"PhotoRenga" ending, Maindee Triangle project and new exhibition

Morning everyone,


We have a few updates for you this week. First of all, "PhotoRenga" closed on Tuesday, so we'd like to thank David and Kate for running the workshop which led to the exhibition, Bill, Rosie, Jason, Kate and Paddy for their participation and everyone who came to visit in the last couple of weeks. Here are a few more photos from the exhibition - we will post images of the complete renga that were on display later on.







Second, for those of you who haven't made it to Maindee yet, Dafydd will be there for two more days taking ultra-large portraits on colour photographic paper with a camera built into the door of the former public toilet building on Chepstow Road (as odd as it sounds!). Due to the unpredictability of the process and the temperatures dropping, these are not perfect photographs, but if you're after a unique (and nearly life-size) image of yourself, look no more. You can also see the developing process, which is very interesting! The portraits are free and everyone will be able to take them home on Tuesday evening after a three-day exhibition at the nearby Holbrook Studio - there's more info about the times on Maindee Library's facebook event page.











Last but not least, our new show in 76m2 is opening on Tuesday the 7th of November at 2. We'll have more information about it soon, but for now we can say it'll be called "1871" after the year when the dry plate (or gelatin) process was invented, and will feature portraits of our gallery visitors, and also some surprises..

That's it for now, we'll be back with more updates soon!
