In Conversation with Charlotte Cotton Now Live!!!

So to celebrate the London Launch of my first publication, "The Photograph as Contemporary Art" tonight at the wonderful Claire de Rouen Books, you can now see the "In Conversation" that took place at the bookshop earlier this month between the amazing Charlotte Cotton, Lucy Moore and myself!

Have a listen, it really is a great insight into how, what, when and why this project came to be as well as providing a good starting point to discuss other themes and theories around contemporary photographic practice. 

See you all tonight!

UK Book Launch at Claire de Rouen Books Thursday 30th May 7-9 PM

The London launch for Melinda‘s book, The Photograph As Contemporary Art, which was selected by Photoeye as one of the Best Books of 2012. Join us for a glass of wine and the opportunity to buy a signed copy of the book.

In the run-up to the launch, a conversation between Melinda, Lucy and curator and writer Charlotte Cotton was held at the bookshop. Cotton’s book ‘The Photograph As Contemporary Art’, first published by Thames and Hudson in 2004, is the preliminary document from which Melinda’s eponymous publication is assembled. The discussion will be available to view as a video online at Melinda’s blog from the 30th May onwards.

We very much look forward to seeing you in a few weeks and watch for the launch of the video discussion!
