A Brief Revolution: photography, architecture and social space in the Manplan project
Fascinating small exhibition at the Photographers’ Gallery looking at a series of supplements in Architectural Review in 1969-70 which critiqued 1960s town planning. In eight themed works the journal examined different aspects and themes of urban life and commissioned a different photo journalist or street photographer for each issue. The show had a lovely selection of images as well as copies of some other supplements showing the commissioned covers which all featured versions of a human head. I loved the clarity of the photographs and recognised a number of the photographers from previous shows. Closes 12 June 2023
