BBC Radio 4: The Art of Now with Garry Fabian-Miller
We were delighted to tune into BBC Radio 4 this week to gain a fascinating insight into the work and life of fine art photographer, Garry Fabian-Miller, who is exhibiting as part of our 'Seeing Red' exhibition, opening this Saturday.
"We join him as he uses up the very last of the chemistry which enable him to use the techniques he has spent a lifetime perfecting, before his dark room is closed forever. Reflecting a change out of his studio and in the world - in 2007 there were 204 professional dark rooms in London, by 2010 there were 8. We hear his story of printing - a physical, technical skill, as well as a dangerous and smelly one. We envisage the end of the analogue era of photography, and celebrate the alchemical eclipse. Curator of photography from the V&A Martin Barnes salutes his work, and how it harks back to the very start of photography, just as this chapter is coming to an end. From the spooky mists of Hound Tor to making pictures in the dark, Fabian-Miller takes us one step closer to the end of an era."
