We’ve rounded up top things to do this month as recommended by LCC students, staff and our local community.
Exhibitions to visit:
August Sander. Men Without Masks
Hauser & Wirth London
An exhibition dedicated to the late German photographer, a forefather of conceptual art and pioneering documentarian of human diversity. A selection of rare large scale works from this pioneering documentarian of work made in Germany between 1910 and 1931. “Sander’s ‘People of the Twentieth Century’ is rightly held up as one of the most important bodies of photographic work ever produced” recommends Christopher Stewart, Programme Director Photography.

Dorothea Lange/Vanessa Winship: A Photography Double Bill
Art Gallery, Barbican Centre
A double bill of exhibitions featuring pioneering documentary photographer and visual activist, Dorothea Lange, and award-winning contemporary photographer, Vanessa Winship. “The brilliant Dorothea Lange’s Depression era photographs including those she shot for the Farm Security Administration in the 1930’s, including a whole room devoted to her iconic Migrant Mother portrait. And a long overdue solo show of the British documentary photographer Vanessa Winship – one of the most important contemporary documentary photographers working at the moment.” recommends Christopher Stewart, Programme Director Photography.
