An exhibition of British documentary photography has just landed in Cardiff, UK.
Described as a document of photography from the late 1960s until the late 1980s, No Such Thing as Society is drawn from the collections of the Arts Council and the British Council, and claims to present "a radically new picture of these two turbulent decades".
The show, curated by David Alan Mellor, brings together 150 photographs by over 30 documentary photographers including
Keith Arnatt, John Benton Harris, Ian Berry, Derek Boshier, Victor Burgin, Vanley Burke, David Butterworth, David Chadwick, Tarik Chawdry, John Davies, Ian Dobbie, Peter Fraser, Gilbert & George, George & Zippy, Paul Graham, Brian Griffin, Christine Hobbeheydar, Alexis Hunter, Phillip Jones-Griffiths, Chris Killip, Bob Long, Markéta Luskacová, Ron McCormick, Peter Marlow, Daniel Meadows, Peter Mitchell, Raymond Moore, Tish Murtha, Martin Parr, Gilles Peress, Tony Ray-Jones, Jurgen Schadeberg, Graham Smith, Chris Steele-Perkins, Homer Sykes and Paul Trevor.
Phew.

Saw this today, it was pretty nice. Briefly interviewed Meadows, as we were shooting about the Stravaganza. There's a massive really impressive shot from the Cost of Living that you'd like, plus four Tony Ray-Jones prints that are AMAZING, such as this in print:

Hi Joni
Thanks. I was hoping for a contribution from the Cardiff posse. I must make it up to have a look myself...
Excellent, I was heading to Cardiff this for the Diane Arbus Exhibition, this is the icing on the cake. Two exhibitions in one weekend.
Paul, if you are coming to Cardiff, just let know.
