Lunchtime Talk | Tom Hunter

Tom Hunter won the John Kobal Photographic Portrait Award in 1998. In 2006 he was the first artist to have a photography show at the National Gallery, London. He has also been awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the Royal Photographic Society in their Annual Awards for 2010.

Tom currently lives and works in London. His work documents the lives of the people of east London, and highlights the issues facing them and their communities. As Hunter says of his subjects, "I really wanted to show that the subjects I was dealing with were as important as the rich and famous people, in the same way as Vermeer."

He has exhibited work both nationally and internationally, in solo and group shows and is also a Senior Research Fellow of the London College of Communication, University of the Arts London.

This is a child/baby friendly event organised in conjunction with artist Martina Mullaney, founder of Enemies of Good Art.

Lunchtime Talk | Melanie Manchot

Melanie Manchot (born 1966) is a London-based artist who explores performative and participatory portraiture.

Working with photography, ﬁlm and video, Melanie Manchot often engineers events or situations in public spaces to produce her engaging explorations into our individual and collective identities.

She will discuss her use of still and moving imagery and in particular will look at the idea of duration in portraiture. Manchot's approach balances constructed scenarios with the observed and documentary, and her talk will address how both these strategies shape her ideas as well their role in the construction of specific pieces.

Manchot's work has been exhibited internationally, with solo presentations at Haus Am Waldsee, Berlin; The Photographers' Gallery, London; Focalpoint Gallery, Southend-on-Sea; Kunsthaus Mettmann, Duesseldorf; and Cornerhouse, Manchester. She has contributed to numerous group exhibitions, including the 52nd Venice Biennale and the first Moscow Biennale.

Manchot is represented by Goff + Rosenthal, New York.

This is a child/baby friendly event organised in conjunction with artist Martina Mullaney, founder of Enemies of Good Art.

Lunchtime Talk | Dinu Li

Artist Dinu Li will be discussing the influence on his work of the 17th century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer; in particular in relation to his recent "Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is Mystery."

Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is Mystery (2010) by Dinu Li

Dinu Li was born in Hong Kong and currently lives and works in both the UK and China. He works in video, photography, performance and installation, and focuses on the relationship between the personal and the political, the public and the private.

Informed by cinematic traditions, Li's productions are situated between documented facts, oral histories, chance observations and the figments of imagination. Motion and sound is manipulated - prolonged, reduced or distilled - often interlaced to explore the concept of space and time. Evoking a benign intimacy, a sense of elusiveness pervades Li's productions, drawing the viewer's attention to the epochs of time.

Dinu Li's work has been exhibited internationally, including at the 53rd Venice Biennale and at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. He has undertaken residencies in Kazakhstan, China and the USA and has participated in numerous symposiums at Tate Modern, The British Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum. In 2007, Li published a major monograph of his work "The Mother of All Journeys" by Dewi Lewis Publishing, and was short-listed in the same year for the Contemporary Book Award at the Rencontres d'Arles Awards.

This is a child/baby friendly event organised in conjunction with artist Martina Mullaney, founder of Enemies of Good Art.

Artist Talk | Sachiyo Nishimura | Monday 9th May 2011

Sachiyo Nishimura is an exciting young artist whose graphic reconstructions of the urban landscapes are attracting great attention. She has been invited to show at the Royal West of England Academy Open in 2011; selected for the 2010 Magenta Foundation Annual; was winner of the 2009 DLA Piper Award and was chosen as one of the Bloomberg New Contemporaries in 2008.

Drawn to the visual language of industrialisation; power lines, train tracks and telecommunication cables, Sachiyo re-purposes these elements into a new abstracted landscape. Making her work in black and white she is constantly seeking to pair down the visual elements, taking us further from the real world contained in the original photograph into a highly graphic re-interpretation.

Artist Talk | Isidro Ramirez | Monday 4th April

Photographer Isidro Ramirez often uses architecture to express his ideas and in his series "360 Degrees" he uses the stark Soviet era buildings of East Berlin to question the idea of photography's veracity as a recording medium.

By combining four images shot from the four corners of a single one of these buildings into one photograph Isidro not only produces an image that can never be seen in reality but gives the viewer a new understanding of the urban landscape captured in its entirety.

Isidro is a post graduate in Photography and Urban Cultures from Goldsmiths College and has exhibited extensively including at the Viewfinder gallery, London; Photofusion Gallery, London; Modern Art Oxford; Zelda Cheatle Gallery, London; Galerie Hunchentoot, Berlin and the 2002 photography festival, Photoespana, Madrid.
