Crowded scenes at the private view of ‘Crash Open’ at the Charlie Dutton Gallery, London – a lot of interesting work on show, if you can get past the crowds!

Lady in Gasmask
- Picnic in a gasmask
Sometimes we get lucky in our search for photographs – this image of a lady in a gasmask was in a large collection of photos in a plastic shopping bag that we bought in Camden market a few years ago.
Probably dating from the 1940’s it possesses a glimpse into a world – strange yet normal.
The image could easily be a still from an early sci-fi film. We have no information on the identity of the sitter but the image provides a great start for our work.

A vision of the past or preview of our future?
Life in Thirties America
Here’s a great image of America in the depression that we found on our weekly photo hunts.
This is one of a series of images of a family, their home and friends – they seem to be spending a lot of time in their car looking for a nice spot to have their picnic – looking at the other images I don’t think it really matters where they pick – it all looks barren and empty.

The Mark in Weimar Germany
Are we heading for a taste of German history?
50 Mark note 1919
By the end of 1919 more than 47 paper Marks were required to buy one US dollar.
One Million Mark note December 1922
Ten Million Mark note August 1923
One Hundred Million Mark note August 1923
When the new monetary Laws were brought in on 30th August 1924 old paper 1,000,000,000,000 Mark notes were exchanged for one new Reichsmark.
Something to think about?

Trying Forms
A small fly painting by Tom Juneau
It was the private view of Trying Forms at Testbed1 in Battersea last night – a good time for all. With artists; Colin Allen, Michael Burton, Will Cruickshank, Tom Juneau, Michiko Nitta & Robin Von Einsiedel putting on a mixed show in the unusual space by the new RCA fine art complex. An interesting show with highlights including a video installation (Solarium from Alga-culture) by Burton & Nitta & a range of subtle fly paintings by Juneau.
The evening was rounded off nicely with a free beer & food and a late night tour of the RCA furnace.
