2011 Exhibition Season: The Archive

THE STREET

Domestic Glamour is a celebration of women through the exploration of everyday beauty rituals.

The Street by Andrew Jackson & Dean Kelland Fri 8 Apr - Fri 17 Jun

In 2011 Light House Gallery will be showing work featuring archive photography. The upcoming exhibitions will see rare, archive photographs from the V&A on display in the gallery. There will also be a chance to see new work being made specifically to go into future archives by renowned British documentary photographer Martin Parr. We are starting the season with a new exhibition which will encourage us to question what we find in the archive.

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. Jackson & Kelland will be giving a talk about the exhibition in June, date tbc.

Light House Student Photography Awards

Len Spragg’s Caravan

Fri 1 - Sat 30 April The Student Photography Awards have now become an annual event at Light House. The 2011 exhibition features shortlisted work in 3 categories, a winner from each will be selected and announced at the Awards Ceremony on Fri 1 April. Documentary nominees: James Marsh, John Hancock, Peter Watkins. Fine Art: Natalie Galloway, Alice Jones, Kirsty Skears. Commercial: Lucasz Gadjek, James Martin, James Osborne. Visit www.light-house.co.uk for more info on each photographer.

Fri 8 Apr – Fri 17 Jun 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.

LEN SPRAGG’S CARAVAN

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.

Cert 12A, 1hr43 Dir. Mark Romanek, USA, 2010 As children, Ruth, Kathy and Tommy, spend their childhood at a seemingly idyllic English boarding school. As they grow into young adults, they find that they have to come to terms with the strength of the love they feel for each other, while preparing themselves for the haunting reality that awaits them. Based on Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2005 acclaimed novel of the same name, and starring Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley, and Andrew Garfield.

RABBIT HOLE

Fourteen-year-old Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) joins an aging U.S. marshal (Jeff Bridges) and another lawman (Matt Damon) in tracking her father’s killer Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin), into hostile Indian territory in Joel and Ethan Coen’s adaptation of Charles Portis’ original novel. Sticking more closely to the source material than the 1969 feature adaptation starring Western icon John Wayne, the Coens’ True Grit tells the story from the young girl’s perspective.

NEVER LET ME GO

TRUE GRIT

Based on the 1938 British noir classic by Graham Greene, Rowan Joffe’s Brighton Rock is set in the mods and rockers era of the 1960s. It charts the headlong fall of Pinkie, a razor-wielding disadvantaged teenager hell bent on clawing his way up through the ranks of organised crime. At the heart of the story is Pinkie’s relationship with Rose, an apparently innocent young waitress who stumbles on evidence linking Pinkie to a revenge killing.

Cert 12A, 1hr31

Cert 12A, 1hr49 Dir. Charles Ferguson, USA, 2010

Based on Mordecai Richler’s award winning novel, Barney’s Version is a warm and witty story of the politically incorrect life of Barney Panofsky (Paul Giamatti), who meets the love of his life (Rosamund Pike) at his wedding - and she is not the bride. A candid confessional, told from Barney‘s point of view, the film spans three decades and two continents, taking us through the different acts of his unusual history. Also starring Minnie Driver and Dustin Hoffman.

Dir. John Cameron Mitchell, USA, 2010 Rabbit Hole tells the story of Becca and Howie Corbett, a married couple struggling to return to their everyday existence several months after the loss of their child. The couple embark on separate journeys, making unexpected choices that threaten to pull them apart. With their world tilted off of its axis, the couple must decide whether to allow their increasingly fractured personal journeys to bring them back together. Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning play by David Lindsay Abaire, starring Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart.

Inside Job provides a comprehensive analysis of the global financial crisis of 2008, which at a cost of over $20 trillion, caused millions of people to lose their jobs and homes in the worst recession since the Great Depression, and nearly resulted in a global financial collapse. Through exhaustive research and extensive interviews with key financial insiders, politicians, journalists, and academics, the film traces the rise of a rogue industry which has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia.

Starring Guy Pearce (Memento), Animal Kingdom is a stunning modern crime thriller of brooding and brutal intensity. Following the death of his mother, the young ‘J’ Cody goes to live with his estranged gangster relatives. With conflict escalating between his family, J finds himself at the centre of a cold-blooded vengeance plot. As he naively navigates his way through the criminal underworld, he is forced to question where his loyalties lie and who he can trust.

A drama centred on three people who are haunted by mortality in different ways. George (Matt Damon) is a blue-collar American who has a special connection to the afterlife. On the other side of the world, Marie, a French journalist, has a near-death experience that shakes her reality. And when Marcus, a London schoolboy, loses the person closest to him, he desperately needs answers. Each on a path in search of the truth, their lives will intersect; forever changed by what they believe might exist in the hereafter.

BIUTIFUL

From Alejandro González Iñárritu (21 Grams) comes Biutiful, an exploration of one man’s spiritual journey. Uxbal (Javier Barde), a conflicted man who struggles to reconcile mortality amidst the dangerous underworld of modern Barcelona.

Dicky Ecklund (Christian Bale) is a former boxing hero that squandered his talents and threw away his shot at greatness. Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg), his half brother, is the struggling journeyman boxer who spent his life living in his big brother’s shadow. The Fighter is inspired by the true story of two brothers who, against all the odds, come together to train for a historic title bout that will unite their fractured family, redeem their pasts and, at last, give their hard-luck town what it’s been waiting for: pride.

Based on the true story of Queen Elizabeth II’s father and his remarkable friendship with maverick speech therapist Lionel Logue, The King’s Speech stars Academy Award nominee Colin Firth as King George VI, who is unexpectedly thrust into the international spotlight when his brother Edward abdicates. Academy Award Winner Geoffrey Rush stars as Logue, the man who helps him find a voice with which to lead the nation.

What happens next is all-out psychological warfare waged against her students in an attempt to force them into confessing their guilt.

French with English subtitles 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 emotions to the surface and underlying tensions are gradually revealed through raw scenes of bitter sibling rivalry and marital disharmony.

OF GODS AND MEN

Eight French Christian monks live in harmony with their Muslim brothers in a monastery in the mountains of North Africa. When a crew of foreign workers is massacred by an Islamic fundamentalist group, fear sweeps though the region. The army offers them protection, but the monks refuse. Should they leave? Despite the growing menace in their midst, they slowly realise that they have no choice but to stay. This film is loosely based on the life of the Cistercian monks in Algeria.

On hearing news that prisoners of war have been found in the South, 12 year-old Ahmed’s grandmother is determined to discover the fate of her son, Ahmed’s father, who never returned from the Gulf War. From the mountains of Kurdistan to the sands of Babylon, they hitch rides from strangers and cross paths with fellow pilgrims. Struggling to understand the search, Ahmed follows in the footsteps of a father he never knew.

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.

Waste Land follows renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his home in Brooklyn 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 photographic images of 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.
