Light House’s exhibition season The Archive has begun with new exhibiton The Street featuring a special talk by Pete James, Head of Photographs at Birmingham Library in June.

The season will continue with Black Country Stories by Martin Parr from Fri 1 Jul - Fri 30 Sept with a talk from Parr on Wed 27 Jul. Followed by Selling Dreams: A Hundred Years of Fashion Photography from Fri 14 Oct - Fri 13 Jan. Visit www.light-house.co.uk for more info.

The Street by Andrew Jackson & Dean Kelland

Taking archive interviews, film and photographs, Jackson & Kelland use the racial tensions of 1960s Smethwick as a starting point to explore both historical and contemporary debates on immigration in Britain. Presenting stories, memories and photographs from two culturally different perspectives, the audience is invited to question what may or may not be real in this new exhibition. Things that we know to be true are constantly replaced through acts of revisionism. With this in mind the artists invite the audience to investigate the combination of current and archive information that they have presented.

By interpreting what they have found in the archives, combining fact and fiction throughout, Jackson and Kelland encourage the audience to question what they see, hear and understand in the exhibition. This exhibition plays on our faith in archives, photographs, history and documentary and asks people to come to their own conclusions.

That an exhibition which subverts the whole notion of documentary photography has been set in a gallery which shows factual exhibitions takes the challenge to the audience one step further.

This is the first time the two artists have worked together and is the first showing of this exhibition. Andrew Jackson is a documentarian and graduate of the MA Documentary programme at the European Centre of Photography, Newport. Dean Kelland is a contemporary artist currently undertaking a PhD in Fine Art practice at Central St Martins. Both artists have exhibited extensively around the UK.

Exhibition Talk: The Street

Pete James, Head of Photographs at Birmingham Library will be talking to Dean Kelland and Andrew Jackson about their exhibition The Street, and discussing the role of archives.

Bhopal 25 by Pardeep Kairo

Bhopal 25: Examining life after the Bhopal industrial disaster of 1984

Just after midnight, on the night of 2 December 1984, a catastrophic gas leak from a Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India saw the beginning of the world’s worst industrial disaster. It has come to be known as the Hiroshima of the chemical industry. Thousands of people died immediately and, since that day, tens of thousands more people have died as a result of their exposure to the toxic gas, with a further 120,000 developing chronic medical conditions that require constant healthcare. This exhibition explores life 25 years after the tragedy, and the various organisations working in Bhopal to aid those suffering from gas exposure and water contamination. With his exhibition Pardeep aims to portray the positive and remarkable work carried out by such organisations, as well as looking at case studies to convey the damaging consequences of the Bhopal disaster. In doing so, he hopes to raise awareness of the Bhopal gas tragedy and the Bhopal Medical Appeal.

Len Spragg’s Caravan

Photographs by Hubert Wallace Redfern. Curated by Mairi Turner and Catherine Fuller.

This is an exhibition with a curious back story. The photographs were taken by Hubert Wallace Redfern, an avid amateur photographer who managed to amass a collection of over 2000 slides during his lifetime.

The collection was passed on to the curators, who transformed it from a family archive to the status of ‘found photography’. With no personal connection to the photographs, the curators were able to assess them with a fresh, unmediated eye. The concept of found photography is one that is gaining increased recognition in the time of digital photography, perhaps because the idea of a photograph as an object to be collected seems to have passed.

As well as documenting interpersonal relations in an extended family, the photographs unwittingly document entire eras of interior design, fashion, leisure and consumer aspirations. The period details of the photographs provide a glimpse into an unfamiliar time, but the basic arenas in which they were taken remain the same as the majority of today’s digital photography: home, the workplace and leisure.

Our new Photography workshops will be taught by David Rann who teaches photography at Birmingham Botanical Gardens, mac, and Stratford-upon-Avon College (NCFE Level 2). David has exhibited his own photography and he also runs the Fotofilia studio and gallery.

WEST IS WEST

Manchester, 1975. The now much diminished, but still dysfunctional Khan family continues to struggle for survival. Sajid, the youngest Khan, is deep in pubescent crisis under assault both from his father’s tyrannical insistence on Pakistani tradition and fierce bullies in the schoolyard. In a desperate attempt to ‘sort him out’, his father packs him off to Mrs Khan No1 and family in the Punjab, the wife and daughters he had abandoned 35 years earlier. It is not long before Mrs Khan No2 with a small entourage from Salford, swiftly follows to sort out the mess.

SOURCE CODE

When decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) wakes up in the body of an unknown man, he discovers he’s part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. He learns he’s part of the government experiment Source Code, a program that enables him to cross over into another man’s identity in the last 8 minutes of his life. Colter re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack.

LIVING IN EMERGENCY

In the war-zones of Liberia and Congo, four volunteers with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) struggle to provide emergency medical care under extreme conditions. With different levels of experience, each volunteer must find their own way to face the challenges, the tough choices, and the limits of their idealism. Living in Emergency is a window into the seldom portrayed and less-than glamorous side of humanitarian aid work. Followed by a Q&A with volunteers from MSF.

ARCHIPELAGO

Edward arrives on a remote island off the English coast, to join his mother and sister who have organised a family holiday. But Edward’s father repeatedly fails to join the gathering, instead communicating with his wife and children via a series of increasingly strained phonecalls. His absence serves to bring the family’s buried anger and repressed emotionsto the surface and underlying tensions are gradually revealed through raw scenes of bitter sibling rivalry and marital disharmony.

WASTE LAND

Waste Land follows renowned artistVik Muniz as he journeys to his native Brazil and the world’s largest rubbish dump, Jardim Gramacho. There he films an eclectic band of ‘catadores’, self-designated pickers of recyclable materials. Muniz’s collaboration with these inspiring characters, as they recreate imagesof themselves out of garbage, reveals both dignity and despair as the catadores re-imagine their lives. Waste Land offers stirring evidence of the transformative power of art and the alchemy of the human spirit.

YOU WILL MEET A TALL DARK STRANGER
