No News Is Good News
The real lives of our news photographers when the agenda ain’t the news.
Overview
Given their unique digs in an old Petersham news agency, it's no surprise that Newsagency Gallery continues to dish up left-of-centre works like the eclectic mayhem of Chas Glover's oil paintings and the multifarious street art of Indonesia's Survive Garage community.
In August, the artist-run initiative is set to carry on in the same vein, inviting us to look through the lens at the lives of the photographers that we trust to bring us the news. Opening on August 9, the free exhibition is a chance to satisfy the media-mad voyeur in all of us, peering through the proverbial looking glass at the real lives of our news photographers when the agenda ain’t the news.
Curated by photojournalism guru James Cottam, No News Is Good News collects the personal work of news photographers including Peter Solness, Sean Davey, Quentin Jones and Jon Reid, revealing what's behind the broadsheet.
Newsagency Gallery is open Saturday and Sunday.
