The non-HDCC exhibitions and other events listed below may be of interest to members; new additions to the list are highlighted with a red bar. Some London exhibitions are quite small (perhaps 20 prints, or less) despite being interesting and/or significant, and may best be combined with others (or a shopping trip!) – especially where galleries, such as the NPG and Photographers' Gallery, are conveniently close. Check the exhibition's website for more information.
If members visit a good exhibition within reasonable reach of Hertford, which is not listed here, please send details to John Sandell so that it can be added. Other local clubs are invited to submit details of special events (not their regular programme) to the webmaster for listing (at the webmaster's discretion!).

Over 350 striking works in this stylish exhibition..." / The Telegraph said: "Although there are some rare and arresting images on view... the exhibition is much too big, far too ambitious, and without focus or structure." But added: "Maddening and incoherent though it is, this show has its moments of fitful brilliance and some photos on view you won't see again." The Times said: "There is startling work in Tate Modern’s Street & Studio show, but our critic doesn’t buy its urban myths." Me, I enjoyed it, and felt it well worth the visit [JS] / more » |
