A must see is Aware: Art Fashion Identity | 2 December 2010 – 30 January 2011

Showing at the Royal Academy until the end of January this exhibition examines how artists and designers use clothing as a mechanism to communicate and reveal elements of our identity.

we are looking at Jamie Morgan's Film/Motion....

Jamie Morgan began his career as a photographer. After a short-lived pop career in the 80s as Jamie J Morgan, he became the founder of London's creative collective Buffalo, a group who changed the nature of image-making through its pioneering work in The Face magazine for which he shot more covers than any other photographer. He also shot album covers for music stars such as Culture Club, Soul II Soul, Neneh Cherry (for whom he co-wrote Buffalo Stance) and many more. He also created campaigns for the likes of Levis and Comme de Garcons.Buffalo had a major retrospective exhibition at the V&A Museum in London to coincide with the release of the Buffalo Book.

Jamie progressed to music video direction working with Bush on their US number one hit 'Swallowed'. Since then he has shot many chart topping videos for groups such as Sugababes and Richard Ashcroft. He has recently completed a series of six fashion / art films for Givenchy designer Ozwald Boateng. These beautiful, emotive films are to feature as part of a major documentary for Sundance Channel on the designer.

He has also shot several short films, including a powerful portrait study of young Thai boxers.2007 has seen the culmination of Jamie's talent as a director with his debut feature film 'The Workshop', a provocative and personal documentary/drama, exploring sexuality and the human need for self-discovery. 

Museum of Everything | Sir Peter Blake | Exhibition #3

onesix7 loves the Museum of Everything, on a recent visit to see Peter Blake's  Exhibition #3 we were faced with a statement of cultural insider-ness - the entire display having been co-curated by, and predominantly drawn from the personal collection of, Sir Peter Blake.

Exhibition #3 reveals his incredible discoveries for the very first time, as the museum’s Primrose Hill space becomes a canvas for the largest most ambitious art installation ever created by this non-stop septuagenarian. 

Take a sneak peak and be sure to visit this extended show...

We love Tim Barber shot by Asger Carlsen for Vice Magazine

This image of Tim Barber photographer and founder of online gallery tinyvices is by Asger Carlsen and features in the current issue of Vice Magazine. Words by Asger Carlsen. See more of his work here. 

Tim Barber of Tiny Vices is someone who has helped me countless times over the years by featuring my work or showing it in exhibitions. He has done so much for the photographic community so it’s an honour to be appreciated by him. Tim also wrote the foreword for my book, Wrong, with Mörel Books. So this portrait is in homage to that series.
