Margate Photo Festival

I had a fantastic time at the Margate Photo Festival today. My first visit to the Turner home ground but it will certainly not be the last. There was a good deal of talent on show backed up by some vintage prints from Martin Parr.

One of the more intriguing exhibits was a performance piece by James Hodgson. At this point he was beckoning me (non-verbally) to hand him another piece of coloured card to patch up his makeshift home.

His show stood out from the crowd by rejecting sincerity and embracing a playful spirit. He came out of his shell eventually to timidly present a female viewer with some stickers.

The Turner Contemporary was good and bad in equal measures. This picture is of the entrance and displays a portion of a piece by Daniel Buren. It was the most impressive art I witnessed in the introductory show but I'm probably tired from the journey.
