It’s been a busy year for Wideyed but behind the scenes Louise has been beavering away making SHOOT!, a limited edition artists book published by Wideyed Editions . The handbound book brings together the photographs that were exhibited at Durham Art Gallery November 2013-January 2014, with game recipes donated by the shooting syndicate members.
SHOOT! is being launched at Durham Art Gallery on Friday 28th November, 6-8pm

Wideyed and Periskop are working together to bring a taste of the ‘Balkan Periskop experience’ to Sunderland Minster, Friday 1st November 2013 as part of North East Photography Network’s The Social:Encountering Photography.
The two collectives will together produce an event that combines projections of slideshows curated from Periskop’s impressive catalogue with those of photographers selected from this open call.
Photographers from the Balkan diaspora living in the UK and photographers whose work explores Balkan issues are invited to submit work for Wideyed Periskop. Slideshows corresponding to the theme ‘The Social’ are also of particular interest.
From submissions, Wideyed and Periskop will together curate a programme of slideshows to present work as part of the event. Images submitted should form part of a coherent body of work.
Deadline: Sunday 13th October.

As well as taking orders for larger prints we will be bringing with us a selection of smaller framed prints using recycled frames from charity shops, photo badges, used (and unusual) camera equipment and our recent publication ‘In Vino Veritas’ ……with a few Wideyed suprises to boot.
The Photo Market in Derbys Victorian Market Hall is open 0900-1700 8th, 9th, 10th March.
Just a quick reminder… In Vino Veritas will be open from 10am today!
Francois Blanchard, the winemaker and subject of our exhibition will be joining us at the preview this Wednesday evening and if this isn’t exciting enough we also have cake! and not just any cake, its one of Lucy’s mum’s infamous fruit cakes!
We are all in Paris until the 26th so get in touch if you would like to meet us.
If you are unable to make it over to Paris to see In Vino Veritas at Mois de la Photo-OFF then don’t worry! Because, earlier this year we published these newspapers. For £10.50 + p&p you can have a copy posted right to your door!
Scroll through the pages here
You can save postage of course by arranging to meet us in Paris! We will be there until 26th November
So, if you feel you’ve been kept in the dark over the last few months regarding what we have been up to…..you could consider liking us on Facebook, or following us on Twitter. You can even sign up to our newsletter too…you know, the belt & braces approach….
Hello!!!
Well, its been a while….are you still there?!!
OK, to get you up to speed, here’s 2012 to date…
Well, in April, In Vino Veritas, our first collective show (of only our work) opened at Arthouse in London. The private view did not disappoint, with a healthy turnout, the subject of our show in attendance with his family and his wine, an impromptu music performance and a cake that got as much attention as our photographs. (it seems no-one outside the north-east has seen photos printed onto sugar paper!) You can see more about it here.
We returned from London, then, hitting the ground running we took part in International Arts Residency, Nomadic Village 2012. It just so happened that the residency was on our doorstep……..but hey, international artists have to live somewhere! With borrowed accommodation, a caravan with swanky awning for Richard and Lucy, and a 1968 VW camper for me……we enjoyed the only sunny week of the year, tested out Richards ‘office in a van’ complete with standard lamp, collaborated with NPIA, a forensic training centre resulting in 20 kids and a journalist dressing up as CSI’s and combing the site for evidence of travel, and made new work entitled Foreign Bodies.
You can read more here. Foreign Bodies was then reconfigured, using forensic evidence bags into a touring format, and joined our Captain Klaus on a tour through Europe back to Austria.
Meanwhile…..elsewhere in May……our 2011 work for Collectives Encounter was invited to stroll over to Poland for FOTOFESTIWAL 2012 in LODZ. The multimedia piece created as part of Re:Mapping The Flaneur was shown at The Collective Space alongside Sputnik Photos, NOOR, TerraProject and Verso, the latter two collectives coincidentally contributed to our original Flanerie.
So, catching up now……..and there’s still time to see this……Richard’s Lost Waltz , an outdoor installation curated by Wideyed and Human Endeavour is showing at the Brighton Photo Fringe and has been extended until 27th November.
Finally, and more on this in a bit. In Vino Veritas is heading to Paris! ……..very soon….
