Wandering Comma exhibition

One of New York's most celebrated and hyped photographer these days, Ryan McGinley is showing his newest work at the Alison Jacques Gallery in London until the end of this year. For his solo show Wandering Comma, McGinley has assembled seven new photographs in the largest format the artist has yet worked in. Even if you weren't the biggest McGinley fan from the beginning on, it's safe to say that his work and aesthetic has evolved over the last years from a snapshot style to one that is planned, cinematic, timeless and even epic sometime. So if you find a bit of time in your pre-christmas schedule, get down and have a look into these dreamed worlds.

24 November – 22 December 2011 at Alison Jaques Gallery
10 – 6 pm, Tuesday to Saturday

Robin Friend | Slaughterhouse

In his series Slaughterhouse, Robin Friend slowly exposes the intensely coloured minerals of an abandoned Welsh mine. Even as it returns to an atavistic state, the people who carved out their livelihoods and the alien topography are still a palpable presence for the photographer. Just released is ARAF, a film made by Andrew Telling and Owen Richards who followed Friend into the Victorian mines, reverently capturing the light and the quiet atmosphere and the distinctive process Friend used to create these extraordinary images.

20 Years of Dazed & Confused Magazine exhibition

The first issue of Dazed and Confused was a fold out poster, put together in one night by Jefferson Hack and Rankin, proclaiming "This isn't a magazine". 20 years later Somerset House hosts the 20 Years of Dazed and Confused exhibition to mark the anniversary of a magazine, renowned for its style, culture and creativity.
