Last year in March my Inadequates series were exhibited in the great cinema hall on the top floor of the brand new Quad building in Derby. 24 images ( 12 very large / 12 A2's) of mine were displayed. Next door was Magnum agency showcasing their In Motion concept. You could find under the same roof Cyndy Sherman, Gregory Crewdson, David Lynch, Eric Baudelaire, Hannah Starkey, William Eggleston and many others. Wim Wenders was also part of it in a separate venue.
I wish all the best to the festival which is the best in UK. The layout, location and selection is what you would expect from a top international feast celebrating Photography. Unfortunately the attendance was relatively poor and it really somehow describes the situation in which Photography is nowadays - in serious doubt...
