Event: Exhibition Ice & Teeth: a Dialogue on Process | 8 -14 November 2024 – Private View: 7 November 6-7.30pm – Dorset Place Gallery

Private View of “Ice&Teeth: a Dialogue on Process” showcasing work in progress by two PhD students researching photography. We will host a small opening party at 6pm on 7th of November in Dorset Place Gallery, University of Brighton. Everyone is welcome. What happens when the subject matter becomes the very ingredient in the photographic process? Ice & Teeth seeks to explore exactly that. Combining work on two seemingly different topics – holga & pinhole camera images of the Arctic by Charles Binns and Ola Teper’s photograms of a woman’s body – the process here pushes the boundaries of traditional representation. The Arctic saltwater and red lipstick become active elements in the conversation about landscape photography in an era of climate change and the enduring struggle for gender equality, which continue to shape the world of today. Together, their work opens a dialogue on how process, materiality and subject matter intersect […]

Event: Theodore Koulouris -The Mangina does Critical Theory, in short a ball busting (sic) Communist lecture followed by Q&A | 19 November 2024 11am at Mithras House, G8

In response to International Men’s Day, Theodore Koulouris will be delivering a lecture followed by Q&A. He has described the event as follows: The rather eccentric title is taken from a tweet directed at me by a far-right X (formerly Twitter) account following a public engagement/debate I had on ‘lad culture’ with the all-round bad boy of the extreme right, Milo Yiannopoulos. The specific tweet and countless others I received in the wake of said debate bespeak the elemental tendency of contemporary far-right masculinity: to attack a ‘fellow man’ one has to first feminise him (for those not familiar with the term, a mangina is a man who has, apparently, a vagina). However, it also reveals that the language of such attacks is not devoid of political inflection and that it is redolent of deeply fossilised expectations of ‘masculinity’. In this presentation, I reflect on the socio-political valences of my experience – as a […]
