Oh, running a half marathon in the morning but free after 11 if you just want to carry me to the pub?

Edit: I will also smell quite bad

Can you let me know if it’s more than just his war photography there?

Habsolutely! I want to go for a run in the morning too so I’m probably looking to do brekkie around 11 then free for a walk or whatever and then we can settle into a pub or something? All pretty easy tbh. And of course @anon82218317 would be great if you could come! :slight_smile:

I’m playing football now at Sunday lunchtime so won’t be able to join for breakfast. If the pub isn’t too far from the Arsenal stadium I may be able to join for a swift pint before going to watch football.

Cool! :slight_smile: I should be free from 11 if folk want to grab breakfast around then?

Went this afternoon.

It’s a career-spanning exhibition, from his late 50s pictures taken around Finsbury Park - including the famous “Guv’nors in their Sunday suits” - to his recent work documenting the destruction of Palmyra.

Inevitably, about 50% of the works on display are of wars and armed conflicts, as that has been his main focus over the past 5 decades. And the other topics covered are not particularly cheerful either: homelessness in London’s East End, desolation in Bradford or the impact of AIDS in Zambia. Even his landscape photography is dark and gloomy.

Really worth going though.

Thanks so much for this man. Weighing up whether to go on my wife’s birthday but wasn’t sure if it was an apt day for mainly war photography having both seen that documentary from a couple of years ago. Gonna hedge my bets and book it!

Hey man,

I initially said I was up for this and a reminder has popped up on my phone. I really hate to do so, but my MH is so irredeemably fucked at the moment that I’m going to have to bail. My apologies.

Hope you all have a lovely day, though and hope to catch you another time.

Yes

It’s quite pricey these days (£76) but I do use it a lot. You get free entry to all ticketed exhibitions. I go to almost every exhibition at Tate Modern and Tate Britain and maybe once a year to one at Tate Liverpool as well. And in particular at Tate Modern I go and see exhibitions multiple times, as I can just pop in at lunch time for half an hour. Plus you can always get entry even if regular tickets are sold out (like yesterday).

I use the Members Room at Tate Modern a fair bit too as I like sitting on the terrace on sunny days, but there’s no financial benefit to that. It’s just a nice thing to do. I can bring a guest so if anyone fancies lunch one day …
