CPM is planning a coach trip to Chicago to visit this exhibition. The trip will be on Sunday 19th September and we envisage leaving Madison around 7:30am to allow a full day to take in the exhibition and allow some free time to enjoy the delights of this wonderful city. We will plan to leave Chicago around 4:30 pm to arrive back around 7pm.

 

This exhibition of nearly 300 images is the first full retrospective devoted to Cartier-Bresson in three decades. It includes both his

formally groundbreaking early images and his historically significant post war work-in India and Indonesia during struggles for independence, in China during the revolution, in the Soviet Union following Stalin's death-that redefined the field of photojournalism.

 

More details to follow, including pricing, but this will be on a first come first served basis until the bus is full. CPM members will have priority and a preferential subsidised rate. Each member will be allowed one guest at the same rate.

If you would like to pre register please Email Becky McKenzie at becky@mckenziefam.com We hope you will be able to participate and enjoy what promises to be a wonderful exhibition and a fun day. We also plan to arrange a very pleasant group lunch at the famous Berghoff restaurant for those interested.

StarLight Tews and John Riggs, two Madison-based photographers, team up  to explore the dynamic interrelationship between events of the mind and vistas of the world as received through the eye. By contrasting the subjective and objective,  the feminine and masculine, the inner vision with the outer, the viewer is given an opportunity to experience the possibility of apparently opposing world views.
