10am-10pm (continues until February 14 2005, Monday, from 10am)
Take a break
from the Chinese celebrations; taking place elsewhere, to enjoy one of
the last days of the annual exhibition of the International Students
House based photographic society. As one would image for ISH, all the
exhibiting photographers are as international as the subjects they have
photographed. At the exhibition’s private view, held last Thursday
evening, we managed to meet and talk to about half a dozen of them… Lily
Crespy – a biologist from Grenoble, France, has a fine b&w close up of
the Millennium Bridge, taken at night. Whilst the angled view of the
bridge is very much in the foreground, the wonderfully-lit St Paul’s
Cathedral can be clearly seen in the distance. Marina Spironetti, an
Italian of distant Cuban descent, is displaying her extensive collection
of photographs of Cuba, shapes and time. When you visit the exhibition,
you will appreciate how all Spironetti’s images fit together. Kathrin
has two landscape scenes from Germany, including one misty scene
showing, what could be, a cow… or is it a cottage? You can decide! Go
along and discover more about all these, and other fine works, which
have been produced by what seems to be an enthusiastic group of
photographers, all who have been helped along by professional
photographer, Sol - their equally hard-working and enthusiastic tutor
from Spain and who we met at the same event, last year.
We even got a few words
with her (about opening times, etc.) after she gave a speech, just after a
speech by Diana Grigorescu’s (who was the first photographer - we were
introduced to, at Thursday’s reception), near the end of the private view. Last,
but not least, we were also introduced to and spoke to photographer, Hiroko
Enseki, from Japan. Hopefully, in the near future, we shall be able to tell you
about another of Hiroko’s exhibitions – as well as exhibitions of the other
photographers. In the meantime, get along to ISH, and see everything for
yourself!
