In Nigeria, people with disability or physical impairment are not addressed in the politically correct manner we are used to in the West; a cripple is not “differently abled” but a cripple, a blind is a blind and that’s it. Everything is accepted and starkly exposed. Wounds and impairments are visible to all, often exhibited to pity or scare, and sometimes in order to get some small change from passers-by.

Forty-five years ago, the Emir of Ilorin gave the blind folks of his city their own neighborhood, called Koro Afoju, which means “the refuge of the blind”. The Makafi Serkin, or the King of the Blinds, is traditionally elected by his blind people and he represents the Emir of Ilorin and is mandated by the Emir to settle social matters among his blind constituency. Typically these social disputes do not reach the severity of criminal actions, and additionally the King of the Blind helps to raise money for relief to tribe members in cases of bereavement, illness, travel.

PHOTOLITA EXHIBITION OPENING AT FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, LONDON JULY 9TH 2010

PHOTOLITA is an antidote to Photoshop, reflecting a growing rejection amongst artists of the ubiqui- tous ease of a digital aesthetic. The artist’s role is to say no to the common currency and to find their own way. The group of artists in this show have chosen to work with analogue photographic processes, drawing on the unpredictability of light and the deliberate pursuit of chance. Away from the screen and in the sun- light or darkroom there is less control, and a directness that can be open-ended, creatively satisfying and risk-taking. The artists are guided by their own restless interest in the world, and their perspective in PHOTOLITA is the recognition of incomplete knowledge. The work experiments with the earliest forms of photography, cyanotype and van dyke, liquid emulsion, instant Polariod, infrared and panoramic film, pinhole and cameraless photography. At the opening of PHOTOLITA, Michele Turriani will be delivering a live black and white dark room performance and there will be a short documentary to accompany the show, filmed on Super 8 by Phil Hale.

ARTISTS IN PHOTOLITA

􏰀 PHIL HALE 􏰀

Phil Hale is a London-based painter whose work has been heavily influenced by his own experimentation in analogue photography. With film supplied by The Impossible Project (www.impossibleprojects.com) and a Polariod SX-70 camera he will take a series of black and white abstracted head shots of his fellow artists and writers in East London.The intention is to include the Polaroids unique presence as a relic of the event itself. Phil Hale was best known for his illustration work for Playboy, Stephen King, Warner Bros and others in the 1990s. In 2000 he made the transition to portraiture and fine art. His portraits have included Thomas Ades for the National Portrait gallery in London and Tony Blair’s official portrait for the House of Commons. His paintings hang in numerous public and private collections including Lords Cricket Grounds, the National Portrait Gallery, the Jerwood foundation and the Royal Portrait Painter’s society.

Perhaps best known for its posters and promotional campaign for Danny Boyle’s 1996 film Trainspotting, and the cover of Blur’s Parklife album cover (crop shown above), design studio Stylorouge celebrated its 30th birthday last summer. To mark the occasion, the studio has been working on a host of self-initiated artworks which are about to go on show at London’s Aubin Gallery…

Stylorouge was formed in 1981 when Rob O’Connor, left his job in the art department at Polydor Records to go solo. Early clients include Siouxsie & The Banshees, Level 42 and Kirsty MacColl, The Passions (signed to The Cure’s label, Fiction) and the then teenage duo known as Wham, to whose name Stylorouge added an exclamation mark.

“Yes, I spent three years at Polydor before starting up on my own, at the arse end of punk,” says Rob O’Connor. “The thing is – it was never my intention to do something longlasting, it was about making good work. Really, lasting 30 years is no more impressive than lasting two years,” he says of the studio’s longevity. “I’ve never really wanted to do something else or had the ambition to build the company into some major thing,” he continues. It’s not about being a business man for me, but about having some job satisfaction.”
