Edinburgh I love. Monochrome ink drawings I love. Monochrome indian ink drawings of Edinburgh I adore. Jamie Primose has such an exhibition on at the Dundas Street Gallery in Edinburgh.
He layers delicate shadowed images of the Old Town, Southside, Marchmont and the Meadows in a timeless journey of contempory art. Jamie has many sell-out collections to his name; you really must see this exhibition. Here's a link for an on line gallery of Jamie's images : link

Trongate 103 continues to impress with this exhibition entitled Italian Style on the Silver Screen. The images on show explore the relationship between Italian fashion design and its influence on cinema. The exhibition features rare and never seen before images and costumes from the cinematic world. It's not on for long. Here's a link to the exhibition : link

I guess you've all heard of Pete Tong. Yeah? Well Kurt Tong is no relation. Kurt was born in Hong Kong (the birth place/surname rhyme is purely accidental and I only mention it by way of a cheap joke); he is now based in the UK. His work is largely influenced by Chinese traditions and history.
This exhibition shows a series of photographs of items made of joss paper to be burned as offerings for the dead. Originally, coins and animals were buried with the dead, but when that proved too expensive for commoners, they began burning joss paper decorated with seals, stamps, silver or gold paint, as offerings to the spirits to ensure they lived well in the afterlife. In the last 50 years offerings have become more and more elaborate. Objects are molded from the paper, some reflecting traditional culture, but many reflecting the consumer culture which is taking over China. Here's a photography exhibition link to Kurt's photography exhibition : link

"The title of this project was taken from the Act to encourage the gradual civilization of the Indian tribes in this Province and to amend the Laws respecting Indians, commonly called the Gradual Civilization Act, a bill passed by the 5th Parliament of the Province of Canada in 1857".

Starting today (February 18th, 2011), the Museum of London has a new exhibition of photography. It's called "London Street Photography", it brings together the works of 59 photographers and I'm guessing it has something to do with street photography in London. If you can't make it down to the "the smoke" you can see some of the images on the BBC website. Here's a link to the BBC website : link

John Thomson (1837 - 1921) was a (Scottish) pioneering photojournalist. From 4th February 2011 the Burrell Collection, in Pollok Park, have a major exhibition of his images taken in mid-19th Century China; its landscapes, culture and people. The subject matter is fascinating alone but consider Thomson's importance in the history of photojournalism and you have a significant exhibition.
