There are those splendid moments when aimlessly wondering east London, that one is struck down by the atmosphere and the ‘vibey’ hum that’s hanging in the air. A combination of long summer days, the world cup and show time for graduates is making this summer feel already like its going to be a memorable occasion one way or the other. Photography & Mash have been all over the place trying to catch the shows this year but are extremely delighted with the two we’ve specially selected below.
The Royal Collage of Arts ( RCA ) on 14th July and The Bartlett Architecture show which opens today until Saturday 3rd July.
The RCA has a passion for turning out some of the crème de la crème of the photography world every year. MA students that graduate are swooped up almost instantly by the top galleries of London, so we always make sure we get down to have a look before this happens and we advise you do the same because it’s almost a certain that this show is going to be superb.

Secondly The Bartlett Architecture School is recognised as one of the finest in the world and my sources tell me that this will be like ‘pornography’ for the eyes. I must confess my lack of interest in this field has hindered my appreciation for the craft so I’m looking forward to learning from the best! What a great way to be introduced.
Other shows include the Sally Mann exhibition over at the photographers gallery brining into question the atmosphere of the pictorial and the Ernesto Neto exhibition at the Hayward gallery titled ‘The Edges of the World’ and finally Chris Steel-Perkins over in Kings Place which should be a fantastic contextualization exhibition bringing into light the foundations of some of the great photographers such as Tillsman and Martin Parr.
My album for these amazing evenings is Miles Davis - Bitches Brew 1969. This album changed the industry of jazz rock and inspired millions to go onto produce melodic sounds that we can now see reflected is the bests that’s out on the rock market today.
With Love.
