokina and in 2008 was guest curator at New York Photo Festival. Parrworld opened at Haus de Kunst, Munich, in 2008. The show exhibited Martin’s own collection of objects, postcards, photography prints by both British and International photographers, photo books and a new project from Parr entitled Luxury. The exhibition toured Europe for the following 2 years. At PhotoEspana in 2008, Martin won the Baume et Mercier Award in recognition of his professional career and contributions to contemporary photography. He is co-author with Gerry Badger of the exhuastive three volume series The Photobook: A History. In March 2016 Strange and Familiar, curated by Parr, opened at the Barbican, London. The show examines how international photographers from 1930s onwards have photographed in the UK. Martin was awarded the Sony World Photography Award for Outstanding Contribution to Photography in April 2017. In Autumn 2017 the Martin Parr Foundation - which is a gallery and archive dedicated to supporting and preserving the photographic legacy of not only Martin himself but also of photographers who made, and continue to make, important work focused on the British Isles - opened in Bristol. Martin is currently working on an exhibition for the National Portrait Gallery which opens in March 2019. In episode 091, Martin discusses, among other things: The Foundation The UK’s attitude towards photography How his suburban childhood influenced his photography Tony Ray Jones Developing his distinctive colour style The Last Resort Being described as ‘an alien’ by Heni Cartier Bresson Passing on 12,000 photobooks to Tate Modern The health and future of Magnum Photos Referenced: Roger Mayne David Hoffman Hans Bellmer Don McCullin Paul Trevor Tony Ray Jones Peter Mitchell Chris Killip Daido Moriyama Simon Roberts Niall McDiarmid Chloe Dewe Matthews Clementine Schneidermann John Myers Sergio Larrain Robert Frank Paul Graham Tom Wood John Hinde Martin: Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter MPF: Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter “I’m pretty happy with the way it’s turned out, to be honest.

Simon Roberts is a British photographer based in Brighton, on the south coast of England, whose work deals with our relationship to landscape and notions of identity and belonging. Often employing expansive, large-format landscape photographs, his approach is one of creating wide-ranging surveys of our time, which communicate on important social, economic and political issues. Simon is perhaps best known for his major long-term project We English, for which he undertook a 9 month road trip around England in a camper van, accompanied by his pregnant wife and 2 year old daughter. The resulting work has been exhibited widely, touring to over thirty national and international venues and was published as a book by Chris Boot and voted by Martin Parr as one of the best photography books of the past decade. He’s had solo shows at the National Media Museum, Bradford, Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, and Multimedia Art Museum Moscow. His photographs reside in major public and private collections, including the George Eastman House, Deutsche Börse Art Collection and Wilson Centre for Photography. In recognition for his work, Roberts has received several awards including the Vic Odden Award - offered for a notable achievement in the art of photography by a British photographer, along with bursaries from the National Media Museum, John Kobal Foundation and grants from Arts Council England. He was commissioned as the official Election Artist by the House of Commons Works of Art Committee to produce a record of the 2010 General Election on behalf of the UK Parliament. In 2012 he was granted access by the International Olympic Committee to photograph the London Olympics and most recently was made an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, UK (2013). As well as We English has published two other critically acclaimed monographs, Motherland (Chris Boot, 2007) and Pierdom (Dewi Lewis Publishing, 2013).

Edmund Clark is an award-winning artist interested in linking history, politics and representation. His work traces ideas of shared humanity, otherness and unseen experience through landscape, architecture and the documents, possessions and environments of subjects of political tension.

His other book, The Mountains of Majeed, reflects on the end of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, the longest war in American history. Edmund’s work has been acquired for national and international collections including, in Britain, The National Portrait Gallery, The National Media Museum and The Imperial War Museum, London where he is currently preparing for the opening of a major, year-long exhibition, which he talks briefly about in the interview. Awards include the Royal Photographic Society Hood Medal for outstanding photography for public service, being shortlisted for the prestigious Prix Pictet on the theme of Power and being twice nominated for the Deutsche Borse Prize. He teaches postgraduate students at the University of the Arts London, contributes regularly to international conferences and symposia, and is actively engaged with education through lectures, talks, workshops and portfolio reviews.

After we record Destination, we chat to the improvisers that made the episode with us. It's not a chat about improvisation, but about real life stories, journeys and opinions that making the show inspired or reminded us of.

Request for memorabilia to include in major autumn exhibition at the National Media Museum in Bradford Fans of Doctor Who are being asked to share stories and memorabilia to contribute to a major exhibition at the National Media Museum in Bradford, celebrating the 50th anniversary of one of Britain's most popular television programmes. The exhibition Fifty Years of Doctor Who Fans (National Media Museum, 12 November 2013 until 2 March 2014) will explore people's devotion to Doctor Who – what the programme means to the fans, what makes a fan, and how they demonstrate their affection. To help answer these questions the Museum is appealing to owners of Doctor Who collectibles and souvenirs, and people who have interesting stories relating to the programme, to get in touch by email at. Exhibition curator Toni Booth said “Do you have a Doctor Who chess set? Ever knitted your own Dalek? Have you still got that Cyberman helmet in the attic? If so, these are exactly the kind of objects that might go towards creating this new exhibition. "We would like to use examples of Doctor Who memorabilia from the past fifty years – both official merchandise and more personal homemade objects - the kind of things which show a fan's love for the Doctor. We want to know why you have this object, when you got it, and your feelings towards Doctor Who then and now." She added: "We would really appreciate as many fans as possible getting in touch to help shape this exhibition, which will be highlighting the people who watch the show." Organisers are collecting offers of contributions until the 9 August, before making a selection for the exhibition. Anyone who would like to offer contributions or suggestions can provide details of their memorabilia to  by 9 August. The Museum asks that no objects are sent now as their inclusion in the exhibition, or their return, cannot be guaranteed at this stage. Further details can be found at  Fifty Years of Doctor Who Fans runs at the National Media Museum from 12 November 2013 to 2 March 2014.
