Visited two photographic exhibitions yesterday, both about Glastonbury festival - which has its 40th anniversary this year - and each had a very different approach. Liam Bailey's Glastonbury:40 years is at the Print Space Gallery (until May 4th) at Kingsland Street, in London, takes a more documentary approach, looking at the festival goers with 16 * 20 inch atmospheric monochrome photos while Venetia Dearsden, in the Bookshop Gallery (at the National Portrait Gallery in London until September 26th) used an on site temporary studio for her larger giclee colour portraits of the performers (eg Lily Allen) as well as the people attending. Muddy boots and footprints are common to both exhibitions.
Take a look at each - you'll see a very different - and equally valid - take on the same subject. Both have free entry.
