We are due for a little break – some would even call this a holiday – however, quite a lot of our time will be concerned with photographic exhibitions over the next two or three weeks.<\/p>\n

Here’s the run down:<\/p>\n

Firstly there’s Visa pour l’Image<\/strong> in Perpignan<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is a regular trip for us – practically the entire city is devoted to this event, and it’s really worth a visit. All the exhibitions are free (Yes, unlike at Arles, you don’t pay.<\/em>..) and of very high quality. Sadly due to the fact that this is devoted to journalism, there is a lot of repetition – but in some ways this is very creative as it shows different points of view on the same subject.<\/p>\n

Then there’s Arles<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I’m still in two minds about this event as I don’t consider the admission fees particularly ‘friendly’, and also the choice of a lot of the ‘avant garde’ work seems a bit of a piss-take – I remember visiting the exhibition of the work presented for the final diploma at photography school – and came away wondering where photography is going…<\/p>\n

This said, I’m ready to accept that I have a very particular taste, and fully prepared to keep my mind as open as possible – instead of buying a ticket for all the exhibitions, this year we’ll choose a few at random – Annie Leibowitz has an expo there and I’m looking forward to at least that one!<\/p>\n

Last but not least, there’s the current exhibition at the Pavillion Populaire<\/strong> in Montpellier. This finishes on the 17th of September, so we’d better get there quickly…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m not really familiar with the work of this photographer, but the little I’ve seen leads me to think it would be worth a visit…and as we’ll be in the general area for our ‘holiday’, why not!<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>: This exhibition will be followed by Ralph Gibson<\/strong> \u00ab\u00a0The Black Trilogy 1970-74\u00a0\u00bb from the 18.10.17 – 08.01.18 another ‘must visit’ on my list…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
