ALTERNATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY: EXHIBITION AND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM

Following the very successful International Symposium on Alternative
Photography held at Bath last year, there will a further APIS at Bath on
4/5 July* and an associated exhibition with the title
' A Celebration of Alternative Photography'

Further International Symposia and associated exhibitions are scheduled for
1999 in Santa Fe and for 2000 in Cologne.

1. EXHIBITION 'A Celebration of Alternative Photography'

There will be an exhibition in the Long Gallery at the RPS in Bath from 16
June until 12 July 1996.

The purpose of the exhibition will be to demonstrate the finest work in
various alternative processes by modern photographers and printers of the
highest international standards. The objective will be to show what can be
achieved to inspire others to higher standards.

The exhibition will include:

platinum prints from Horst, Izu and Don McCullin .
four colour carbon prints from Gerard Aniere
Ultrastable (Permaprint ) prints by Adam Lowe
diazo sensitised four colour carbon prints by Dunstan Pereira
bromoils by Maija McDougal and Chris Fox
gravures from Hugh Stoneman, Jean-Daniel Lemoines and Pierre
Brochet (To be confirmed )
salt prints from Bill Rowlinson
fine prints from computer printers
Fressons, modern four colour and Echagues
Iris prints
20 x 24 polaroid/platinum prints by Alistair Laidlaw
photoceramics from Galina Manikova
Dye Transfers
Gum prints, cyanotypes and so on by Terry King, and others..

The exhibition will be presented in cooperation with Hamiltons, The Special
Photographers Company and Metro.

There will be a comparison between Frederick Evans' platinum print of 'A
Sea of Steps', a modern version from the same neg and a modern print of
the same subject scanned from a modern negative and printed onto
watercolour paper using a commonly available computer printer.

In comparison with these prints here will be a number of Secession prints,
with the kind cooperation of Pam Roberts, Curator of the RPS Collection,
including work by Clarence White, Frederick Evans, Dudley Johnson, Alvin
Langdon Coburn, Steiglitz and Steichen.

We aim to have a catalogue with papers from last year's APIS, illustrations
from the exhibition and some explanatory and 'how to' notes on the
processes involved.
