Saudek

The Kings Road Arches in Brighton are the ideal place to go if you are seeking shelter from the seafront storm. But what few people realise is that during the second world war they were home to the Chzech artists and photographer Jan Saudek as he fled oppression. In the fetid dank spacewas his shelter and studio for 3 years. The work that he produced during this period is considered some of his finest.

The top slide show is the “most interesting” the middle one shows the most recent photos and the bottom is of images tagged with fancy dress.

Is it wholesome-cheese or feaky-oddball when an entire family want to dress up as cows?

I will have some very articulate verbiage to publish on the matter soonish, untill then…

Get”as bare as you dare”

The Level, Sunday 14th June 12.00 Noon

Follow me for the latest news on the World naked bike ride

The (1000) images above were tagged with “Brighton Naked Bike Ride” on Flickr

Part of the sixth annual World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR), join thousands more internationally in this growing environmental protest and celebration of cycling and the human body. Public nudity at the event is also a powerful symbol of cyclists’ vulnerability on the road, and the empowering experience of safety in numbers. And let’s face it, without the safety in numbers, you would be alone and naked, on a bike which would feel shrivelingly unempowering at best.

The be-naked or see-naked theory states that the vast majority of people enjoy either wearing no clothes or watching other people in that state. The theory contends that bliss can only be obtained by finding enjoyment in both simultaneously. Apparantly it is something to do with yin-yan, left-brain-right-brain stuff. Or something. This event will be a perfect chance to see where you are placed on the be-naked or see-naked spectrum. It’s experimental.

Nick Sayers, co-organiser of the Brighton ride, said: “The economic crisis highlights that we can’t rely on the authorities to do the right thing. It’s time for people to demand concrete action to reduce carbon emissions and make sustainable lifestyles accessible to all. The World Naked Bike Ride is a welcome reminder that you don’t need a big carbon footprint to get around, and you don’t need credit to have a good time.” He continued: “A recession is a good point to re-think the direction we’re going, and alter course accordingly. However, the government’s response has been to bail out the motor industry and encourage cheap credit to fuel consumerism and the purchase of more cars. We think our money should be used to create a useful legacy by improving the infrastructure needed for sustainable transport instead.”

The local MPs for Brighton and Hove are attending the event wearing only the hair-shirts that all Honourable Members will be forced to wear to avoid a sleaze induced revolution.

All rather serious sounding stuff, but it’s also a bit of fun with a carnival atmosphere.  The ride routes offer participants an incredible “naked sightseeing experience” of Brighton and Hove. 

The photographs in the slideshow were all found on Flickr. All were tagged with as “public” and to find out the details of the original photographers, click on the images.

Martin Schreiber, Nude Madonna

Madonna Nudes – 12 best

“I’ll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
‘Cuz everyone knows that’s how you get famous”

…well it worked for Madonna

Madonna  nude in Brighton. Well not really, but she has been nude lots of other times.

Recently, photographs of Madge’s Vad sold for $37,500 dollars. The photos were taken in 1978 by Lee Friedlander, but just gathered dust in a large porn-pile. Her fame in 1985 was sufficient to see them published in Playboy. She also found time to get naked for Bill stone in 1978; Penthouse published these images in 1985.

Bill Stone

Martin Screiber took the Impure images in 1979, when Madge was a year older and a year wiser. By this time she had lerned that for $25 dollars you keep your legs closed. She had also reached a level of professionalism whereby live animals could safely be incorporated into a photoshoot. These shots found their way into main-stream porn in 1986.

Martin Schneider, 1979

I note in passing the natural, unmanaged pubic hair in these images. It has been commented – by people that really have no idea what they are talking about - that the modern trend for depilatory styles will lead to future generations becoming naturally hairless through genetic inheritance.

Lily Allen

Lily the songstress talks with Allen the twitterer.

Lily: You’re losing control a bit and it’s really distasteful 

Allen:Ok I’m going to bake a cake

Lily: You waste my time and waste my money

Allen: Oh well better than a poke in the eye with a shitty stick.

Lilly:Are you a weapon of massive consumption?

Allen: I just had breakfast, and my next meal will be …………. Breakfast, go figure

Allen: I’m so hungry, I could eat the arse out of a low flying duck.

Allen: the restaurant is yum

Lily: Fuck you (fuck you)
Fuck you very very much
Cause we hate what you do and we hate your whole crew
So please don’t stay in touch
Fuck you (fuck you)
Fuck you very very much
Cause your words don’t translate and it’s getting quite late
So please don’t stay in touch

If it hasn’t been lyricised it has been tweeted. Good old Lily is just soooo down to earth. Oh I so hate being a celebrity. I am going to include my fans in minutiae and more. I am with you sister, if only i was’t so famous we could hang together.

Lily and Allen are both playing at the Brighton Dome tonight Friday 20th March. but as the whole concert will be twitted to you anyway you can save your money.

Rosie Holmes: Little Worlds

…

who?

My name is Rosie Holmes and I am a brighton-based artist using photography, film and animation. My work typically explores other versions of our reality or world that we humans choose to create or exist in.

what?

In the series ‘Little Worlds’, I have created intimate portrayals of life within the miniature world of model railways that attempt to explore the human urge to recreate tiny versions of our reality. These fictional, and yet familiar, narratives scratch beneath the surface of this seemingly innocent world and go beyond the benign.

why?

Inspired visually by the cinematic, these narratives are manipulated to include an adult perspective of this world where childhood innocence is mingled with a sense of loneliness, alienation and voyeurism.

 
This work is currently being exhibited at the Crane Kalman Gallery, 38 Kensington Gardens, North Laines, Brighton until 22nd March.

For further information contact rosieholmesis@gmail.com

This is an entry for the Beachdown Festival photographt competiton.

The Hussy is going to send a photographer to capture all the festivalness of Beachdown, if you are interested in participating see the Hussy’s competiton section for details.

It is Free to enter.

You can’t move in Brighton without tripping over a happy-snapping-photograher. The result of this? I was recently flicking through flickr when I searched for images tagged with Brighton. The result is over half a million photographs. Here they are in a slideshow. If you want to look at all of them I calculate that at one-second per view it will take you…..SIX DAYS! Please let me know if you manage this marathon. If you pop out the player (button at bottom right) it makes an interesting screensaver.

If my attempt at embedding this slideshow turn to custard, just go here..

It is obviously impossible to credit each photographer here, but their details appear if you click on the image, you can then find them on www.flickr.com to see their details.

The idea behind this series was that an inanimate plastic has no personality. Everything about it must be projected onto it by the viewer. So, bearing this in mind, I found it amusing when at the exhibition then people kept discussing the “highly erotic” nature of the subject. Well, actually they are 5cm high and came from a pound shop. It is all in your head mate.

Personally, I think they need to be looked after and given a good home. The back story I see  involves negelct and living in cellars. But, that must be in my head? So maybe viewing plastic dolls as erotically charged is actually better.

Petrusco-she came from the sea

[Show as slideshow]

“The model in ‘she came from the sea’ resisted the fish tank at first but when she saw us struggling with it along the beach she caved in. The sea was misbehaving too. It almost swallowed the tank. The idea behind this photograph was to capture the fragile relationship between man and nature. ‘West pier inhabitants’ is a mix of improvisation and circumstances. My friend Peter told me about the very low deep tide revealing normally submerged parts of the West Pier in the mornings for about an hour and a half. My friend Veronica agreed to model but she was babysitting. “Bring the boy you’re looking after,” I told her. Then it was dressing up time in colourful rags and facial masks.”

Lots more lovely and excciting prints can be viewed and bought from www.petruscoseye.com

Yvonne Luna

“Though it looks like a Christmas pic, this one was actually taken early April last year, when we had a freak snowstorm. As seasoned all-year-round sea swimmers, the first thing my friends and I think when we see snow is ‘Quick – down to the beach for a swim!’ Actually it’s easy when you go in regularly and keep acclimatised. On this particular day we used the Brighton Sailing Club to change in – and even managed to persuade some of the sailors into the sea with us. They had all been hanging about at their bar looking miserable because the first day of their sailing season had been scuppered by the storm – until we came along and offered them an alternative activity! Here we see Nick Sayers, more famous for organising naked and low-tide bike rides, coming in from the cold.”
