    PHOTOSLUT LIVE: NOEMA

    We are living out best GQT (IFYKYK) life - live and direct from 17 Midland Road Gallery! Join us in the usual chaos of conversation as we speak to OG No.1 photoslut Michael Swann all about 'Noema' at his Bristol book launch and exhibition! In 1961, in the small Spanish village of San Sebastian de Garabandal, four young girls had an apparition of the Virgin Mary. They entered a state of ecstasy in which they became completely unaware of their surroundings and sensory perceptions. Reportedly, witnesses would pinch the girls, pierce their skin with needles, lift them up and drop them onto rough rocks, and yet they remained entranced. The light and presence of the Virgin is all they claim to have experienced. Twenty years later, in the town of Medjugorje, Bosnia & Herzegovina, six children also had simultaneous visions of the Virgin, with similar ecstatic qualities. These visions have persisted for the last forty years, with several of the seers continuing to experience regular visitations today, often in the presence of hundreds of pilgrims. Noema is a body of work that investigates the aura of place and religious experience by searching for signs of the Virgin Mary’s presence in these two locations.  Noema is published by Kult Books 2024 and using the link below! https://www.michaelswann.co.uk/store/noema-book Hosted on Acast.

    Yours until Niagara Falls

    SERCHIA is a residential and not-for-profit gallery residing in a Victorian home on a hillside in Cotham, Bristol. Founded in the summer of 2021, we celebrate contemporary artists, who make visible what would otherwise never be seen. The gallery hosts an artist-in-residence programme, ‘Artwork from Home’ welcoming artists to stay with us, to create artwork unique to the space, and to interact with the community through a constellation of public and private events, artist talks, workshops, and openings. Curated by Christine Marie Serchia, the gallery is named after her father Frank Serchia who famously built 'Serchia Drive', a driveway to their family's home in Youngstown, New York. Later, Frank built a boat dock on the Niagara River (Serchia Beach), and an outdoor dining area in the garden (Serchia Bistro). Using the name Serchia is a reference to reimagining the idea of home and the way we understand what we see every day. https://serchiagallery.square.site/ Hosted on Acast.

    YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE (hopefully)

    We are on location! PS ventures out to the sticks on a quest to squeeze photographer, maker and educator Jamie Murray for all his wisdom. We cover everything from his debut photobook Folly to OFWGKTA. Enjoy and check out Jamie's book below! 'The photographs in Folly, the debut photobook from Jamie Murray, were born from a series of conversations with individuals who have been incarcerated. Discussions of what had led to punishment, navigating the prison environment and the transition to freedom flowed towards philosophy, ideas of discipline and punishment, intertwined with questions around natural order and spirituality. The resulting allegorical photographs in Folly refer, both directly and indirectly, to what was said and how these conversations affected Murray.' https://photobookstore.co.uk/collections/photo-editions/products/folly Hosted on Acast.
