As if Group B hadn't already had a week off, I decided to book up a day of photography and the entrance to two brand new exhibitions.
London futures - at the museum of London, is a new contemporary installation of manipulated photos of iconic postcard shots showing the potential impact of global warning. The team were taken back by some of the outcomes and it really got them to think about the potential devastation we could cause. The exhibition was put together really well, with each photo being around A1 in size and having a light box fitted to all to really show off every bit of detail.
After that we took a train the to the end of the Victoria line where I took them to see Adam Pattersons Gang life exhibition at Brixtons Photo fusion. This exhibition was small and personal and in fact terribly emotional, in a two part series the overall picture is that back in 2008 Robert Patterson who works as a photographer photographed Jean Claude Dagron who was in a gang around the surrounding area of London. After 2 years of keeping in contact Robert Patterson re-visited Jean Claude Dagron where he had left london with his new family, left the gang and had started a new life in peace. the exhibtion was put together with personal touches as Jean Claude Dagron himself and revisted Photo Fusion and hand annotated all of the images. A remarkable day out and one hopfully Group B won't forget in a rush.
