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 […]

Event: Exhibition – Pavlov & the Kingdom of Dogs: A Secret History | Until 1 June 2024 at 35 North Gallery, Brighton, BN1 1YB.

The exhibition is the outcome of an arts-based research project, collaboratively produced by Matt Adams, Principal Lecturer in Psychology, School of Humanities and Social Science and Jim Wilson, a designer and maker in the School of Art and Media, University of Brighton, with additional support from various technical specialists in SAM. Featuring a series of dioramas, combined with images, text and audio features, the exhibition reimagines an aspect of the life and work of Russian psychophysiologist Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936). Remembered today for revolutionising psychology, here Pavlov’s dogs, once anonymous experimental subjects, take centre stage in a darkly playful twist on accepted androcentric and anthropocentric narratives, shattering preconceptions about Pavlov’s methods, supposedly docile experimental animals, and the universal laws of science. Tapping into our enduring fascination for miniature worlds, the three-dimensional scale models incorporate dogs, humans, lab equipment, surgical appendages, experimental procedures, parkland, architecture, interior design and medical technology. Highlights include the sinister goings on in the Towers of Silence, an antivivisection […]

Event: “In Edition” – Fine Art Printmaking exhibition is on the top floor landing of Grand Parade

Each student has been tasked with producing an edition of prints in each of the four main printmaking areas, screen, litho, etching and relief. Returning back to each process has allowed the student to develop new skills and insights into their own working practice. This term has been full of challenges, from collaborative printmaking, group activities and small student led exhibitions, they have risen to the challenge and begun to form a discernable identity as an artist. From an intensively taught semester 1 they are now developing real independence of practice which is vitally important as they move into L5. Watching their journey this year has been immensely exciting and we wait eagerly to see what they will do next year. Image credit – created by students.

Vanessa Marr (Domestic Dusters) and Katy Styles (We Care) were awarded the 3rd Sector Care Creative Arts Award in Birmingham on 15 March 2024.

We invite scholars, artists, academics, practitioner-researchers, researcherpractitioners, and other professionals doing research into relationships between memory and images created through the “frightfully speculative eye” (Deleuze, 1990: 243) of the photographic camera to propose papers and panels that explore, but are not […]
