IAN WALKER: Punctum in the Potteries
WEDNESDAY, 8 OCTOBER, commencing at 3.15pm
Hatton Gallery at Churchill House

" This talk concentrates on one photograph - an nondescript image of an ordinary street in the English Midlands. Yet since I first saw it nearly thirty years ago, it has fascinated me. In trying to discover why that should be, I want to move through a range of different ways to think about this (and by implication any) photograph, placing it in a number of different contexts - historical, theoretical and autobiographical."

Ian Walker is Senior Lecturer in the History and Theory of Photography at the University of Wales College, Newport, and author of City Gorged with Dreams: Surrealism and Documentary Photography in Interwar Paris, published by Manchester University Press, 2002.

PAUL SEAWRIGHT
WEDNESDAY 5 NOVEMBER, 3.15pm

Paul Seawright is a photographer, who is also Professor and Director of the Centre for Photographic Research, University College, Newport, Wales. In 2002 the Imperial War Museum commissioned him to go to Afghanistan and investigate landscapes contaminated with unexploded ordenance and mines. His work is less concerned with the visible scars of war than with the hidden malevolence of its landscapes. His interests are with photography’s ability to move between art and documentary. His Welsh images - part of an exhibition that represented Wales during the 2003 Venice Biennale - relate less to the tradition of photo-documentary investigation than to the history of the romantic sublime. Yet unlike traditional approaches to the romantic sublime, the viewer is not being invited to contemplate in these images the awesome and unadulterated wonders of nature, quite the contrary. His photographs are all about the adulteration of nature.

The lectures will take place at the Hatton Gallery, Churchill House, Venn’s Lane, Hereford, HR1 1BE. Tickets for members of the public: £ 3 (free to HCAD staff and students). For bookings please contact Gemma Bagley on 01432 845312, e-mail: g.bagley@hereford-art-col.ac.uk.
Limited parking is available; please report to reception to avoid your car being clamped.
