Fortunately, in the Financial Times I read on the plane there was a review of the Martin Parr retrospective at the Barbican, and I headed there as soon as I had checked into my hotel. The retrospective is huge (1971-now)and genuinely eye-opening. I was familiar with his colour work (e.g. Think of England) but it was very interesting to see his early B&W reportage stuff too. The exhibit is well organised and there is a very funny electronic version of his "couples" game--a project he did in the 70s, where he photographed 9 couples in Manchester (I think) together, then separately. The game consists of trying to match the men with the women by guessing who "fits" together. A comprehensive catalogue is available for the rather stiff price of £40, but well worth it. I highly recommend visiting this exhibition for anyone passing through London in the next few weeks. Nathan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
