Ealing
Launch night and Ealing BEAT weekends
September's meeting was the opening of the Blondin exhibition. It was a lovely evening on a gorgeous late summer's day cataching up over a drink, bathing in the satisfying aftermath of the exhibtion going up, chatting with friends. It looks great and will get so much footfall by virtue of its location. To add a bit of fun to the evening Nick had brought along his slackline which was set low to the ground for anyone to have a go.
BEAT is also in full flow now and weekend one has just drawn to a close. Hopefully visitors to Blondin enjoyed their visit as part of the local art trail.
Blondin is live!
Blondin, the group photo exhibition in Blondin Park, was installed today and is now live. We are delighted to be a bit ahead of schedule so that it will be there for Brentford festival as well as ready for BEAT. [Thanks to Angelika for the photos]

Blondin - group exhibition in Blondin Park
Blondin is an outdoor exhibition of photographs illustrating the life of Blondin Park. It is this year's Ealing LIP group exhibition. We have discovered parts of the park and activities that have caught our imagination. They are on display on boards outdoors so you can view them at any time.
The exhibition will feature as part of this year's BEAT (Borough of Ealing Art Trail) which runs over the weekends of 9-10 Sept and 16-17 Sept, but will remain up for several months.
It is live now. So do visit! Do join us for an official opening launch on Sept 6 at 7pm in the park by the boards.
The group currently have two outdoor exhibitions in ealing as Unlocked is still on display on the putside of Ealing Police Station.
Park life and portraits
A review of our submissions for this year's BEAT project was the main subject of July's meeting. The group has been busy spending time in Blondin Park, a local open space that also has a pavilion for community activities, to create a collection of reflections on the life of the park.
It's been a great opportunity for us to represent the range of styles and interests within the group and engage with our local neighbourhood. We plan to exhibit our work in an outdoors gallery in the park and it will be an interesting companion to our Ealing Unlocked project on the facade of Ealing police station, created for BEAT two years ago which is still on show!
We always make time for members to share their work in our meetings and this month we had a fascinating range of work.
We started with some of Aasem's latest images and a wonderful drone view of Tower Bridge. Ray then showed work in progress on his family portraits plus prints of two new triptychs, Inspirational as always.

Jonny shared some great natural portraits of two women, Mariza and Maria, who work in an ethical cleaning company called Clean For Good set up to pay cleaners the London Living Wage.

Frankie shared some more triptychs...
...and an experiment with six images too.

Brigitte is also developing ideas using this technique, taking a documentary approach in work from Brighton and Rome. Another fascinating development.

We concluded with a review of meeting topics for the rest of the year. It's looking really promising with a book launch and AI on the agenda too!

One year on
unlocked exhibition at ealing police station - photo by edmond terakopian
As we are about to open this year's exhibtion, last year's exhibtion unlocked has been up now on the outside of Ealing Police Station for a whole year. Initially it would have been two weeks that got extended until Christmas 2021 but they have let it run. It's largely because the building is due to be sold and then likely to be demolished so we are hoping we don't have to take it down before that point.
Trickster Remakes This World Exhibition
We're back as a group with a new thought provoking photography exhibition from Ealing Lip inspired by the book Trickster Makes this World by Lewis Hyde. It is part of BEAT - the wonderful Ealing art trail and we are delighted to be in a central venue.
