Subject: APIS 98 Exhibition and One Day Symposium on 5 July.
Date: Friday, June 26, 1998 2:13 PM
One of the most exciting exhibitions of work by fine photographers and
printers using 'art' methods of printing is on show at the Royal
Photographic Society in Bath until 12 July.The exhibition is called ' A
celebration of Alternative Processes'.
There are platinum, gum, gravure, carbon and bromoil prints by Alvin
Langdon Coburn, Frederick Evans, Clarence White, Fred Judge and others from
the late nineteenth century and the early years of this century. These
prints are contrasted with some of the finest work from contemporary
photographers and printers using similar methods. For example an original
Frederick Evans platinum print of 'The Sea of Steps' at Wells is
contrasted with a modern platinum print from the same negative by Paul
Cafell and a modern photograph processed in Photoshop and printed on
watercolour paper using an Epson ink jet printer.
Hamiltons have contributed platinum prints by Malcolm Pasley and Kenro Izu
and a dye transfer print by Huger Foote. Paul Cafell exhibits a a John
Swannell platinum of David Bailey. There are Hugh stoneman gravure prints
of work by Hamish Fulton and David Hiscock and an Adam Lowe colour pigment
transfer 'carbon' print of a phorograph by Madame Yvonde. There is an
immense, 7'9" by 5'3", cyanotype print by Grahm Ford; colour Fressons by
Robert Dowling and gum prints produced with Terry King. There are fine
examples of Dunstan Pereira's Heliochrome process demonstrating the high
technical standard to which he has brought his process. There are also
platinum, gravure and Iris prints from Metro Art and collages and Polaroid
transfers from The Special Photographers Company. There are a lot of
prints giving a lot of information . The exhibition has immense richness.
There will be a private view on 5 July when there will be an opportunity to
'network', show prints and take part in discussions in the lecture theatre.
There will be presentations on bromoil printing, the use of the computer in
the production of the fine print, and the use of liquid silver gelatine
emulsions. This special view will start at 9.30 and go on to 5.30. The
price will be £10. If you intend to come could you please let Terry King
