Happenings in London tonight – Renaissance, Ed Kashi and Contact Slideshows
Its a busy photography night in London so if you are looking for something to do…
The Renaissance Photography Prize exhibition opens tonight at 4pm and goes on until tomorrow (I would suggest avoiding tomorrow evening as the Celebrity Gala costs 60 quid!). The photographs (which include pieces by two friends – Marta Moreiras and Brett Van Ort) are being sold to raise money for the Lavender Trust at Breast Cancer Care. Im digging a lot of the images in the Peoples category. Check it out at the Gallery of The Hospital Private Members’ Club, 24 Endell Street, London. The exhibition will be open to the public from 4pm – 10pm on Tuesday 20 April and from 10am – 4pm on Wednesday 21 April.

Ed Kashi‘s Prix Pictet commission on Madagascar is opening tonight at the Diemar/Noble gallery. The opening is by RSVP but the exhibition is open until May 1. I here that Ed won’t be there as planned due to volcanic ash… sounds stranger when you say it out loud.
