Kenneth Anger,
'Invocation of My Demon Brother', 1969 (film still)
Courtesy the artist and
Sprueth Magers Berlin London
Sprüth Magers London is delighted to present an
exhibition of work by the legendary filmmaker and artist Kenneth Anger in his first
solo show in London for five years. Making films continuously since the late
1940s and considered a countercultural icon, Kenneth Anger is widely acclaimed
as a pioneering and influential force in avant-garde cinema. His groundbreaking
body of work has inspired cineastes, filmmakers and artists alike. Many
channels of contemporary visual culture, from queer iconography to MTV,
similarly owe a debt to his art.
As part of its continued hosting of
the Deutsche Borse Photography Prize Deutsche Börse
Photography Prize the Photographer's Gallery in London will be
holding a series of conversations with the shortlisted photographers in March: Anna Fox, Zoe Leonard, Sophie Donovan Wylie Ristelhueber and Donovan Wylie. The exhibition begins at the Photographers Gallery on 12th February
2010.

It
took me hours to find somebody
who could open up the lobby
of the old "Stout's" hotel on Main Street in Gila Bend.
It had been closed for years already.
That painting over the Coke machine haunts me ever since.
It's the dream version
of the perfect beginning
of a road movie.

Major exhibition Identity: Eight Rooms, Nine Lives
The Wellcome Collection

Weirdest family photograph ever?
Roy DeCarava, the Harlem-born photographer known for more than half a century's worth of revealing social documentary photography, has died at age 89. Obituary
DeCarava was an advocate for young African-American photographers and fought for a more serious portrayal of blacks in art, as opposed to caricatures and stereotypes.
I will remember him most for his amazing and highly recommended book "The Sweet Flypaper of Life", produced in 1955 in collaboration with writer/poet Langston Hughes:
The Photographer's Gallery has announced the artists shortlisted for it's 2010 Deutsche Börse photography prize.
