SOURCE MAGAZINES TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL LIST....

So the new SOURCE magazine is out and with it comes a pamphlet 'SOURCE MA/MFA GRADUATE PHOTOGRAPHY ONLINE 2012'. I love SOURCE it's one of my favourite mags (even if the writings a bit skew sometimes) and I love this list that comes out as well. Much more interesting than the CRITICAL MASS list I mentioned in the last post. There's some proper intersting work coming out of British and Irish uni's I'm going to flag up my highlights from the list over the next week or so. It's daunting really, so much new talent coming online year after year. And they want to take art off the main curriculum, good it might give the rest of us a fucking chance.

I got sent this from my mate ED.

Hi Mark,
How's things. I was wondering if I could get another favour? If possible
could you post about the new course the whitworth will be running? I'm just
starting to take bookings and I thought it would be of interest to some of
your followers (I think this should be readers!)... Here's the details anyway if you can.

Contemporary Landscape Photography
8-week course, Saturdays starting 15th January, 1pm ­ 3pm, £100*

In response to our Land Between Us; power, place and dislocation exhibition,
submerse yourself in the world of contemporary landscape photography. Hear
from practicing photographers to inspire and inform your own work and learn
the skills and techniques needed to capture all your ideas. In
partnership with the Zion Centre in Hulme the course will be split between
artist talks here at the Whitworth and practical sessions over at the Zion
Centre. Culminating with an exhibition of your work created on the course
within the Zion Centre's gallery at the end of April.

The University of Cumbria, or to be more exact Photography at the University of Cumbria seems to be going from strength to strength.
