“The Route to Publication” talk by Wendy McMurdo – key points:-
As photographers we are aiming to resolve and visualise our projects
We need to explore themes of publication and the alternative routes to publication
More and more we are moving away from the traditional paradigm of the photobook and the solo exhibition
We need to consider other options including zines and online platforms.
Consider collaboration to publish projects in the public domain
Use of social media for publishing or raising profile of work
Use of 3D models as part of the work – David Moore
Can’t control all aspects of the route to publication
Take opportunities for publication as they arise
A project may take many iterations before it is ready for publication
It is really important to draw others to your work
Research other artists – try to work with them
Show your work to others who will be interested in your work
Publishing platforms include:-
Photobook
Solo exhibition
Zine
Online
Social media
Blog – photos and narrative
Digital animations
Actions Arising:-
Consider DACS paper on social media
Read the Photographers Gallery blog “Unthinking Photography”
