"How We Are: Photographing Britain
22 May – 2 September 2007

This is the first major exhibition of photography ever to be held at Tate Britain. It takes a unique look at the journey of British photography, from the pioneers of the early medium to today’s photographers who use new technology to make and display their imagery.

The images in this exhibition have come from the length and breadth of the UK, and include well-known oeuvres alongside mesmerising lost masterpieces. As well as famous names – William Henry Fox Talbot, Lewis Carroll, Julia Margaret Cameron, Bill Brandt, Madame Yevonde, Susan Lipper, David Bailey and Tom Hunter among them – the exhibition includes postcards, family albums, medical photographs, propaganda and social documents. It includes work by many women photographers and photographers from different cultural backgrounds who are usually underplayed in the history of British photography.

Ultimately, this is a treasure trove for any one who loves photography, and presents the extraordinary variety, breadth and idiosyncratic nature of one-and-a-half centuries of image making."

Thanks so much for posting that- looks fantastic. Am doing dull temping job but only perk is I'm a stone's throw from Tate Britain so can spend lunch hour gawping at wonderful art. Can't wait for this one. Cheers!
 
Stumbled across this on the Tate site as well - a video by Linder Sterling...

"The Working Class Goes To Paradise was the performative strand of The Return of Linderland - a body of work that includes photography, film, print and artefact - some of which was exhibited at Cornerhouse, Manchester in 2000. Comprising three rock bands playing simultaneously for four hours, and a group of women re-enacting the gestures of nineteenth century Shaker worship, the piece explored ecstatic states, outsiderdom and religious non-conformism. Linder assumed various identities: as a figure from one of her own early photomontages; as Ann Lee, the founder of the Shakers; and lastly as a super-heroic fusion of Lee and Clint Eastwood, becoming the' Woman with No Name.'"

Sounds a bit shit and pretentious to me, but there you go.
 
This from today's Guardian. Quick quiz question for Moz virgins - this is a Roger Mayne photograph - which other Moz single also had a Mayne photograph as the cover?

Sorry, Peter. :o

I have another quiz for the newer fans.

There are only four solo singles which do not have Morrissey on the sleeve.
Two of them are above mentioned Roger Mayne covers, name other two singles. :)
