Edmund Clark

Funding for further photography for his book on Extraordinary Rendition - the apprehension and extrajudicial transfer of a person from one country to another.

Building on his award-winning work about Guantanamo Bay, Ed is now working on this project which combines documents related to extraordinary rendition with photography of and around black sites, proxy sites, support sites and the homes of rendered men. The work will explore the scale and opaqueness of rendition and the experience of the men caught up in this compendium of complicity.
The work is based on a collaboration with the main investigator in the UK who has spent years compiling the documents piecing together the traces of the rendered, their handlers and the places they have been.

The work will visualise and display the material representing both the paper trail of evidence (documents,flight data, found images, secret service reports, accounts and drawings by detainees), and the enormity of the convoluted task undertaken in compiling it. The documents, many of which are previously unpublished,and photographs will be presented as both parts of the evidential paper trail and as compelling visual objects which communicate through the power of their appearance.

The work will be part of a book and sown as a touring exhibition.

Mostyn, Llandudno, Wales 16 June - 30 September 2012
Ffotogallery, Cardiff, Wales 19 October - December 2012

This body of work further develops Jo's interest in Perfection. The project has evolved from her previous body of work, The Refusal - a study of the British Whippet with a focus on conventions of portraiture, a perfect body form, and the contradictory controlling/loving relationship between human and dog. She has now switched her enquiry from the ideal body to the perfect performance exploring the physical and emotional experiences of elite gymnasts in training and competition.

National Gallery - Seduced by Art: Photography Past and Present
31 October 2012 - 20 January 2013
The grant was for the educational programme being mounted in conjunction with this ground-breaking exhibition. It will provide the opportunity to see much-loved Old Master paintings alongside exceptional examples of early and contemporary photography. It will present major photographers working today who trace their sources back to 19th century photography and often, surprisingly, to more distant art historic traditions.

National Media Museum First Book Award, part of the 2013 Kraszna-Krausz Book Awards, in partnership with MACK.
The foundation provided part of the funding for this new award to support the publication of a book by a previously unpublished photographer. The winner of the First Book Award 2013 is the young American photographer Paul Salveson with his series of absurdist constructions in which commonplace objects are jocosely rendered in polychromatic puzzles. The book published for the award adopts the form of a children's board book, an extraordinary and ungainly object which further emphasises the incongruous nature of Salveson's work.

Photovoice
This is the fourth year, abd final year, of a project, with the award-winning international charity, which helps underwrite projects which empower some of the most disadvantaged groups in the world with photographic skills so that they can transform their lives. Through photography these individuals find confidence in their voices and are enabled to speak out about their challenges, concerns, hopes and fears.

2013

Maja Daniels

for her project, River Valley Vernacular, photograhed in the Swedish valley of Alvdalen - a community with a dark, insular spirit”.  This project combines photographs taken from 2011 to 2017 with curious pictures from an archive amassed by a man named Tenn Lars Persson (1878 –1938), a local inventor, mechanic and photographer. These two artists come together across centuries to create a coherent narrative; in doing so, it naturally draws attention to possible fictions of documentary photography. Layered with the relics of this remote region, which to this day speaks the near-extinct ancient language of Elfdalian. This was published as a book, Elf Dalia, by Mack Books in May 2019.
